Former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has spoken out against the idea of stripping Manchester City players of their achievements due to alleged financial misconduct by the club’s ownership. Robertson, currently playing for Tottenham, was en route to Slovenia with the Scotland national team when news broke that Manchester City had been found guilty of breaching the Premier League’s financial fair play rules. Financial fair play rules are designed to ensure clubs do not spend more than they earn, maintaining competitive balance in the league. The 32-year-old Scotland captain, who spent nine years at Liverpool and faced City regularly during that time, expressed surprise at the news while in Ljubljana. He emphasized that players should not be held responsible for the actions of club owners. "For me, the players showed they were good enough on the pitch," Robertson said. "I don’t think when it comes to these things that players are ever to blame. That’s all I can focus on." The potential punishment for Manchester City includes the removal of past trophies, a controversial measure that has been previously discussed in football governance. However, Robertson does not support this idea. He praised the skill and competitiveness of City’s team, which he often faced during his time at Liverpool. "They had an incredible team, one that I loved battling against," he said. Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, who previously coached Robertson, joked that he would throw a party if City’s trophies were removed. Meanwhile, Robertson is set to earn his 98th cap for Scotland in their upcoming Nations League match against Slovenia. The game will bring him closer to the national team record held by former Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish.
