Pep Guardiola has stated he is a “big fan” of financial fair play and that clubs who break its rules must be punished, despite Manchester City facing more than 100 charges of contravening the Premier League’s regulations.
After Everton were deducted 10 points for a single breach of the league’s profit and sustainability rules, there has been speculation that if City’s charges are proven they may face more serious action, including relegation. City deny wrongdoing and Guardiola said on Friday he would not walk out on his contract, which runs to the end of next season, even if they were demoted to League One.
