"It's the Premier League": Guardiola blame Premier League rivals for charges against Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola appears to blame Premier League rivals for the charges against his club.

The Cityzens are going through an uncertain period following an investigation from the Premier League over financial rule-breaching.

The situation has also put Pep Guardiola's position at the club in serious doubt but insisted that he has no plans to quit.

Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League with over 100 breaches of financial rules and could face serious sanctions as a consequence.

With huge uncertainty mounting over the club, Pep Guardiola has blamed Manchester City's rivals for the accusations against the Sky Blues.

The former Barcelona boss also namedropped Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy. Speaking in his pre-match press-conference ahead of Sunday's Aston Villa game, Guardiola said:

“Yeah, of course. It's the Premier League. You should go to the chairman, the CEO's, Daniel Levy, and ask them.

“It is difficult for me to answer this question. I don't know. They open a precedent right now."

The Manchester City manager has also claimed that rival clubs want the Cityzens out of the Premier League. He added:

"Be careful in the future because many clubs make suggestions and we have been accused. I can have an opinion, but what do fans think? I don't know.

"It is obvious the fans want to push us out of the competition. They believe we didn't behave properly.”
