Pep Guardiola is facing accusations that have descended upon his team. For several days, Manchester City have been accused by the Premier League of more than 100 violations of the championship’s financial regulations as part of an investigation opened in the wake of Football Leaks. The structure of English football later indicated that a commission would be taken to determine the fate of the “Sky Blues”.
Presented at a press conference on Friday (February 10th) as part of Manchester City’s game against Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola answered many questions from journalists about the state of his club. “We are already doomed“The Spanish mechanic threw bitterly upstream before pointing to the behavior of the other British formations in this incident:”What happened this week is the same as at UEFA (in 2020, editor’s note). We were convicted, we had an accusation at that time. Now we only have accusations. The club proved we were completely innocent. Why shouldn’t we think we’re innocent? You have to understand that the 19 Premier League teams blamed us without giving us the opportunity to defend ourselves. My owner, my president, my CEO has been explaining everything that’s been going on for three or four years. You know exactly which side I’m on.“
While Manchester City are risking a lot, Pep Guardiola still has confidence in the future of the club with a contract until 2025:I do not know what will happen. (…) The Premier League, supported by 19 teams, will have good lawyers to defend their position, and we will defend our position. Time will determine what will happen. If we are not innocent, we will accept the decision of the judge or the Premier League.“
Meanwhile, Guardiola said that his club “innocent until proven guilty“: “I am completely convinced that we will be innocent. What will happen next? It’s the same since Abu Dhabi took over. Between 19 clubs or my team’s word, I’m sorry if I have to trust my team’s word. There are neither enemies nor friends, only interests. If we are guilty, we go to the lower divisions as before.” Thus, the Spaniard intends to show his leaders his full support: “I’m not moving from this seat. I assure you more than ever that I want to stay. More than ever. Now I want to stay here longer, I trust my people. Sometimes I wondered, but I’ve never been so sure I’d stay.“
