Kev Moore is one of the workers tasked with working on increasing the capacity of the storied ground to 61,000, which started in 2021.

Liverpool released a video on June 8 of the off-season work that showed the 282-tonne roof of the stand being lifted off by four large cranes.

The work, which is set to cost £80 million, will add 7,000 new seats to Liverpool’s home ground, but the club are in a race against time to ensure that Jurgen Klopp’s side can compete in the stadium at the start of next season.

The club has requested that their opening match of the season be played away from home, to allow them more time to make the finishing touches ahead of the stand’s unveiling at the start of the 2023-24 season.

Moore shared a video claiming he had been sacked after the video circulated on social media, posting the clip alongside the message: “Sacked by (Liverpool) for a video I didn’t post.

“No idea how it got so big so quick”.

When approached for comment, Liverpool confirmed that they did not sack Moore, nor did they request his company, Buckingham Group Contracting, to sack him.

However, Buckingham Group Contracting have a staff policy that states that phones are not allowed on site except for work purposes, which in filming his videos, Moore will have found himself in violation of.

A source close to the company claimed that the Moore had not been sacked, but had been sent home for the rest of the day instead.
