According to a statement released by the Premier League, it confirmed the investigation into the club's financial activities since 2009, coinciding with Sheikh Mansour's takeover of the club, had taken four years, as noted by Guardian.

According to 90min, the club was accused of failing to comply with regulations and disrupting activities since 2018.

The findings will now be submitted to an independent commission for consideration.

Guardiola threatens to quit City

An old comment of Guardiola from 2022 on the investigation into City's breach of FFP has resurfaced.

The statement, as quoted by Mirror UK, had the Spaniard saying he would quit if he found out the club bosses had lied to him.

“If I defend the people and the club, it’s because I work with them. When I asked about suspicions or if our people have done something, then I say to them, ‘tell me'," he said.

Guardiola was further quoted as saying that if he was lied to, the next day he would be out and the person who had lied would no longer be his friend.

“But I look at them and believe them 100 per cent from day one. So I defend the club because of that,” he added.

As reported by Goal, Guardiola threatened to walk away from his City contract earlier this year, if he was to feel he could not get the best out of his players.

Guardiola gives excuses for City loss

Sports Brief earlier reported on Guardiola making excuses for City's loss to Tottanham, as they lost their grip on the Premier League title race.

The Spaniard blamed the loss on the four-hour journey to London, while Spurs won without seasoned manager, Antonio Conte, who is recuperating after surgery.

Some likened his comments to that of Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp, with others believing Guardiola has simply started losing his famous touch.
