Tie drew questions on social media. For one thing, it is extremely unusual that a government official wears a tie of a sports team, aside from a sports team. For another, Patel did not express the fandom to the public for Liverpool in the past – at least not with words. Nevertheless, he was wearing Liverpool bonds at least two separate cases. First, on December 12, 2024, when Patel visited Donald Trump’s victory in that year’s elections, he visited various deputies in Capitol Hill, and then I was told that Patel was a part of the administration. Secondly, about five months later, on April 9, 2025, the US officials arrived at a press event that initiated the narcotics capture of the US officials. Until then, Patel was approved as the director of the FBI.
In particular, when Patel wears the same thick striped tie containing the Liverpool logo at the bottom at the bottom, it is different with thinner lines and a more pronounced logo (“Heritage Tie”. Currently available £ 15 in Liverpool’s official club shop). The visible property of multiple Liverpool bonds will indicate that it is not a FLUKE to wear them.
On Tuesday, the trial committee in front of Patel became controversial at various points. FBI Director, US senators Cory Booker and Adam Schiff screaming in a match, defended the leadership of the agency, on January 6, 2021 Capitol’a attacks on the investigations for long -term employees who participated in the investigations and TWEET’nin, the conservative activist Charlie’nin announced that the murder of the detention.
Patel, “I do not see this as a mistake, I see as something – I work with the public to determine that there is a subject in custody,” he said.
If he supported Patel Liverpool, he would represent a sharp conflict of political commitment. Patel, one of the leading law enforcement officers in the United States, has become a public face of a second Trump administration using authoritarian tactics to influence many areas of public life in the United States.

Although Liverpool’s work is compatible with the Premier League financial juggernaut these days, the elements of socialist ideology are still present in the club. Jürgen Klopp, who ruled Liverpool for a great success from 2015 to 2024, summarized his politics to Biography writer Raphael Honigstein: orum If I am good, I want others to be successful.
The supporters of the club have a great opposition to law enforcement officers in their history. Most stems from the Hillsborough disaster, who killed the club’s 97 fans in 1989, and the police’s supporters fixing the situation in themselves by accusing the hooliganism and drunkenness. Years later, he made separate investigations that the crowd that killed 97 was actually caused by the heavy neglect on the police side and that the authorities mislead the crime to fans.
