If City’s trophies are reassigned, football history looks very different.

The rule is simple: City’s Premier League trophies go to the actual runner-up; knockout trophies go to the finalist City defeated. This is an alternative-history convention — not an official reallocation, predicted legal remedy, or claim that these clubs would necessarily have won without City. Community Shields are excluded because participation depends on rewritten league and cup outcomes. The rigorous No-City league model remains separate and unchanged.
