Jurgen Klopp references Man City's 115 FFP charges at Liverpool farewell event

Jurgen Klopp briefly spoke about Manchester City's 115 FFP charges at his Liverpool farewell event.

Klopp left his role as Liverpool boss after the final game of the Premier League season, with Arne Slot set to arrive at the club from Feyenoord to replace him.

On Tuesday evening, Liverpool held a farewell event to celebrate Klopp's near nine-year spell at Anfield, which saw him win seven trophies.

Unsurprisingly, the topic of Manchester City came up - including their 115 charges from the Premier League for allegedly breaching financial rules.

A date has been set for their initial hearing into the charges - which were brought back in 2023 - and if the club is found guilty, punishments could range from fines to relegation.

During Klopp's event, comedian John Bishop asked the now former manager about what he would do if City were stripped of Premier League titles, meaning the German will have won three league titles during his time at Anfield instead of the one he won in the 2019/20 season.

He replied: "If you organise a bus parade, I am in! How long it takes, I don't care."

According to The Times, City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak, managing director Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Begiristain have all 'assured' manager Pep Guardiola that the club will be cleared when the 115 charges against them are heard later this year.

They relate to a time period between 2009 and 2018. City have strenuously denied the charges.

The full list of charges against City are as follows:

• Failure to provide accurate and up-to-date financial information from 2009/10 to and including 2017/18 - 54 alleged breaches
• Failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations from December 2018 - present [February 2023] - 35 alleged breaches
• Failure to provide accurate financial reports for player and manager compensation from 2009/10 to and including 2017/18 - 14 alleged breaches
• Breaches of Premier League profitability and sustainability regulations from 2015/16 to and including 2017/18 - Seven alleged breaches
• Failure to comply with UEFA's regulations, including UEFA's Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations - Five alleged breaches
