The Citizen Cast coach addresses the dispute between the casting he manages and the organization of Britain’s top competition.
The war between Manchester City and the Premier League continues. This Friday, the modifications to the APT proposed by the British competition were approved. “Clubs have approved changes to the League’s Associated Party Transactions (APT) rules. The rule changes respond to the findings of an arbitration tribunal following a legal appeal by the city to the APT system earlier this year,” the PL announced in an official statement.
This is a new blow for citizen casting, which is also under investigation for financial fair play violations. Hours after the new dispute between the league and the club, Pep Guardiola gave a press conference presenting his defense. “I said it six months ago, a year ago and when all the clubs accused us of doing something wrong. What will happen if we go down? That I will be there. I don’t know what division they’ll send us to, but next year we’ll go up, up, and back into the division. Premier League . “I knew that before and I feel that now,” the DT said.
“I read something about the situation and how we need to go down immediately. 75% of clubs want that, because I know what they do behind the scenes and that sort of thing. But I don’t live with that. I don’t live with that, I live with the four defeats, what should I do. “There are lawyers on both sides,” he added.
With this in mind, the coach is approaching his renewal with the Manchester team. His contract now runs until 2027. “I felt like I had to stay here. Of course because he wanted me for obvious reasons, for the results. We’ve known each other for a long time, but every decision I’ve made in my life has been like that, because of how I felt at the time. When I wasn’t completely convinced, I waited. In this case, I felt it was time to stay here, and that’s why. We negotiated in just two hours,” he noted.
The Spaniard also wanted to escape speculation. “Because of the weather? That’s a good question. Especially because I don’t want the next season, in September, October and November, to start again: “It’s Pep’s last year”. That was the main reason. “I don’t want to be in this position,” he explained.
On the other hand, he talked about what his years in England were like. “Honestly, I think, and I may sound a little arrogant when I say this, we deserved to continue. Thanks to what we have done in recent years, we deserve to renew the contract. I would not stay just to stay, because of the wonderful position in life we are here or because of what I have done in the past. . He deserved to extend the contract, but we have to start again, to be up to the task. Otherwise, the club will have to find a solution,” he said.
Finally, he addressed the sporting crisis of his team, which, for the first time in its career, experienced four consecutive defeats. “When you’ve been here eight or nine years, you experience every scenario and situation. You are capable of losing four games in a row. At the same time, you are capable of winning four Premier Leagues in a row. The difference is that most teams are capable of losing four times in a row in different competitions, but only one team has won four Premier Leagues in a row. Not when it happens in a single season, but in eight or nine years, both sides of the coin can happen,” said the former Barcelona coach.
