Pep Guardiola has broken his silence after Manchester City were found guilty of nearly all of the 115 charges against them, reiterating his backing of the owners and the board.
An independent commission, which was appointed following a four-year investigation to rule over the charges which stretch between 2009 and 2018, ruled that the current Premier League leaders had “sham contracts” arranged for a number of its commercial partners, finding that their income over eight seasons was “hugely overstated by over £830m”.
