David Moyes says solidarity across the city makes Liverpool a ‘special' place
The Toffees boss, who famously coined the phrase The People's Club when he took over in his first spell at Goodison Park in 2002, has praised the way the community supported each other in the wake of the horrific events of Liverpool's victory parade on Monday. Police have been given extra time to question a 53-year-old white, British man from West Derby, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs, after dozens of people were injured by a car on Water Street in the city centre, close to the end of the route. 'One of the things that makes this city special is the solidarity between the people, who always come together in times of hardship,' said Moyes in a statement posted on the club's social media. — Everton (@Everton) May 28, 2025 The 62-year-old Scot, who passed on the best wishes of him and his staff to those affected and praised the emergency services, added: 'We always stand together in the most difficult times.' Both clubs' supporters have a shared history of supporting each other, most notably surrounding the 1989 Hillsborough disaster which killed 97 Liverpool fans. Moyes' Liverpool counterpart Arne Slot had offered a similar sentiment in his acceptance of the League Managers Association's manager of the year award. The Dutchman did not attend the event in London 'out of solidarity with all affected' and wrote a letter explaining his thinking. 'I would like to take this opportunity to thank the wider football community, including the LMA itself, the Premier League and many clubs who will be represented, for the support we have received over the last 24 hours,' he said. 'Football is and always should be a game built on rivalry, but it is also a great source of comradeship, especially at times like this.' Former Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy, a self-confessed Reds fan, said he was still trying to come to terms with what had happened. 'I watched it on my phone and it was one of those you wished you didn't watch,' the Wales manager told a press conference. 'It's heartbreaking. To go to what should be an incredible moment – the most successful club in England, equalling 20 titles which was so important – and to see that happen it was incredible. 'Like everyone else I'm trying to absorb it now. Maybe I will do in the next few weeks but at this present moment it is still quite raw for me and still quite sad. 'I'm still trying to come to terms with it myself.' Water Street was reopened on Wednesday morning, with all remnants of Monday's incident cleared away with only a few cards and flowers left by the side of the road by well-wishers. Merseyside Police said on Wednesday that seven people remained in hospital in a stable condition. 'We continue to support those still receiving treatment and as part of our ongoing inquiries we are identifying more people who were injured,' Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson said. 'I want to reassure the public of Merseyside that detectives are making significant progress as we seek to establish the full circumstances that led to what happened.'

Bottoms Up! Everton Set To Break Strict Premier League Rule For Final Home Game At Goodison Park
Last Updated: David Moyes' side is preparing to bid an emotional farewell to Goodison Park in the final men's match at the 132-year-old Liverpool stadium against Southampton on Sunday. In what is touted as the last hurrah, Everton plans to loosen up the mood at the historic Goodison Park by re-opening kiosks to allow fans to buy alcohol and enjoy the last outing with a cold one in the stands — breaking a stringent Premier League rule along the way. Moyes' side will be hoping to toast a drink in jubilation, rather than to drink away their sorrows when they take on the already-relegated Southampton in the final home game of the season. David Moyes' side is preparing to bid an emotional farewell to Goodison Park in the final men's match at the 132-year-old Liverpool stadium against Southampton on Sunday. The Premier League club plans to open its new arena at Bramley-Moore Dock next season. As a little gesture of celebration and thanks for the Toffees' faithful, the club has announced that fans coming in for the final home game of the season will be permitted to drink alcohol in the stands and consume it within view of the pitch after the match. The kiosks and bars in the stadium will sell alcohol before the game and at halftime, meaning supporters will only be able to drink in the concourse area for the game, as usual. For the first time in 40 years, Everton fans will be permitted to bring alcohol into the stands of Goodison Park for their Premier League game this weekend. 🍻A special rule break is in place for the occasion as fans bid farewell to the iconic ground. 💙 — Football Away Days (@FBAwayDays) May 15, 2025 It won't be the end of Goodison Park as a whole, though. Everton's women currently play at nearby Walton Hall Park. With a capacity of 39,572, Goodison will become the largest dedicated women's football stadium in England. During the construction of Everton's new 53,000-capacity stadium on the dockside, the club's previous owners announced plans for a renovation project at Goodison that would have included housing, a care home, retail units, and a park. But after being taken over by The Friedkin Group in December, Everton switched their plans to retain the stadium. First Published:
