    Their cheated titles won't be given to runners up, but their achievements will be erased. That'll do

      No the runners up must be given the recognition they deserve.

        The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

          To me that feels right, but also kind of meaningless at the same time.

          There’d be no undoing or making up for what City have done.

          Robbed of a CL/PL double and a domestic treble. Sickening.

              They'll be stripped of titles surely?

                I’d usually say just strip them of the tittles and leave it at that but the extent to which they’ve gone about all of this I feel like the teams who finished second deserve the tittles.

                May be a bit meaningless to some but the players that had those ridiculous seasons only to finish a point behind deserve to be called champions for their efforts.

                  You’d hope so, but it wouldn’t really fix anything in terms of what Liverpool’s fans and players have been cheated out of.

                    I totally agree it’d be a hollow victory but a victory all the same. Wiping their name off the trophy just isn’t enough

                        I think it’s fanciful to think they will strip titles, never mind handing them out to the teams that finished second.

                          Has anyone ever been stripped of a league title or Cup trophy, and was it then handed to the 2nd place team.
                          Surely to have the next best points total in the year (and the winner is removed ) is proof that you are the winner by default.

                          too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

                            I feel for their players as they did have to score the goals, make the passes and tackles, do the running and follow the manager's instructions.

                            The club cheated, not the players so I feel bad for something they weren't aware of. Unless they were aware of it in which case I hope they get relegated to the Sunday league!

                              Did it not happen in Italy with Juve? Too lazy to check
