Comforting words of solidarity from a long-standing leader can be a great source of strength and unity at a time of crisis.

And many Manchester City fans will have felt just that after former manager Pep Guardiola posted on social media last week in response to the club being found guilty of deliberate financial rule-breaking over nine years.

To some, Guardiola’s intervention came as a surprise. After all, he is no longer in a managerial position having left City in the summer, and so was under no obligation to comment.

In the past, Guardiola – who joined City in 2016, most of the way through the 2009-18 period the charges relate to – had insisted guilty verdicts would change his relationship with the club.

He was outspoken on some matters during his time in Manchester, including Catalan independence and Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.
