Jurgen Klopp has joked about how he would react if Manchester City were found guilty of breaching their alleged 115 financial charges.
In May, the former Liverpool boss claimed that despite the charges being a valid topic of discussion, Manchester City’s dominance could only have been achieved due to Pep Guardiola’s presence.
Earlier this year, it was reported that City are confident that they will clear their name against the Premier League’s charges.
Klopp jokes about the 115 financial charges Man City are facing
However, until now, there is no indication of whether the Sky Blues or the league itself are likelier to win the case.
In January, it was reported that if City are found guilty, punishments could be as severe as their titles being stripped.
During a question and answer session with comedian John Bishop, Klopp initially said via The Telegraph: “TNT [the broadcaster]; no 12.30 [kick-offs] discussion; referees; we don’t talk about Man City – don’t know why, we don’t talk about financial things, VAR.”
Jurgen Klopp was quizzed about how he would react if Liverpool were handed two more titles if Manchester City were found guilty of their 115 alleged financial breaches.
Klopp joked: “If you organise a bus parade, I’m in. How long it takes, I don’t care how long.”
Such discussions will continue until Man City clear their name
Jurgen Klopp ultimately made a tongue-in-cheek comment about the 115 financial charges Manchester City are facing that typify his outspoken personality.
However, such discussions about the club will continue, either in jest or in seriousness until they manage to prove their innocence.
Last Wednesday, Gary Neville felt that if the English giants were found guilty, their success would have been built upon a “rule-breaking foundation” — even though he believes the players and Pep Guardiola would not be to blame.
Manchester City will be determined to be proven innocent and put an end to such conversations from managers and pundits.
