We Will Get Through This Together, Says Former City Manager Guardiola

Guardiola said he stands with the club’s owners after an independent commission found 115 alleged breaches and a disguised funding scheme worth £830.69m.

  • On Tuesday, the Premier League confirmed Manchester City was found guilty of financial regulation breaches between 2009/10 and 2017/18, including a failure to cooperate with the investigation.
  • An independent commission concluded the club utilized a "disguised funding scheme" involving "sham contracts" totaling £830.69m to artificially inflate revenue and reduce costs during that period.
  • Pep Guardiola, technical advisor and global ambassador for the club, posted on Instagram Wednesday: "I want every single Manchester City fan across the world to know I am here; more than ever."
  • Labeling the verdict a "conspiracy theory" from the Premier League, chief executive Ferran Soriano announced the club intends to appeal the decision.
  • The club's trophy haul now faces increased scrutiny, with potential consequences ranging from a healthy points deduction to expulsion from the Premier League.
