Former Manchester United and Russia international Andrey Kanchelskis has said it would be wrong to strip Manchester City of their trophies if the club are punished for alleged breaches of financial regulations.
“Taking trophies away is wrong,” Kanchelskis said while commenting on the latest developments involving the Premier League club.
Manchester City face serious sanctions after being found guilty of 114 of 115 alleged financial-rule violations. The case has attracted significant attention because of the potential consequences for the club.
Kanchelskis proposed punishment for Manchester City but argued that removing trophies would not be the correct measure. No further details of his suggested sanction were provided.
In the current English Premier League season, Manchester City are top of the table with 15 points. Enzo Maresca’s side are three points clear of their nearest challengers.
