‘We didn’t do enough’: Rooney rejects retrospective title award amid City case

Wayne Rooney has rejected the idea of receiving a league title retrospectively as the debate over the charges against Manchester City continues to grow.

“We didn’t do enough” was Rooney’s verdict, distancing him from calls for past honours to be reassigned if City were stripped of their titles.

The case has prompted competing reactions, with some voices backing the removal of City’s trophies and others expressing solidarity with the club.

Rooney’s stance highlights a separate question within that debate: whether taking titles away from one team should mean awarding them to another. His comments concern that possibility, rather than an announced decision to strip City of their honours.
