Jordan tells Liverpool and Man City players to pay for fans' travel for Cup semi

The clash will be held at the home of English football on April 16, however, there are logistical problems for thousands of fans with no trains running from the North West of England to London that weekend due to engineering works.

The Football Association have since provided 100 free coaches for 5,000 supporters who are set to embark down South. However, there are doubts over whether this will be enough to transport every fan affected.

Jordan, who previously described the FA's move as a 'solution of sorts', suggested the players should give up a proportion of their wages to help fund more coaches.

"If the players are so concerned about the fans, why don't they give up a proportion of their wages and put on a couple of hundred coaches themselves", Jordan said.

"That will cost about £200,000, so that is one player's salary for one week. No, no, they won't do that, there is no chance of them doing that.

"What they will do, is virtually say what everyone else should do, rather than what they could do.

"50 players, £4,000 each, half a day [of work]."

Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, and Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram had both requested that the match was relocated to a venue in the North of England.

Jordan had claimed that the said politicians were 'point scoring' in their attempts to try and move the venue.

"I've got to be honest, Jim, I'm tired of these politicians points scoring and virtue-signalling about sport," Jordan added.

"I like Andy Burnham, he's a very commendable individual, but every time there's a chance to pop up and make a populist observation that gives them an opportunity to lead from their own platform, they do it.

"The bottom line is that Wembley is a designated location, it's there, the travel has been taken from the trains, it's been taken by an alternate methodology. That's the end of the discussion, they don't run football."
