Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has pledged his loyalty to the club, stating that he would stay even if they faced relegation to League One amid potential repercussions for breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. The treble-winners are currently under investigation, with reports suggesting a possible four-year timeline for the conclusion of the probe.

Following Everton’s recent 10-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules, Premier League officials may expedite a decision on City’s punishment, which could include relegation. Guardiola addressed the situation, emphasizing the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven. Despite the uncertainty and potential demotion, he affirmed his commitment to Manchester City.

The manager’s recent stance contrasts with his initial comments in February, where he stressed the importance of the club operating with integrity. Chelsea, another club under scrutiny for FFP breaches during the Abramovich era, is also awaiting potential sanctions, hoping a new regime will shield them from severe penalties.
