Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his eagerness for the long-awaited hearing into the club's 115 charges related to financial irregularities, which begins on Monday. The charges, stemming from a four-year investigation, include accusations of misleading financial information between 2009 and 2018. City vehemently denies any wrongdoing, and if found guilty, could face severe penalties, including relegation and points deductions. Guardiola emphasized the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' and stated he is looking forward to a resolution. The independent commission's verdict is not expected until early next year, following a lengthy two-month hearing. The case has drawn significant scrutiny, with many in the football community, including LaLiga president Javier Tebas, calling for punishment if City is found guilty.
