Rio Ferdinand jokes that he wants Joleon Lescott's 2011/12 Premier League medal HAND DELIVERED if Manchester City are stripped of their titles after Manchester United lost out to their rivals on goal difference

Rio Ferdinand has joked that he wants Joleon Lescott's 2012 Premier League winners medal hand delivered if Manchester City are stripped of their titles amid an investigation into their finances.

City could face a heavy points deduction after they were charged with 115 breaches of the Premier League's financial rules regarding sponsors and contracts across a nine-year time span in February.

Everton were handed the harshest points deduction in the history of the English top flight last week for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules, which plunged them into 19th in the table.
