Pep Guardiola claimed that he is more likely to remain Manchester City manager if they are relegated to League One than retaining the Champions League.
The 115 charges handed down by the Premier League earlier in the year have again been under the microscope following Everton’s 10-point deduction.
Guardiola pleaded for City’s detractors to show patience with their case amid growing criticism of the time taken over their situation, with Everton’s dealt with far quicker.
The City boss pointed out that the two cases are ‘completely different’ and can feel the thirst from rivals for the champions to be punished with relegation down to the EFL for financial breaches.
