Manchester City has been found guilty of multiple breaches of Premier League financial fair play rules, with the league expected to impose substantial penalties and retrospective trophy removal being considered as a possible sanction. Andy Robertson, the Scotland captain and former Liverpool defender, has commented on the verdict, arguing that the players should not face consequences for the club's administrative actions.

Robertson stated that the players "showed they were good enough on the pitch" and maintained that their achievements should remain intact despite the breaches committed by City's ownership. The 32-year-old, now at Tottenham, acknowledged unfamiliarity with the specific charges but defended the quality of City's squad that he regularly competed against during his nine years at Liverpool, highlighting the contrast with his former manager Jürgen Klopp's position that he would welcome trophy removal.
