Man City and Liverpool send joint message to fans over 'unacceptable' behaviour

A letter has been sent to all match-going Manchester City and Liverpool fans, urging supporters to report unacceptable and inappropriate behaviours in games between the two rivals.

Last week, MEN Sport reported that both clubs held a high-level meeting in November to call a truce after a number of unsavoury incidents in matches between City and Liverpool - culminating in an acrimonious fixture at Anfield in October where coins were thrown at the City bench, and unacceptable graffiti mocking the Hillsborough disaster left in the away concourse. City alleged their bus was attacked on the way out of Anfield, as it was on the way in to the same stadium in 2018, while the Blues felt that pre-match comments from Jurgen Klopp about their spending power also contributed to a toxic atmosphere.

However, the clubs have now come together to attempt to improve relations off the pitch and in the stands, with last month's meeting being attended by supporter representatives of both clubs, plus safety officers and senior management. Now, City CEO Ferran Soriano and Liverpool counterpart Billy Hogan have sent a letter to supporters asking for their help.
