J\u00fcrgen Klopp has tempered his view on the possibility of Manchester City losing Premier League titles, saying he is \u201cnot really interested\u201d in seeing that outcome play out.<\/p>\n
The former Liverpool manager had previously joked in January 2025 that he would welcome everyone to a private parade in Mallorca, Spain, if City\u2019s titles were ever removed. His latest comments point in a very different direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t given it much thought,\u201d the current boss of the Germany national team said. \u201cI also know that I said that if there\u2019s ever a parade, I\u2019d come. I can only wait and see.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have big respect for Pep Guardiola and City\u2019s 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\u2019ll wait and see.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t really have any strong feelings about it. It\u2019s not like I need to have won the English title a few more times. I\u2019m far from preparing for a title or anything like that. I\u2019m absolutely fine with what we achieved in Liverpool. We fought hard on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t say more about that because I don\u2019t know the details. To be honest, I\u2019m also not really interested in it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Premier League\u2019s disciplinary framework allows for a range of punishments if rules are found to have been broken. Financial penalties and points deductions are part of that structure, while the regulations also leave room for \u201csuch other penalty as it shall think fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
That gives the league the authority to strip City of titles if it chose to do so, although that remains only one possible outcome. When the guilty verdict against City first surfaced, reports suggested any punishment would likely not be retrospective. BBC Sport also noted there was \u201clittle appetite\u201d from the league or rival clubs to remove the club\u2019s trophies.<\/p>\n
If the issue ever reached that stage, the debate would focus on which honours could be affected. City have been punished for actions between 2009 and 2018, a period in which they won three Premier League titles: in 2011-12, 2013-14 and 2017-18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
