Liverpool chairman Tom Werner attended a meeting about the club being involved in pre-season tournament - which would mean more matches each season - days before manager Jurgen Klopp complained about playing an FA Cup replay. And according to The Sun, just a few days before Klopp decided to shun the responsibility of managing the club’s FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town, Werner had been holding talks about adding another competition to the club’s already jam-packed schedule. So far this season Liverpool have competed in the Community Shield, the Premier League, The FA Cup, The Carabao Cup, the Club World Cup, the European Super Cup and the Champions League. The report claims Werner joined several top executives from other European clubs to discuss the idea of a money-making pre-season tournament.
