Can City lose their titles?

Rooney's comments about City keeping their titles touch on a key point: the Premier League's rules. While they can impose severe penalties for financial breaches, like points deductions or hefty fines, their powers don't extend to retrospectively stripping clubs of past titles. This means City's previous victories are safe, despite the rule breaches.
