Neville Makes Guardiola Claim Over Man City 115 Charges

Manchester United legend, Gary Neville has claimed Pep Guardiola’s achievements at Manchester City will always have a question mark following the 115 charges hanging over the club.

With their 3-1 victory over West Ham on the final day, City became the first team to win the Premier League title four seasons in a row and won their sixth title in eight years under Guardiola’s leadership.

Although the accomplishments were widely applauded, the club is currently facing charges from the Premier League for an alleged 115 financial rule violations.

According to Manchester Evening News, Neville claims that there are still some unsolved questions regarding Guardiola’s status as the greatest manager in Premier League history because of this ambiguity.

Whether he has surpassed Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary manager of Manchester United, for that honor is up for debate.

What Did Neville Say About Guardiola And Man City?

“What Pep has done, in not even a short period of time, you can’t deny that if someone put Pep top [manager in Premier League history], I wouldn’t say you’re out of order, I’d just say Sir Alex [Ferguson],” Neville said on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by SkyBet.

“If someone said Pep Guardiola was top, I wouldn’t say you’re wrong. I’m likely to go with Sir Alex [Ferguson] anyways aren’t I, and I certainly don’t want to mention the 115 charges [against Manchester City] but until that’s cleared, I think we do have to have a little bit of a ‘but’ until that’s cleared.

“You’re measuring him being the best based on his success, but his success would have been built on foundations that were rule-breaking if they are found guilty. That’s the foundation.”
