Pep Guardiola does not intend to leave Manchester City even if the club is relegated from the Premier League. The manager, who signed a new contract until 2026 with the club this week, spoke at his press conference ahead of Saturday’s home game of Tottenham on the subject.
City are awaiting sentencing on 115 charges of financial impropriety against the Premier League, which could include deducting so many points that the team would be relegated due to a lack of assets.
He could even be booted out directly from English football’s elite if he is found guilty of the most serious of the charges.
“I said it six months ago and nothing has changed,” Guardiola answered a question.
I don’t know where they will send us – maybe in League 2, maybe in the Conferences (amateur leagues)? But no problem – we’ll go back up, once more, once more – and we’ll still be in the Premier League.
I know that 75 percent of the clubs in the league want us to be punished as severely as possible, and I know what they are doing behind the scenes to “help” that happen.
But that’s not my big problem right now. I find the four losses in a row much more difficult and my focus is on fixing our form on the pitch.”
City are five points behind leaders Liverpool and have lost four times in a row in all competitions – twice in the league, once in the Champions League and once in the League Cup.
