Manchester City’s situation is unenviable. The Premier League authorities have found more than 100 breaches of well-known rules during a four-year investigation, which could be disastrous for the club. The greatest punishment may be demotion and taking away the titles won, which could please e.g. Steven Gerrard and Jose Mourinho.
Ten years of success
In the Premier League report on the activities of Manchester City, the club’s activity in the years 2009-2018 was taken into account. During this time, “Citizens” became a world power, winning, among others, three national titles, beating many of the top teams in English football who also wanted to reach for their dreams.
Great Manchester United
Of the three Premier League titles won by City, two would go to Manchester United. In the 2011/2012 season, Alex Ferguson would win his last trophy in his coaching career. It was then that the rivalry between the two teams from Britain’s sixth largest city continued until the final round, where a miracle by Sergio Aguero happened.
The Red Devils would add one more trophy to their cabinet after being crowned Premier League champions in the 2017-18 season. At that time, the advantage of Manchester City was much greater, but until the very end, the team led by Jose Mourinho tried to step on the rivals’ heels. The Portuguese, who still considers himself the best coach who appeared at “Old Trafford” after the departure of Alex Ferguson, would then get the best proof of this.
Steven Gerrard Nightmares
Manchester City’s troubles may also bring some joy to Liverpool fans. Taking away the titles from “Citizens” would also mean giving one to Brendan Rodgers’ team that delighted the world in the 2013/2014 season. Then the nightmares dreaming at night for Steven Gerrard would end, and he would receive the coveted championship, lost among others in because of his stupid mistake against Chelsea.
In addition, the next two titles would also go to London’s Chelsea. An interesting situation would take place in the case of the FA Cup. The greatest success in history, twelve years after the final, would be Stoke City, currently playing at the back of the Premier League.
