Liverpool fans have every right to question Man City rivalry after Premier League findings

Liverpool were beaten comfortably by Manchester City in what was the latter's first game since they were found guilty of 114 breaches by the Premier League. Even taking away Sunday, Reds supporters know how difficult it is to get the better of Man City.

For years, even seasons that would have won the title in almost any other era were not enough to finish first. Up until recently, Reds fans just had to accept they came up short in those title races.

But that has now changed following the Premier League's findings. An independent commission has found City guilty of 114 breaches of Premier League rules.

The club have appealed, and the question of sanctions remains separate. But after years of waiting for the case to reach this stage, supporters on the Red half of Merseyside are entitled to ask what the findings mean for a rivalry that defined much of the Jurgen Klopp era.

What are your thoughts on Man City being found guilty? Should we be awarded that 2013/14 title?

🤔 We are probably the club who has been impacted the most… Brendan Rodgers Should Liverpool have been more successful under Jurgen Klopp? The Klopp-Pep rivalry was one of the most entertaining and dramatic spectacles in the league's history.

Pep, on paper, came out on top. But would things have been different if City had not been able to spend so much money?

Liverpool West Derby MP Ian Byrne has described the situation as a 'farce', with plenty of supporters no doubt echoing that frustration. The concern is not simply about whether City will be punished.

It is about how long the process has taken and what that says about the Premier League's ability to police its own competition.
