- Pep Guardiola has publicly declared his complete support for Manchester City's owners , board, players, and supporters following the club being found guilty of nearly all 115 Premier League charges, including all financial charges.
- An independent commission determined that the club utilised sham contracts with commercial partners, resulting in their income being hugely overstated by over £830m across eight seasons between 2009 and 2018.
- Manchester City vehemently deny all charges, with chief executive Ferran Soriano describing the process as a Premier League conspiracy theory, and the club confirming it will appeal before Friday 2 October.
- Although exact sanctions are yet to be confirmed, potential penalties include relegation or title revocation, which could impact trophies won during Guardiola's tenure such as the 2017/18 Premier League title.
- City stated they hold a comprehensive body of “irrefutable evidence” to support their position and vowed to be relentless throughout the upcoming appeal process.
