Guardiola, who stepped down at the end of last season after a decade in charge, posted his first reaction to the verdict on social media on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI want every single Manchester City fan across the world to know I am here; more than ever. I am, always have been, always will be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players, staff, Enzo [Maresca] and you, our unique supporters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLet me be clear: we will get through this together. I love you all,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The independent commission of the Premier League found City guilty of serious breaches of financial regulations during the 2009\/10 to 2017\/18 seasons. Among its findings were allegations involving commercial agreements that the commission described as part of a disguised funding arrangement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The findings stated in an official statement said the arrangements significantly inflated the club\u2019s reported commercial revenue. City have rejected the conclusions and maintain that they have evidence supporting their position.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The club has confirmed that it will appeal the commission\u2019s decision. City said in its response that it was \u201cdisappointed and surprised\u201d by the findings and argued that the commission\u2019s opinion contained errors of law, principle and fact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The club also maintained that it had followed due process throughout the lengthy proceedings and said it would pursue the available appeal and legal routes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Guardiola\u2019s message comes after a hugely successful spell at the Etihad Stadium. He took charge in 2016 and guided City to six Premier League titles, including four consecutive championships, as well as three FA Cups, five League Cups and the Champions League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
