Manchester City: Pep Guardiola has 'not spent one second' talking about new Der Spiegel claims

The Manchester City manager didn't talk about the new claims about the club's financial dealings.

The new allegations were made by the German news outlet on Thursday.

The claims have the capacity to create more issues for City, who went to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn a two-year ban from the European Championship.

The club was banned from the competition after Uefa launched an investigation into leaked documents which alleged the club had inflated the value of a sponsorship deal.

While the ban was overturned, City were still heavily criticized for failing to co-operate with the investigation.

The timing of their release has more to do with trying to destabilise the reigning champion before Sunday's crucial Premier League encounter withLiverpool at City Stadium.

I can't control what comes from the outside.

I don't spend a second talking about the allegations because they are important and we have important games coming up.

The latest allegations are related to the Financial Fair Play regulations, which City feel are designed to damage the club.

In the past, he has said he trusts the hierarchy when they tell him the allegations are not true.

The City boss said that his stance was the same.

I have an opinion of what happened in the past. I support the club because I know what's going on.
