'They will always be "sort of champions"... there will always be an asterisk next to them': Ex-Liverpool chief Rick Parry is put on the spot as he's grilled by MPs over football's coronavirus response... but refuses to 'speculate' on early end to season

Former Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has refused to be drawn into the debate over whether the Reds should be crowned Premier League champions if the season cannot be finished.

Jurgen Klopp's side currently lie 25 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table with 10 matches left to be played before the season was shut down by the coronavirus pandemic.

Many expect the Reds to be crowned champions, given their huge numerical advantage, but the question still exists over whether they should be handed the trophy if the season cannot be completed.
