SHADOW OVER THE DYNASTY: Pep betrayed as guilty verdict leaves City’s golden era forever tarnished

Pep Guardiola stood by Man City’s hierarchy—now a guilty verdict means his modern empire will forever be clouded by an ast risk.

Pep Guardiola is facing fresh questions over Manchester City’s era of dominance after the club was found guilty of almost all Premier League charges relating to financial breaches, according to a report by Daily Mail. Guardiola had previously maintained his belief that City were innocent and reportedly used the sense of injustice surrounding the case as motivation for his players.

The verdict could now create an uncomfortable situation for the manager, with renewed scrutiny likely to fall on the circumstances surrounding City’s success during his reign. The report suggests Guardiola may have difficult questions to address with the club’s hierarchy as the consequences of the ruling continue to emerge.
