Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has demanded an immediate resolution to the more than 100 Premier League complaints made against the team for purported financial irregularities.
The Premier League has also charged City with failing to cooperate after the inquiry began in December 2018 after City was sent to an independent commission in February over alleged rule violations between 2009 and 2018.
The severity of the allegations, which the club vehemently denies, and the gravity of the consequences of a conviction lead one to believe that the case will last for many months, if not years.

Introduce me to a manager who isn’t motivated by success. I’m afraid of losing, I don’t want criticism, and I want my guys to respect me,” he continued.
Because all clubs want to defeat us, the upcoming season will be challenging. The difficulty lies there. The following season, we will defend our crown, which we have owned for a whole season.
If they want it, they must outperform us at it. However, we will congratulate them if it succeeds.
“We can lose to United in the FA Cup.” We can lose to Inter. We don’t have a Champions League, but they do, so we must try our best to stay away from it.
