Jamie Carragher has claimed Everton would be the ‘biggest club’ to ever be relegated from the Premier League if such a fate is suffered this season - ahead of Newcastle United.
The Merseyside club have been in the English top-flight for 51 years, but that history is in turmoil after a woeful season which leaves them in the bottom three with six games to go. Writing in his weekly column for the Telegraph, Carragher made the claim that Everton are a bigger club than the likes of Aston Villa, Leeds United and - most importantly - the Magpies.
“If Everton are relegated, they will be the biggest club in Premier League history to suffer that dismal fate.” Carragher wrote.
