The feud kicked off this week when Carragher, who grew up an Everton fan despite going on to make nearly 750 appearances for Liverpool, openly questioned ...

Joorabchian claims to have only ever transferred three of his own players to Everton in recent years, adding that Carlo Ancelotti is the only manager he has recommended to Moshiri and that other advice has been turned down or not acted upon.
