'We will get through this together' - Guardiola

[Getty Images] Former Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has posted a message on social media following the news of his former club being found guilty of financial breaches . Guardiola said in the post : "I want every single Manchester City fan across the world to know I am here; more than ever," "I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran [Soriano], the players, staff, Enzo [Maresca] and you, our unique supporters. "Let me be clear: we will get through this together." He signed off with "I love you all" alongside a blue heart. Guardiola led City to 17 major trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League victory, during his 10-year reign at the club. Among reaction elsewhere, ex-City defender and academy graduate Micah Richards said 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. 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."
