Manchester City is currently embroiled in one of the biggest legal battles in English football—the case involving 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP). However, manager Pep Guardiola believes the resolution is now within sight.
Details: Guardiola stated that a verdict will be reached within a month, meaning no later than early March. The Spaniard remains convinced that the club has done nothing wrong.
Quote: "In a month, I think the verdict and ruling will be delivered. After that, we will know my opinion on what has happened so far. My words will not convince people. I know that in this club, they always talk about ‘just money.’
But over the last five years, we have ranked last in net spending among the top six clubs. Even after what we spent in this transfer window, we are behind Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham. Even behind Liverpool. The only reason is that we have sold a lot of players in recent seasons," said Guardiola.
Reminder: Many experts interpret City's aggressive activity in the winter transfer market as a sign that the club is confident it will avoid severe punishment.
