Reds’ evidence against Man City & 2 forwards linked – Latest Liverpool FC News

Liverpool’s involvement in Man City‘s legal case has been explained, while the Reds are reportedly keeping a close eye on two Bundesliga attackers.

Today’s Main LFC Headline

On Monday, it was claimed that City had earned a ‘win’ against the Premier League over legal action relating to the associated party transaction (APT) rules.

Ultimately, though, they were actually unsuccessful in 23 of their 25 objections.

In true City fashion, though, they clearly briefed the media to make it look like a ‘victory’, which is nonsense!

Now, it turns out that Liverpool were one of eight top-flight clubs to give evidence to the Premier League, with rivals Arsenal and Man United also in the same boat.

The 175-page document, which can be read here, reveals that Everton (hang your heads in shame!), Chelsea and Newcastle (shock horror!) acted as witnesses FOR City.

This all nicely highlights the contrasting morals of these clubs!

Liverpool FC: On this day

On October 8, 2015, Jurgen Klopp was appointed Liverpool manager, on one of the most significant days in the club’s History.

The German replaced Brendan Rodgers and went on to become a legendary figure at Anfield, fulfilling his promise of turning doubters into believers.

Klopp not only won seven trophies at Liverpool – eight if you include the Community Shield! – but he understood the values of the club and city perfectly.

The 57-year-old ended the Reds’ long 30-year wait for a league title and played astounding Football along the way, and his exit this year was emotional.

Klopp left as one of the most iNFLuential Liverpool figures of all time – here’s hoping Slot can follow suit!
