It is truly damning to look at the sliding doors moments of what City cost other clubs across two decades.
For all of their rivals, they would all without doubt be in a better position today without City's cheating:
Manchester United, three Premier League titles, an FA Cup & 1x Champions League qualification. Still disastrous ownership, but no title drought.
Liverpool, three Premier League titles, an EFL Cup & 1x Champions League qualification. Jurgen Klopp & his team would have a far different legacy.
Arsenal, two Premier League titles, two EFL Cups, 3x Champions League qualifications. How much might Arteta's team have achieved than they already have?
Tottenham, an EFL Cup & 5x Champions League qualifications. Would they still be in the plight they are now with those chances to establish themselves?
Villa's first domestic trophy since 1996.
Stoke's first since 1972.
Sunderland's first since 1973.
Watford's first in their HISTORY.
Everton missed CL qualification because of them. So did Bournemouth. Leicester not once, but twice.
Then there's relegations. Are Leicester in League One now without them? How many others?
Nothing can fix the damage they've caused.

I'll never understand the concept of supporting another team. United could get relegated and make my head pop, but I'll still watch them the very next game with my united top on
