Everton bans The **** Rag after Kelvin MacKenzie's Ross Barkley article.
Everton has banned The **** Rag journalists from its stadium and training ground in the wake of a column about player Ross Barkley.
The newspaper has suspended Kelvin MacKenzie after he expressed "wrong" and "unfunny" views about the people of Liverpool.
Police are also investigating claims the article by Mr Mackenzie amounts to a "racial hate crime".
Barkely, an England international was punched twice in an "unprovoked" nightclub attack last weekend.
Writing about the incident, Mr MacKenzie likened the 23-year-old, who has a grandfather born in Nigeria, to "a gorilla in the zoo".
The article, entitled "Here's why they go ape at Ross", was printed alongside a close-up photograph of Barkley's eyes above the eyes of a gorilla.
Mr MacKenzie wrote that "thick and single" Barkley was "an attractive catch in the Liverpool area where the only men with similar pay packets are drug dealers".
