Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will accept the independent commission’s verdict on the 115 alleged breaches of financial regulations brought against the club by the Premier League, with the City manager insisting the upcoming hearing will not affect his players’ form.
City deny any wrongdoing in regards to the charges, which date back to 2009 and were brought against the champions in February 2023. The case is finally set to be heard this autumn. “I am happy that it starts soon and hopefully it will finish soon,” said Guardiola. “For the benefit of all of us, especially the club but also other Premier League clubs and all the people who don’t wait for the sentence.
