The only fair punishment that would also act as a deterrent, is to strip them of all their titles during this period.

Or make them take Havertz and Mount back and refund the clubs.

Lol, that's not a deterrent at all as that has no tangible impact on the team.

The games still happened, the players got their bonuses and new contracts, the fans got their parades and merch. Who cares if a wikipedia entry gets changed?

You can never take back those moments, but it's definitely a more severe punishment than a points deduction on a season where it's likely not going to matter that much.

A points deduction would keep Chelsea out of Europe for another year and hurt them financially. What's an asterisk going to do?

Bet you won’t have this opinion when city fans sing “champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that” at the Etihad

I really doubt if Chelsea's CL wins get vacated that City's will stand...
