We the Reds have won one more championship than is officially accepted.
When Everton left Anfiled they could only do so by setting up a fresh company with a new board, directors and officials, plus the issue of 5, 000 shares. The Football League allowed this entity to take the name and retain League membership.
John Houlding, wanted his new club to inherit all those privileges, but once this was denied he changed the club`s name.
He registered Everton FC and Athletic Grounds LTD on 15 March 1892 while the soon-to-be old tenants remained in residence, Once that plan was thwarted the new name- intended to be Liverpool Football Club Towards the end of March, just two weeks after the board split, Houlding`s committee passed a resolution giving effect to the suggestion.
During the summer the Board of Trade, a government department, accepted the change of name from Everton Football Club and Athletic Grounds Company LTD.
The Record books reflect that Everton FC hold that title and no Liverpool fan will want to clam the accolade but strictly speaking the REDS have won 19 English titles
Offically
Liverpool 18 and 5 EU cups
Un-offically
Liverpool 19 5 EU cups
