In a stunning proclamation, former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has declared he will throw a massive party on the Spanish island of Mallorca if Manchester City is stripped of their Premier League titles due to financial Fair Play violations. The bold statement from the charismatic German comes as City faces a reckoning over alleged breaches stretching back over a decade.
