The new kit has drawn a fantastic reaction from supporters, with one person taking to X to write: "If only we were half as good our kit designs." Another commented: "This is the best kit there is."

"When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon. "From the moment that I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and family environment that the club has created. It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfil all of my ambitions. "I cannot wait to start learning from Ruben [Amorim] and connecting with my team-mates to achieve the success that we all know we are capable of together."

Shamed Premier League ref David Coote slapped with ban and mandatory education for scathing Jurgen Klopp rant
DAVID COOTE has been slapped with a two-month ban by the FA for his rant about Jurgen Klopp. As well as his suspension, Coote must undergo a mandatory face-to-face education programme. 1 Coote was sacked by the Premier League in December 2024, after the PGMOL intially suspended him. He has now been further punished by the FA for an "aggravated breach" of rule E3.2 due to referencing Klopp's nationality in the video. Coote admitted the charge and the FA said the ex-ref expressed "deep remorse" and acknowledged his comments were "crass and inappropriate". Coote also said that his words did not reflect his true view of Klopp, who he had a "deep professional respect" He also apologised to the former Liverpool boss personally and to The FA, PGMOL and the wider football community. The clip, which was filmed around July 2020, was leaked online in November 2024. In the viral video, he referred to Liverpool as "s***" and extraordinarily dropped the C-bomb to describe ex-Reds boss Klopp. Coote said: "Liverpool were s*** . Klopp is an absolute c***. "Aside from having a right pop at me when I was refereeing them against Burnley in lockdown, he accused me of lying and then had a right f***ing pop of me. "I have no interest in speaking to someone who is f***ing arrogant. So I do my best not to speak to him. James Milner is all right, I get on with him. "You can see me there with a 'mask' on. But, my god, German c***, f*** me."
