Even for Liverpool, in the 6 years before Klopp took over Liverpool, they’d finished 6th, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 6th, 7th. Yeah, they had great history, but they were scuffling pretty significantly.

For comparison, the 6 years before Pep took over City, they’d finished top 4 every year, with two EPL titles and two second place finishes. And of course they had the bankroll and were massive cheaters.
