It doesn't really. If you're worried about credibility of the league I think that ship has sailed whether you declare a retrospective winner or not.

I have no problem with them doing so, as such. Would just feel a bit pointless and would rather they didn't.

A lot of credibility can be redeemed by going about this the right way and throwing the book at City.

Honestly don't know what joy anyone would get out of winning a retrospective league title from 10 years ago.

I doubt they'll be stripped of their titles, but if they are (and tbh they unofficially have been in the minds of most) just declare no winner.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly. I wouldn't want to win more than way.

Don't see how they can be allowed to keep them though. What lesson does that send out? Cheaters do prosper?

Lance Armstrong has had his wins erased and rightly so.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Runners up never received the yellow jersey though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah because the runner up was also caught doping I think or something like that. They left them blank in honour of all the doping that had taken place. For real.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6/7 times for real?

man city have won 6 pls over the past decade+, so just strip away those titles, and the record books can just show asterisks next to 7 of the years

I don't think they should award 3 to Liverpool and 3 to United. They should declare them all null and void.

City shouldn't be allowed to keep those wins though as they are all tainted just like Lance Armstrong. They have to be stripped away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yet how is it fair to all who missed out due to financial cheating? Ole and Jose would be winners after all and go down as legends for you lot.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s only for the period up to the 2018 season, so United would get 2x PL titles and Liverpool would get one.

Amusingly, the Agueroooo moment would be erased from the history books.

A league season cannot have no winners. That's ridiculous and unworkable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, really doesn't work. The record books will show no winner due to cheating but the teams that didn't cheat get punished anyway.
Who would get the six titles? Liverpool and man utd a couple each, what about the other two?

Ah Greta has answered my question.

It’s only up to 2018 because the investigation took four years. Surely they’ll now be looking into the next four?

The head of the committee is an arsenal fan

This might actually undo all the wrong that fan base has done

But they’ve charged them with multiple breaches over the last four seasons too
