The Premier League confirmed last month that an independent Commission had found City guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the top-flight's financial rules over a nine-season period with the club found to have boosted its income by more than £900m.

The breaches took place between 2009 and 2018 and have led to discussion over whether City, who have appealed against the verdict and maintain their innocence, should be stripped of the trophies they won during that time.

But Johnson, who was part of the swashbuckling Liverpool side captained by Steven Gerrard and managed by Brendan Rodgers that missed out on the Premier League title to City in 2013-14 by two points, has no desire for that to happen.
