Liverpool face expulsion from the Carabao Cup

[Davelfc]

Liverpool face expulsion from the Carabao Cup over the fielding of an ineligible player in Wednesday night's 2-0 win over MK Dons.

Kop boss Jurgen Klopp played an experimental young side and are due to face Arsenal at home in the next round of the competition but if an investigation proves they played a player who was not correctly registered, they could be expelled.

"The club are aware of a potential administrative issue pertaining to one of our players," a club statement said.

"We are working with the relevant authorities in order to establish the facts of the matter and will be making no further comment until this process is complete."

The EFL added: "We are currently considering the matter."

It is understood 22-year-old Spaniard, Pedro Chirivella, is the player in question with his international clearance questioned. 

Liverpool beat MK Dons thanks to goals from James Milner and Ki-Jana Hoever.

Probable fine, the F.A can sort out their Xmas visit to Soho.

Sickening.

They could call for the game to be replayed.

There's precedent with Sunderland being fined and it would be difficult to argue that Chirivella made a definitive contribution to the outcome of the match. I suspect a fine is most likely  (if he really is ineligible) but expulsion makes for better headlines.

Klopp out!

The best part of this is no matter the result Everton and man City fans will be fuming. 

 

Either its a fine and we get away with it because of redshite bias, or we get kicked out and then it'll be a case of us intentionally doing it so we get kicked out without having to suffer any losses.

I can't believe Lallana would do this, how could he?

 

He has to walk for this.

Give me my Autocup money back u cunt.

I'd be kinda impressed if Liverpool were kicked out. If the roles were reversed and it were MK Dons who had won after fielding an ineligible player, they'd already be out. Oh, and let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks that recent success on the pitch shows well run the 'club' is these days. The 'club' is the same mix of the sublime and the ridiculous. All that is different is Klopp.

Our lovely Bloo neighbours, Moral High Ground FC, will be all over this. Probably calling for us to be expelled from the Premier League as well, with a dose of their reasoning.

[Strontium]

Never heard of a club not having international clearance for a player they bought 6 years earlier, I don't even know how that would be possible. 

[alles ist gut]

There’s every chance that this is down to the Spanish Federation fucking with us, AGAIN, just as it was with the loan move for Chirivella in February.

[cloggypop]

When you think about it, playing a lesser player here actually weakens us in this competition yet strengthens us in all other competitions due to being able to rest a player. 

 

The only fair and morally correct thing to do is to keep us in the Milk Cup and kick us out of everything else.

The  Evertonians will demand we return the European Cup, be relegated and Klopp face the Guillotine.

And that's just the more moderate ones 

[Bjornebye]

The most astounding part of this is that Chirivella is only 22. When did we sign him? When he was 6? Feels like the fuckers been at the club for years

Nah.

 

The Sunderland precedent suggests a fine would be proportionate.

[Anubis]

Cheatpool. Kick the cheating RS bastards out.

[magicrat]

Be a fine , possibly suspended.  Nothing to see here really

[aws]

We'll get garotted.
