Jurgen Klopp is not readying himself to receive more titles retrospectively in the wake of Manchester City’s guilty verdict.
It was confirmed on Tuesday that an independent commission had found Man City guilty on the vast majority of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League.
The charges, which were made in 2023, relate to breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules across a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018.
It has been found that City’s breach amounted to around £900m.
During the period in question, City won three Premier League titles. However, it also paved the way for what was to come under Pep Guardiola.
In 2018-19, City won their fourth Premier League crown, and their second under Guardiola, by finishing one point ahead of Klopp’s Liverpool.

That sparked a thrilling rivalry between City and the Reds, with Liverpool winning the title in 2020 and pushing Guardiola’s juggernaut close again in 2022.
With a plethora of punishments open to the commission at an upcoming sanctions hearing, there has been a suggestion City could have titles stripped, but Klopp is not expecting to receive a retrospective winners’ medal.
“I haven’t given it much thought, even though I’ve seen it of course,” said the Germany boss.
“Should any sanctions be imposed, I naturally have nothing to do with it anyway, and that’s why I’m waiting to see how things pan out. But when you’re talking about legal proceedings that have been going on for so long now, I assume there will be an appeal or something like that? That will take ages again of course.
“So I’m a long way from preparing myself for it in any way and I don’t have any feelings about it.”
City insist they are innocent and are expected to appeal the verdict.
Their next Premier League outing is against Liverpool at Anfield on October 11.
