Former Manchester City players have faced questions about their time at the club following the findings in its financial case.
Kyle Walker spoke to TalkSPORT about his time at Manchester City and the implications of the financial case.
With the 114 guilty charges looming over the head of all the achievements, the punishment has yet to be dished out but it could result with all these trophies stripped from the club.
An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of 114 charges relating to financial rule breaches, but the club has appealed the verdict and no sanction has yet been announced. Possible consequences remain uncertain.
Kyle Walker reflects on his Manchester City legacy
Walker, who left the Etihad Stadium in 2025 to join Burnley, spent eight successful seasons in Manchester, winning 15 major trophies including six Premier League titles. So him with the rest of his colleagues might all have their legacies damaged from this case.
"It's the big elephant in the room we're probably all going to be asked when doing interviews or whatever," Walker admitted on TalkSPORT.
"It doesn't look great. Let's not hide from the fact they've been found guilty but they're going through an appeal."
He added: "From the outside looking in, it doesn't look great and we have to address that."
The England right back's relationship with manager Pep Guardiola seemed to deteriorate near the end of his time there with the club shown through documentary clips of the 2 butting heads in the changing room.
The most obvious one is after a loss against Liverpool with Walker and Ruben Dias at fault for a goal. The Spaniard brought it up post match and he said "I don't know why you keep bringing my name up over anyone else" in the clip.
Kyle Walker defends his former Manchester City teammates
If the appeal fails and the Premier League opts for the nuclear option, Walker’s medal collection could disappear. But he seems to be joining the players on a united front on their innocence and not being involved on the stuff the club has done.
"As a player, all I can say is all we did is go out and play our best as a team," Walker said about his stance.
"I'll defend the players for the rest of my life, because I feel what we did and achieved in that time was incredible and probably won't be done ever again."
With the appeal still be another few months before a result is set in stone current and former players could be in turmoil on whether the stuff they lifted could be all taken away to go along with the credit of their performances.
