Liverpool have demanded an explanation over a ridiculous foul on Cody Gakpo. The most decorated club in England is incensed about the fact that the Dutchman received a charge that was not punished.
Liverpool demand explanation after charge on Gakpo
According to The Athletic, Liverpool have asked refereeing boss Howard Webb for an explanation. The Englishman must explain to the club why Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings was able to get away with the charge. According to Liverpool, that is a controversial decision.
At Anfield, people were stunned that Mings was allowed to stay on the pitch. The international planted his studs on Gakpo’s chest, who was left shaken. The consequences were clearly visible on the attacker’s chest.
The VAR on duty, Tony Harrington, still reviewed the situation. Still, he supported referee John Brooks. Harrington advised his colleague not to come to the video screen and to uphold his decision to penalize Mings with a yellow card. Against the wishes of Liverpool.
Man Utd lose more than a quarter of a million per visit from their owners
With the FA Cup final against Manchester City on the program, Avram Glazer can look forward to another trip. The Athletic have revealed that the Manchester United co-owner paid the club €287,000 for attending finals earlier this season. Per final to be precise and only for the flight.
The medium’s Manchester United watcher has gained insight into the club’s financial figures. Glazer’s declarations immediately stood out. An invoice of €287,000 for a private jet trip was sent to the club after the businessman came to London for the League Cup final between Manchester United and Newcastle United. That match was won 2-0 on February 26 by Erik ten Hag’s team.
Glazer recently traveled back to London from Florida to attend United’s women’s FA Cup final. Chelsea was 1-0 too strong in that. Again the club had to pay for Glazer’s travel expenses and again the receipt for the private jet amounted to 287 thousand euros. The price is striking, because football players would only pay an average of twenty percent of that amount for renting private jets for a holiday, for example.
The leaking of these declarations does not help Glazer’s image. The American has long been under fire from United’s supporters. Supporters accuse him of using their club as a cash cow. Extra painful: the security and accommodation costs for the co-owner were still outside these amounts. New declarations are therefore on the way. On June 3, United will play against City at Wembley, chasing a second prize under Ten Hag.
