Doubt the EFL have balls to make the correct decision.
Liverpool could be kicked out of Carabao Cup for fielding an ineligible player

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

Sunderland got fined a years ago for the same thing.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
As a neutral, I think a 6 year ban from the carabao cup and an 18 point deduction will suffice
Football's governing bodies don't give a single shit about what is right.
Relegate them, will someone please think of the children!
Bet most Liverpool fans won't mind if it happens.
What a shame.
I'd take a 6 year ban from the carabao for sure.
Most neutrals on RedCafe would prefer to see a no game ban, small fine, no points deduction and Ole sacked. We would fight this tooth and nail in the courts more than above.
Pretty much this. They'd rather concentrate on the league and the CL, both of which are achievable.
This will set a dangerous precedent unless they're aptly punished, e.g. -30 points deduction should suffice. Otherwise it's bollocks and Rafa controls the FA.
We might actually win something if we can get all the Premiership clubs kicked out.
I think the only option is expulsion from the League and their place to be taken by Bury. I’m sure people can get behind this!
Want them to stay in it, more games will slow them down in the league.
I am not saying this because it's Liverpool - but to me the rules should be clear. If a club uses a player who is not eligable to play, they should lose the game. When Norway U21 did it against Kosovo and won 5-0 (it was Ajer from Celtic who was suspended because of yellow cards) - Norway lost the game 3-0. No one complained - because they knew the rules. Same should apply here - it's the clubs responsibility.
That's what I want. They have the league, the Champions League, the league cup, the club world cup around Christmas, the FA Cup afterwards.
Surely fatigue will bite the cnuts hard at some point.
That's why a two leg replay is the more appropriate response.
Disband the club tbh
Typical Liverpool fans already pouring through "precedents". They did this with assorted suarez behaviour too
Relax mate
This is nowhere as bad as racial abuse. Precedents are important in any legal proceeding. And this one was mentioned in the article I read. Didn't think it will offend a United fan. Will delete the post, though.
PS. Also, the correct usage is 'poring' (pore vs pour), I think.
Who was the player, why were the ineligible?
There'd still be about 30 better teams than us in it!
Yeah the phrase is "poring over"

Pedro Chirivella. A 22 year old Spaniard who was loaned out to Extremedura second half of last season.
Grays athletic a non league side were thrown out of the FA cup last week for accidentaly playing an illegible player. This is costing them £10,000 and potentialy killing the club. So.....
Correct.
Before reading who the ineligible player was I knew it would be Chirivella. He’s been around the club for years and yet still is in our youth setup somehow, honestly thought we had moved him on ages ago. Stupid error from our admin on this.
I wish they do this in the league's game instead. 
If this is true, then there is no way Liverpoool can be kicked out?
They seem to be breaking a lot of rules this season and getting away with it. All their stories are quickly brushed under the carpet.
I haven’t even seen this until it was on redcafe.

I expect similar coward ruling. Neither team did this to cheat, so a fine makes no sense. The other team progressing would be the fair call

Biting incident too in fairness.
It would be a blessing in disguise for them. Useless fixtures and travels that tires the players.
Ah yes. Looking at precedents because you are interested in knowing the most likely outcome of something related to your club is purely a Liverpool thing.
Furthermore, my source* has claimed that Liverpool deliberately fielded an ineligible player so they'd be bunged out of the Coco Pops Cup or whatever it's called this week. Consequently, they could then concentrate on the Grand National...or something.
It's outrageous behaviour, and the whole team should be sold to Greggs.
*Me.
That's a well run club.
Should be a 3-0 loss against MK Dons, shouldn't it? If it turns out he was ineligible, that is.
I agree with this and would have zero issues if it was us.
Rules are rules. In the CL who remembers Celtic going through against Warsaw after Warsaw fielded ineligible players.
Good for them, the less games for them the better
