Manchester City expect to find out the verdict on their charges in the next month - and manager Pep Guardiola can't wait to talk about it. Guardiola has defended the club from the start, insisting that he would remain in charge even if they were expelled down the divisions - the club have vehemently denied any wrongdoing throughout the saga.

Guardiola has also insisted that any opinions on the hearing be saved until after the facts have been established. "In one month I think there will be a verdict and a sentence and after we will see my opinion of what happened so far," Guardiola said.

"Still, at the end, every club can do whatever they want. Because in the last 10 years we are third [for net spend], but in the last five even with what we won we are behind the top six teams so I’m sorry for the comments and that is why I don't agree.

"In the last five years, we are the last team in the top six for net spend. Even after what we have spent in this transfer window, we are away from Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Tottenham. Even from Liverpool. The only reason why is we sell a lot in the last seasons but even with that I know this club, it is always ‘just about the money."
