Nothing is going right for Manchester City at the moment.
The Premier League champions have problems on and off the pitch. While their on-field form is a major concern for Pep Guardiola and the club’s owners, their off-field problems have been well documented.
The Sky Blues are facing financial charges and a verdict on their punishment could be announced soon.
The current lull could force the Premier League giants to make new signings in the January transfer window, but uncertainty over the judgment of their charges could make it a little difficult for them to sign new players.
Man City are missing several players due to injury, including Rodri, Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake. They are expected to make signings in these positions in January, but it remains to be seen whether or not they will have an easy time of it in the winter transfer window.
Guardiola was asked if the current case against Man City will make it harder for the club to sign players, to which he replied, as reported by GOAL:
“I don’t know.
“It will happen in winter. I don’t know what will happen. I know people expect that, but I don’t know. The verdict will (perhaps) be made in February or March.”
Pep Guardiola is ready to stand by Man City during this difficult time
Pep Guardiola wants to sign Premier League striker!
Man City face 115 charges, including 80 alleged breaches relating to financial misrepresentations and 35 for failing to cooperate with investigations.
These allegations relate to the period from 2009 to 2018 and accuse the club of providing false financial information, particularly regarding sponsorship income and player salaries.
The allegations have raised serious questions about the club’s financial practices during this period and, if proven, could have significant consequences.
The positive thing for Man City at the moment is that Guardiola has extended his contract at the club and no matter what punishment they face, he will lead them and do his best to get them out of the current crisis.
