Robertson, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, believes that Manchester City should retain its Premier League title medals.

Manchester City faces severe penalties after being found guilty of breaching financial regulations. Premier League supporters are demanding strong action against Manchester City, which has consistently denied the allegations and is preparing to appeal.

Robertson previously played for Hull City and Liverpool and faced Manchester City across three seasons between 2009 and 2018. He insists that any punishment should not tarnish Manchester City's on-field success.

Robertson stated: "I think you can tell by the tone of my voice that I'm shocked; I actually haven't seen this news yet."

"This case has obviously been dragging on for a long time. For me, the players proved on the pitch that they were good enough."

"I don't know the details of these allegations or anything like that. But they had an incredible team back then, a team I really enjoyed playing against."

"I don't think the players should be held responsible in these situations. That's the only thing I can focus on."

Liverpool could receive another Premier League trophy from the 2013/14 season. At that time, Liverpool finished second behind Manchester City, and Robertson joined Liverpool three years later.

This means Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard could finally receive the Premier League winners' medal that eluded him throughout his career.

Following a four-year investigation by an independent commission, all but one of the 115 charges Manchester City has faced since 2023 have been upheld.

These charges include failure to provide accurate financial information and details related to player and coaching staff remuneration. Allegations of breaches of UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules and the Premier League's own Profitability and Sustainability Rules are also covered by the charges.

Final penalties have not yet been determined, but severe consequences remain under consideration, including points deductions, fines, and even expulsion from the Premier League.

Manchester United could also receive two additional Premier League trophies from 2012 and 2018, seasons in which they finished behind Manchester City, who won the title.

All but one of the 115 charges Manchester City initially faced have been upheld. These charges were subsequently increased to 130 and categorized into six groups.
