Danny Mills: Taking away medals would not change what we won

Former Manchester City defender Danny Mills has assessed a possible punishment in the case concerning the club’s alleged breaches of the English Premier League’s financial rules. He believes the players would not be seriously upset if they were stripped of medals they had won.

Mills said that taking back or melting down the medals would not change the fact that the players achieved the success on the pitch. “They can melt the medal down, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t win it,” the former defender said.

The possibility of players losing their medals has been raised as one potential punishment in the case involving Manchester City’s financial rules. Mills’ comments reflect his personal view of how the club’s players might respond to such a decision; no information has been given about the players’ own reactions.
