Manchester City’s 115 charges continue to linger without resolution as another calendar year arrives, and Pep Guardiola has offered his thoughts.
The ongoing uncertainty surrounding the club has once again resurfaced during Guardiola’s media duties, with questions over the Premier League’s investigation remaining unanswered more than a year after the charges were formally laid.
As previously reported, City have consistently denied any wrongdoing, while senior figures at the Etihad Stadium have maintained a calm, outward-facing stance amid the prolonged silence from football’s authorities.
From Pep Guardiola’s perspective, the situation has become part of the background noise that Manchester City have learned to operate within. The Catalan has repeatedly stressed that his focus, and that of his players, remains firmly on footballing matters, even as speculation around the potential outcome of the case continues to dominate wider discourse.
That approach was evident again in the days leading up to City’s eventual 0-0 draw away at Sunderland, where Pep Guardiola opted to concentrate on performance levels rather than external distractions.
Despite dropping points in the Premier League title race, Manchester City left the Stadium of Light encouraged by their second-half display, with Pep Guardiola praising control, chance creation, and the influence of returning midfielder Rodri.
Speaking to reporters, Guardiola was asked on whether he would like to see a swift resolution to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the 115 charges with another year now underway.
“It’s the same question I ask to you; I don’t know. I don’t know,” Guardiola insisted.
“Maybe you have better info than me! You don’t have? Neither. I would love to have it but I don’t know, I don’t know.”
The Manchester City manager continued, “It’s the same answer to your question, the same answer from me one, two, three years ago; they must be so busy!”
Pep Guardiola’s comments underline the sense of frustration felt not just inside the club, but across the wider football landscape, where clarity on one of the most significant cases in Premier League history remains elusive.
As previously noted in recent updates, Manchester City’s hierarchy continue to support their manager fully, reinforcing a message of internal unity regardless of the external scrutiny.
Looking ahead, the absence of resolution appears unlikely to change Manchester City’s short-term approach, with Guardiola expected to continue shielding his squad from off-field issues as attention turns to a demanding run of fixtures.
