Guardiola managed the club from 2016 through 2026, capturing twenty major titles, including six Premier League crowns and the 2023 UEFA Champions League. Depending on the outcome of the disciplinary proceedings, the club faces potential penalties ranging from hefty fines and point deductions to the stripping of past titles or expulsion from the Premier League.

Meanwhile, club leadership maintains its innocence and prepares a legal defense while attempting to reassure supporters concerned about the unprecedented situation. Other clubs in the division are currently exploring legal avenues regarding potential compensation as the investigation continues.
