Earlier this month, Pep Guardiola said it was “impossible” for him to consider leaving [A|Manchester City|2683452788] amid the club’s lacklustre form. 
“I would not be able to sleep – even worse than now – if I thought I was leaving when the club is in this situation,” he said ahead of the Manchester derby. City’s subsequent losses to [A|Manchester United|1660430038] and Aston Villa have perhaps further cemented his future at the [A|Etihad Stadium|3742531481] . 
There seems little value and nuance in conversations suggesting he may resign. It has only been a month since the Catalan inked a new two-year deal with the club.

"They can sack me. That can happen if we continue like this,” Guardiola suggested in his pre-derby interview. In theory, true, but in reality - to borrow his own phrase - impossible.

Bookmakers including him in the sack race odds can be ignored. If any manager has banked enough credit to have an off season, it is Guardiola with his haul of 19 trophies, including six [A|Premier League|996493197] titles and a [A|Champions League|1134301008] . 
In relative terms, this season is looking catastrophic for City, but that only pays testament to the stratospheric levels he has taken the club to during his tenure. Being seventh at [A|Christmas|3091388231] would count as a good start for most clubs outside of the top six. 
The only way Guardiola leaves is on his own accord. Of course, this season is set to be a defining one for the club itself amid the battle with the Premier League regarding those financial allegations, whichever verdict lands.

Would an adverse outcome cause Guardiola to rethink his future? Well, the coach provided a rather emphatic answer to this question a month ago.

“Absolutely I will not consider my future (if) it depends being here or being in League One,” he replied regarding a possible relegation sanction should City be found guilty of gross finance breaches.

“Absolutely. There is more chance to stay if we are in League One than if we were in the Champions League."

Guardiola has been a staunch defender of the Blues amid the 100-plus charges of financial wrongdoing, which the club denies in full. He’s often gone on the offensive as well.

He added last month: "At the moment we are innocent until it is proved we are guilty. I know the people want it. I know, I feel it. I will wait. Wait and see it and after the sentence has been done we will come here and explain it.”

Having started in September, the hearing for the case has now concluded with the commission now retiring to deliberate and publish its verdict in early 2025. The club and the Premier League can appeal the initial outcome.

If either party does so, this would push the ultimate conclusion back a number of months and perhaps past the end of the season. The reality is that Guardiola looks to be staying either way.

                    [1] => [A|Sport|119480488] Pep Guardiola has told Man City resignation decision over 115 charges verdict as hearing concludes
                    [2] => Pep Guardiola has made his stance on staying at Manchester City if the club are found guilty of severe financial breaches very clear.
                    [3] => [I|Pep Guardiola recently signed a new two-year deal with Manchester City|1981433040}]
                    [4] => Pep Guardiola recently signed a new two-year deal with Manchester City (Image: Shaun Botterill/Getty Image) 
                    [5] => Earlier this month, Pep Guardiola said it was “impossible” for him to consider leaving [A|Manchester City|2683452788] amid the club’s lacklustre form.
                    [6] => “I would not be able to sleep – even worse than now – if I thought I was leaving when the club is in this situation,” he said ahead of the Manchester derby.
                    [7] => City’s subsequent losses to [A|Manchester United|1660430038] and Aston Villa have perhaps further cemented his future at the [A|Etihad Stadium|3742531481] .
                    [8] => It has only been a month since the Catalan inked a new two-year deal with the club.
                    [9] => That can happen if we continue like this,” Guardiola suggested in his pre-derby interview.
                    [10] => In theory, true, but in reality - to borrow his own phrase - impossible.
                    [11] => If any manager has banked enough credit to have an off season, it is Guardiola with his haul of 19 trophies, including six [A|Premier League|996493197] titles and a [A|Champions League|1134301008] .
                    [12] => In relative terms, this season is looking catastrophic for City, but that only pays testament to the stratospheric levels he has taken the club to during his tenure.
                    [13] => Being seventh at [A|Christmas|3091388231] would count as a good start for most clubs outside of the top six.
                    [14] => The only way Guardiola leaves is on his own accord.
                    [15] => Of course, this season is set to be a defining one for the club itself amid the battle with the Premier League regarding those financial allegations, whichever verdict lands.
                    [16] => Would an adverse outcome cause Guardiola to rethink his future?
                    [17] => “Absolutely I will not consider my future (if) it depends being here or being in League One,” he replied regarding a possible relegation sanction should City be found guilty of gross finance breaches.
                    [18] => Guardiola has been a staunch defender of the Blues amid the 100-plus charges of financial wrongdoing, which the club denies in full.
                    [19] => He’s often gone on the offensive as well.
                    [20] => He added last month: "At the moment we are innocent until it is proved we are guilty.
                    [21] => Wait and see it and after the sentence has been done we will come here and explain it.”
                    [22] => Having started in September, the hearing for the case has now concluded with the commission now retiring to deliberate and publish its verdict in early 2025.
                    [23] => If either party does so, this would push the ultimate conclusion back a number of months and perhaps past the end of the season.
                    [24] => The reality is that Guardiola looks to be staying either way.

                )

            [summarize] => The statement refers to a recent development involving Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City Football Club, and the club's response to a verdict related to 115 charges. 

Here's a breakdown:

1. **115 charges**: Manchester City was facing 115 charges related to alleged breaches of financial fair play regulations and other rules set by the Premier League. These charges were related to the club's financial dealings, including sponsorship deals and player contracts, over a period of several years.

2. **Hearing concludes**: The hearing into these charges has concluded, and a verdict has been delivered. The specifics of the verdict are not mentioned in the statement, but it implies that the outcome has significant implications for the club.

3. **Pep Guardiola's resignation decision**: In response to the verdict, Pep Guardiola, the highly successful manager of Manchester City, has been reported to have made a decision regarding his potential resignation. The nature of this decision (whether he will resign or not) is not specified in the statement, but it suggests that Guardiola's future at the club may be uncertain due to the outcome of the hearing.

The context suggests that the verdict could have significant consequences for Manchester City, potentially including points deductions, fines, or even expulsion from the Premier League. As the manager, Pep Guardiola's decision on whether to stay with the club or resign could be influenced by the severity of the penalties imposed and the potential impact on the team's competitiveness and reputation.
