佩普·瓜迪奥拉在担任曼城主教练期间为球队赢得了六次英超联赛冠军。这位前主教练表示，他始终支持曼城的老板和管理层，并表示即使在曼城被认定违反英超联赛财务规定后，他也会“永远”支持这家俱乐部。
Pep Guardiola won six Premier League titles as Manchester City manager Former manager Pep Guardiola has backed Manchester City's owners and leadership and says he will "always" be behind the club after they were found guilty of all charges related to breaches of the Premier League's financial rules.
一个独立调查委员会发现，曼城与多家商业合作伙伴签订了“虚假合同”，以此掩盖超过8.3亿英镑的秘密资金交易。
An independent commission found that City arranged "sham contracts" with a number of commercial partners as part of a scheme to disguise secret funding of more than £830m.
英超联赛官方确认，曼城在2009-2010赛季至2017-2018赛季期间确实违反了多项财务规定；其中除一项指控（涉及不配合调查）外，其余所有指控都被认定为属实。
The league confirmed City have been found guilty of all charges related to breaches of financial rules between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons, and all but one in relation to failure to co-operate with the investigation.
曼城方面仍否认有任何不当行为，并有直到10月2日的期限来提出上诉。
The club continue to deny any wrongdoing and have until 2 October to submit an appeal.
瓜迪奥拉于2016年7月接任曼城主教练一职，去年夏天离任。他在社交媒体上写道：“我想让全世界每一位曼城球迷都知道：我依然在这里，而且比以往任何时候都更加坚定地支持你们。”
Guardiola took over as City manager in July 2016 before leaving last summer. "I want every single Manchester City fan across the world to know I am here; more than ever," he wrote in a social media post.
“我一直以来、现在依然、将来也永远都会支持我的俱乐部、我的老板费兰·索里亚诺、球员们、教练团队以及所有支持我们的球迷们。请相信：我们会一起度过这个难关。”
"I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran [Soriano], the players, staff, [manager] Enzo [Maresca] and you, our unique supporters. "Let me be clear: we will get through this together.
在瓜迪奥拉执教曼城的十年间，他带领球队赢得了六次英超联赛冠军（其中2020-21赛季实现了四连冠），同时还赢得了欧冠联赛冠军、三次足总杯冠军和五次联赛杯冠军。
During Guardiola's decade in charge of City, he led the club to six Premier League titles - including a record four in a row from 2020-21 - as well as the Champions League, three FA Cups and five League Cups.
在离任前，瓜迪奥拉曾表示：“即使曼城降级，我也会继续支持这家俱乐部。”
Prior to his departure, Guardiola spoke about the charges against City in November 2024 and said he "will be here" even if the club were relegated.
曼城主席哈立德·阿尔-穆巴拉克在周六的声明中表示，俱乐部有信心证明自己的清白；而首席执行官费兰·索里亚诺则在周二通过视频向全体员工和球员传达了这样的信息：调查委员会“忽视了无可辩驳的证据”。
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said in a statement on Saturday that the club is still confident of proving its innocence, while on Tuesday chief executive Ferran Soriano said in a video message, external to staff and players that "irrefutable evidence" had been "ignored" by the commission.
这家俱乐部由阿布扎比联合集团（Abu Dhabi United Group）所有，他们表示对这一有罪判决“既感到失望又感到惊讶”。
The club, which is owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, said they were "both disappointed and surprised" by the guilty verdict.
