Jurgen Klopp has now been asked about Manchester City being found guilty of 115 Financial Fair Play breaches between 2009 and 2018.
The former Liverpool boss, who finished behind Pep Guardiola's team twice after the period the charges relate to, is viewed as one of the people who potentially lost out the most.

Klopp departed Anfield in 2024, having won the Premier League once in a nine-year spell. However, he previously joked that he would be more than happy to celebrate any titles being retrospectively awarded to the Reds.

Now in charge of the German national team, Klopp was directly asked about Man City being found guilty by the Premier League. The 59-year-old claimed he was aware of the verdict, but was quick to praise the Citizens and Guardiola for their achievements on the pitch.
He said: "Of course I've heard about that, but I haven't given it much thought. I can only wait and see. I have big respect for Pep Guardiola and City's style of football; they played fantastic football and were a top-class opponent for us.
"If any sanctions are handed out, I have nothing to do with it; I'll wait and see. I'm far from preparing for a title or anything like that. I'm absolutely fine with what we've achieved in Liverpool. We fought hard on the pitch. I can't say more about that because I don't know the details and I'm not interested in them."
