Pep Guardiola has promised to open up on Manchester City’s historic hearing with the Premier League once a verdict is announced in the coming weeks.
Guardiola revealed on Friday he is expecting a resolution within a month after defending City’s £175million January spend on four new signings.
City — who deny more than 100 charges of financial impropriety spanning nine years until 2018 — have afforded their manager a much-needed refresh of the squad and are pressing ahead with a £300m redevelopment of the Etihad Stadium.
Relegation, points deductions and fines are potential punishments if the champions are found guilty by an independent panel.
