Jurgen Klopp has responded with emotion, disdain and genuine hurt at accusations of “boderline xenophobia” when discussing Manchester City ’s financial position.
After a lifetime of fighting discrmination of any form, the Liverpool manager said he couldn’t live with himself if the claims - made in several newspapers, and attributed to an unnamed and unidentified official of the Manchester club - were true.
The Anfield board, outraged at such baseless and offensive allegations, Liverpool swiftly moved to issue legal letters to at least two newspapers, making clear they must be retracted.
