Jurgen Klopp reveals what he'll do if Man City are stripped of Premier League titles

Jurgen Klopp has already said what he would do if Manchester City get stripped of their titles by the Premier League.

Klopp only won one Premier League title during his nine seasons in charge of Liverpool, finishing as a runner up on two occasions to Pep Guardiola's Man City in 2018/19 and again in 2021/22.

Back in February 2023 City were charged with serious breaches by the Premier League, with a 10-week hearing held in September 2024.

Although proceedings concluded shortly after in December 2024, the verdict from the three-member Independent Commission panel has yet to be announced with no imminent decision expected.

However, football finance expert Kieran Maguire has helped provide an insight on potential punishments in a recent appearance on The Overlap.

“If we take a look at precedence, we have had Everton and Nottingham Forest with six and four-point deductions for a single offence covering a three-year period," Maguire explained.

"The accusations against Manchester City cover a nine-year period, so it is far bigger.

"I think you have to add a zero to what we’ve seen in terms of Forest and Everton, so somewhere between a 40 and 60-point deduction would be, on merit to be consistent with what we’ve seen with other decisions, would make a lot of logic."

The stripping of titles won during the alleged period of breaches also remains a possibility, but experts believe that is one of the more unlikely outcomes.

Speaking last year, former Liverpool manager Klopp revealed what his plans would be if his former club inherited titles from The Etihad.

"We had this discussion when I left," Klopp explained via ESPN.

"I haven't spent a lot of time in Mallorca because I am always flying around the place, but if it would happen, I told all the people who wanted to [come]: 'Just book a flight to Mallorca. I will buy the beer!' We'd have our own parade in my garden," he joked.

Liverpool finished on 97 points in 18/19, and 92 in 21/22, with the 18/19 season the most points ever scored in the Premier League by a club who didn't win the title.
