Jurgen Klopp appears to suggest he could REFUSE to pay his £75,000 fine

Jurgen Klopp appears to suggest that he could REFUSE to pay his £75,000 fine following his sanction by the FA.

The Liverpool boss was hit with a hefty fine after his outburst against match referee Paul Tierney following his side's 4-3 win over Tottenham.

He accused Tierney of having an agenda against his team as he slammed the official during his post-match interview.

But in terms of the monetary punishment, he could withhold from paying his £75,000 fine unless the FA tell him where the money goes.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool's game against Villa, he said: "I expected the punishment with all the things that were being said and it’s OK.

"I would like to know, like always, where the money goes and, if it is to a good cause, I will be happy to pay it."

The German added: "If the FA keep it then we will have to talk again because that would be pretty harsh."

There could be a frosty standoff with England's ruling body over his fine.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are still hoping to secure a top-four finish so they can play Champions League football next season.

They currently occupy fifth spot and are one point behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played a game less than their rivals.

Third-placed Newcastle United look well-placed to finish in the Champions League spots as they have 69 points on the board, with two league games remaining.
