No parade, Tierney again & midfielder scouted – Latest Liverpool FC News

A key update has emerged regarding an end-of-season bus parade for Liverpool, as well as a controversial choice of referee for Sunday’s clash with Tottenham.

 

End-of-season parade highly unlikely

It looks increasingly likely that Liverpool will finish the season with just the League Cup to show for their efforts, and no Premier League title.

So will there still be a bus parade if that happens?

According to This Is Anfield‘s David Lynch, Liverpool decided against having one – barring an unlikely league triumph in the next few weeks.

In truth, celebrating a solitary League Cup may be going too far, nice as it would be to give Jurgen Klopp a great send-off.

The club would have been ridiculed by many – perhaps fairly!
