Eds, will Guardiola see out the on coming season do you think?
Lots of speculation that he may walk this summer or perhaps next - would this perhaps be to leave before the verdict/outcome is reached for the 115 charges against the Club?
Also, do you think any harsh/proper sanctions will be imposed, should a guilty verdict be reached, or simply financial penalties imposed?
Thanks in advance, I know this can be a tricky subject to navigate.
{Ed002's Note - Guardiola certainly won't be staying beyond next summer and some think he could go now. It is unrelated to the charges but a large number of them are simply noise and could be settled easily. Sitting in there are some very significant issues that will see penalties if guilt is proven.
I don't expect there will be any consideration to "title stripping" but if found guilty the potential punishments are slapped wrist (they need to clear out the charges which are simply noise and that may deal with those), fine (that could be negotiated to avoid any appeal - an option Nottingham Forest were looking to, but they were harshly treated), transfer ban (unlikely given a previous transfer ban for another club went horribly wrong for the authorities - but it is something that Everton may yet see if it looks like a third charge is likely), points deduction (if found guilty of some of the serious issues) and in theory relegation by expelling them from the Premier League if found guilty of multiple serious charges (could potentially happen but it would cause a huge problem with the EFL and the EFL clubs) or having their license cancelled completely (it has happened to Bury, Anzhi Makachkala and others over the years - but won't happen to Manchetser City).
Given Manchester City will appeal any guilty result there will not be any final conclusion until perhaps next summer.}

Can you comment Ed on any development with the 115 charges against City?
{Ed002's Note - There won't be any development for a long time. Forget everything else.

Eds, you responded to a question on the Liverpool page about clubs and spending, saying City faced questions over sponsorship deals.
My question is given the new hotel deal they have announced would appear to be a related party one, which I thought was prohibited under FFP, how are City allowed these type of deals?
The majority of the rest of clubs cannot compete and is these type of situations what FFP was not intended to stop?
{Ed002's Note - Yes there have been questions over the sponsorship - not the new hotel sponsorship which is not an issue at all.}
