What happens to the 2009 and 2011 UCL titles if the accused club receives Calciopoli-style punishment?

Question

Just a hypothetical question.

If the club accused in the Negreira case eventually receives Calciopoli-style sporting sanctions, would the 2009 and 2011 Champions League titles be stripped?

If so, would Manchester United be awarded those titles as the runners-up, or would UEFA leave them vacant?

What would be the impact on:

Manchester United's legacy?
Revenue or prize money?
UEFA's precedent for handling cases like this?

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
