There is something more fundamentally financially wrong at Liverpool.
They have pursued the CL and PL which are the most lucrative competitions. At the same time they chose to sacrifice the FA and Carabao Cups so they had less games to play than clubs like City who take all competitions seriously.
This enabled Liverpool to able to repeatedly play their best team without injury with the added advantage of the PL assisting their success through officials, VAR, media and more as commercially beneficial.
Liverpool are now suffering the same level of injuries as other clubs with a level playing field. Their CB problems are no different to Citys last season and their solution is to buy a £2m Preston player and sign a free. It does not look like the "famed" FSG moneyball whilst the sit 4th and way behind City.
Corruption always comes to mind but Klopps statement about Manchester City having a 2 week winter break is mis-direction at its worst and clearly not factual. Worthy of journalistic investigation but I aint holding my breath.
