Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp gives eight-word answer to bombshell Premier League news

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp opted against commenting on the Premier League charging Manchester City with breaching financial rules.

City are alleged to have broken 115 rules from the 2009-10 to the 2017-18 season. An independent commission will now review the case, which reportedly could take up to four years to settle. If found guilty, City be expelled from the Premier League, suspended or given a points deduction.

City have been Liverpool’s closest rival during Klopp’s time as Anfield chief. The Reds won the Premier League in 2020 and finished second to Pep Guardiola’s side in 2019 and 2022.

But Klopp refused to give an answer to what he thought about the charges when previewing Monday’s Merseyside derby against Everton. When asked, he responded: “I have absolutely nothing to say about that.”
