The technician of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, would like the alleged financial charges against the club to be addressed “as soon as possible”. City, which secured its fifth league title in six seasons under Guardiola last weekend, was charged by the Premier League in February with more than 100 alleged breaches of the league’s financial rules between 2009 and 2018.
They were also accused of not cooperating with the investigation since it began in December 2018. The club, for its part, have denied any wrongdoing. “What I would like is for the Premier League and the judges to be able to do something as soon as possible,” Guardiola told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s trip to sixth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion.
“So if we’ve done something wrong, everyone will know it and if we’re like we’ve been as a club for many years and we’ve done things the right way, then people will stop talking about it. We’d love it to be tomorrow. This afternoon better than tomorrow.”
City, which was acquired by Abu Dhabi-based City Football Group in 2008, is alleged to have breached rules relating to providing accurate financial information, “particularly with regard to its revenue… and its operating costs “.
“Hopefully they are not so busy and the judges can see both sides and decide what is best, because in the end I know that what we won we won on the field and we have no doubts,” Guardiola said. “Come on. Don’t wait two years. Why don’t we do it faster? In 24 hours, sit down with the lawyers present. Let’s do it as soon as possible for the benefit of all.”
He wants to stay at the club next season
Guardiola, who has a contract until 2025, has no plans to leave the club. “I’ll stay next season as long as there are 110 violations against us,” he said. “I would like to continue here next season regardless of the result (of the Champions League final). I don’t know what it will be like to win or lose, but my feeling is that I have a contract and I want to respect the club.”
City will face Inter Milan on June 10 after facing Manchester United in the FA Cup final on June 3.