曼城为骗取英超联赛的冠军而精心策划了一系列阴谋——包括使用“虚假合同”以及伪造财务报告。在2012年塞尔吉奥·阿圭罗（Sergio Aguero）打入夺冠进球时，米卡·理查兹（Micah Richards）正在替补席上。这位前曼城后卫在接受《The Rest is Football》播客采访时表示：“读到英超联赛对俱乐部财务指控的有罪判决后，我感到非常崩溃。”
The intricate web Man City spun to con the Premier League Man City guilty of 'sham' contracts and misleading accounts Man City Q&A with Kieran Maguire & Dale Johnson Micah Richards was on the Manchester City bench when Sergio Aguero scored his title-winning goal in 2012 Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards says he felt "absolutely devastated" after reading the Premier League's "damning" guilty verdict on the club's financial charges. "The reports were troubling," he said on The Rest is Football podcast. "I saw the words which were used by the Premier League in 'sham contracts' and I felt absolutely devastated. "I was at that club since I was 14 years old, I would die for that club.
“这些报道令人担忧，”他说，“英超联赛在报告中使用了‘虚假合同’这样的措辞，我真的崩溃了。我从14岁起就效力于这家俱乐部，我为它付出了全部心血；我在曼城实现了自己的梦想。但如今听到这样的指控，不仅作为前球员的我感到心碎，球迷们所经历的痛苦更是难以承受。”理查兹曾在曼城的青训营效力，当时他和当地一家长期支持该俱乐部的家庭住在一起。
I achieved my dream at Manchester City, but then to hear these reports, and not only me as an ex-player, but the fans, what they have to go through, absolutely devastating." While Richards was part of the City's youth academy he lived in 'digs' with a local family who are long-term supporters of the club. The 38-year-old added: "My digs man, he rang me and he was literally in tears and asking me about information, which I don't know. I haven't got the answers to tell him. "That's someone who's supported the club for 60-odd years and the uncertainty around it is just heartbreaking.
这位38岁的球员补充道：“我的一位老朋友给我打了电话，他当时泪流满面，向我询问一些相关信息，但我其实并不知道答案。他支持这家俱乐部已经60多年了，如今这种不确定性实在令人心碎。对于我如此热爱的俱乐部来说，出现这样的负面报道实在令人难以接受。这些报道的措辞非常严厉、极具杀伤力……我感到悲伤、愤怒，同时也感到困惑——因为另一方面，曼城也有自己的解释和立场。”曼城在2013-14赛季赢得了他们的第二个英超冠军，最终以两分的优势超越了利物浦（Liverpool）。
"To have a headline of this nature for a club that I love so much, it's been difficult. If you listen to the reports, they are damning. "I feel saddened, I feel angry, I feel a little bit confused because, on the other side, you have City's side of the story." City won their second Premier League title in 2013-14, overtaking Liverpool during the run-in to finish two points above the Reds.
2013年退役的前利物浦后卫杰米·卡拉格表示：“我为球员们感到难过。他们几乎会觉得自己的大部分职业生涯都将被打上星号，或者很多人会称其为骗局。
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who retired in 2013, said: "I feel for the players. They'll almost feel like a lot of their career is going to have an asterisk, or a lot of people will be calling it a sham.
“球员们被告知一切都没问题。现在（曼城）高层说出来的话，简直是在煤气灯操纵。
"The players were told everything was fine. What the [City] hierarchy are coming out with now, they're just gaslighting.
“我认为那些冠军应该从他们的名单上被撤销。其他俱乐部是否会获得这些冠军可能略有不同。曼城不只伤害了自己的球员。”2013-14赛季是卡拉格长期队友史蒂文·杰拉德最接近赢得英超冠军的一次。
"I think the titles should be taken off their list. Whether other clubs get them is probably slightly different. City have not just hurt their own players." The 2013-14 season was the closest that Carragher's long-time team-mate Steven Gerrard came to winning the Premier League title.
“那些球员永远无法获得那种感觉，而它被曼城偷走了，”卡拉格在天空体育新闻中补充道。
"Those players will never get that feeling and it was robbed by Man City," Carragher added on Sky Sports News. "No-one remembers the medal.
“没人记得奖牌。归还奖杯或奖牌，没有任何意义。重要的不是奖牌，而是感受。”
Giving trophies or medals back, it doesn't mean anything. It's not about medals, it's about feelings."
