Guardiola Backs City Amid Financial Guilty Verdicts

Guardiola, who left City in the summer after a trophy-laden decade, told fans: "We will get through this together." His first two seasons at the club were part of the investigated period. The Spaniard remains a close ally of chief executive Ferran Soriano, who brought him to England from Barcelona.

Manchester City maintains their innocence and plans to appeal against the decision before Friday's deadline. Former club chair David Bernstein has called for directors to quit following the guilty verdicts. h-doctor.club
