The public insistence from Liverpool will be that it is none of their business, but it would be only natural for them to have cast some curious glances over at Manchester City's plight this week.
City, who have directly beaten Liverpool to three of the last five Premier League titles, were charged with over 100 alleged breaches of financial regulations on Monday and are now entering something of an unprecedented period in top-level English football.
The investigation, which started in December 2018 after German website Der Spiegel published documents that were initially leaked by Portuguese computer hacker Rui Pinto, will now be sent to a commission, who will be appointed by the independent Chair of the Premier League Judicial Panel, in accordance with the division's rules.
