The Premier League have accused its champions of multiple breaches of financial rules and of failing to co-operate with a subsequent investigation. Should City, who strongly refute any wrongdoing, be found guilty of some of the more serious charges, they could be hit with huge financial penalties, points deductions or even relegation.

And Guardiola expects the club to have clarity in the near future. Asked if players might be hesitant to join City, he said: 'I don’t know. It’s going to happen in winter time. Pep Guardiola says Manchester City are expecting a verdict on their 130 charges this winter.

The hearing into the Premier League’s charges against City concluded earlier this month. The Premier League charged the perennial champions with 115 financial breaches, since extended to 130. 'I don’t know what’s going to happen. I know the people are expecting that but I don’t know. In February, March, [maybe] will be the sentence.'.
Amid the wrangle, Guardiola and his men must remain focused on the task at hand. They sit fifth in the Premier League table after a run of one win in 11 games and face Aston Villa at 12.30pm on Saturday. Guardiola's fresh contract - a one-year deal with a potential option to extend for a further 12 months - opens the possibility that he could manage Man City outside the top flight or with a points deduction should the club ultimately be hit with a sanction.
