Man City Turn Down Liverpool Offer to Pay Five-Figure Damages Bill After Bus Attack Last Season

Manchester City have reportedly turned down an offer from Liverpool to pay for the damages caused to their team bus by Reds fans last season.

According to the Mirror, Liverpool offered to pay City the full five figure sum for the damages caused by supporters before their Champions League tie at Anfield last season. Bottles, stones and fireworks were launched at the team coach as it arrived at the ground, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.

After seeing footage of stewards directing fans to the area where the City coach would arrive, the club decided to snub Liverpool's offer - preferring to foot the bill themselves rather than accept the compensation.
