Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has recently renewed his contract with the club until 2026 without any clause for relegation. The reigning Premier League champions are currently facing over 100 charges of financial wrongdoing, although they have denied all allegations. The possibility of relegation remains depending on the severity of the verdict from an independent commission.

Guardiola, having led City to numerous successes since 2016, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and the Champions League, remains committed to managing the team, even in a worst-case scenario where they might face demotion. The coach has previously expressed his willingness to stay with the club, regardless of their league status.

Social media has been abuzz with speculation surrounding the ongoing proceedings and the potential outcomes for Manchester City. Some fans are skeptical about the possibility of the club being relegated, citing their financial power and influence as factors that could shield them from severe sanctions. Others have proposed alternative forms of punishment, such as point deductions and transfer bans, to address the situation without impacting smaller clubs in the league.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the case, opinions on social media remain divided, with some questioning the fairness of the trial and others emphasizing the need for accountability and consequences if City is found guilty. Nevertheless, many are eagerly awaiting the final decision and its implications on the club's future and Guardiola's tenure as manager.
