The BBC is reporting that there isn’t currently a push from the Premier League or the majority of its current members for trophies Man City won between 2009 and 2018 to be handed out to others retrospectively.Those are the years, although still not officially confirmed, that City have been found guilty of the majority of their charges for financial rule breaches, according to The Athletic.During that time, three titles, three League Cups and one FA Cup were lifted at the Etihad.One of several possible punishments could be to strip the club of all that silverware.It’s less likely that retrospective winners are named because that process could prove messy and harm the integrity of English football further.Will Arsenal be awarded trophies after Manchester City guilty verdict?Let’s, for fun, though, say the EFL wanted definitive winners of the 2018 Carabao Cup.That means Mr Wenger could have another medal in the post – and it would be the one missing from his English domestic set.Could Arsenal somehow become 2018 League Cup winners?Arsenal lost that final 3-0, but what about the sides knocked out by Pep Guardiola in the earlier rounds?Those in question would be West Brom, Wolves, Leicester and Bristol City.Now, no one would expect a whole tournament to be replayed. It’s more likely owners would see if they were legally entitled to compensation, arguing they were denied the chance of prize money due to an unfair sporting disadvantage.How much Arsenal can claim in compensation from Manchester City.Few will go to too much legal trouble to fight over a League Cup from nine years ago, but for fun, let’s get creative…Have them say the winner of West Brom vs Wolves faces the victor of Leicester vs Bristol City – ties could be over two legs if you wanted.The winner of that could face the Gunners at Wembley.If it is argued that Arsenal shouldn’t be in the final, an alternative is a five-team league table where each plays each other once or twice.If you sensed the public, or even current managers and players, didn’t have the appetite, you could host all matches at a neutral venue over the summer.This could be part of a pre-season where everyone flies around the world for friendlies anyway, so I’m sure a country would pay to host a mini competition?All money could be donated to charity.(Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)Imagine Wenger back in the dugoutWould the current squads be motivated to play for an honour that belongs to their peers from nearly a decade ago?What could be unique is that a Saka or Rice is not just playing for their own medal collection but also to earn a medal for the class of 2018.The closest you might get to creating fairness is having those players from that era reunite.Throughout the season, charities run legends games between ex-professionals, so this could be no different.Sometimes there are agreed restrictions, like a five-a-side pitch or shorter halves.This would be perfect for sponsors and advertisers. You could rent out an arena for a weekend and have all five teams play each other.A bit like Masters Football.I think Gooners would be more interested in seeing Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere coming out of retirement to win an event where money is made for a good cause than simply being told we are now the 2018 League Cup winners.If Mr Wenger was in the dugout, that would be your romantic selling point.In reality, Man City will appeal any sanctions and pay some of the best lawyers in the world to drag this out for another year.Fun to think about, though?Dan SmithWould you watch a legends-style tournament to decide who should inherit the 2018 League Cup – especially if it meant Arsene Wenger returning to the dugout with some of his former Gunners?
