After a disappointing, trophy-less season, Manchester City is looking to bounce back, but a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the club.
While Pep Guardiola has reshaped the squad with nearly £400 million in new signings, the team has also lost key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker.
The biggest distraction, however, is the 115 financial charges still hovering over the club.
A verdict on the charges, which could result in a massive points deduction or even relegation, is not expected until at least October.
This delay, coupled with questions about how quickly the new players will gel, raises doubts about City’s immediate future.
Despite the challenges, club insiders remain confident, and it would be foolish to count out a team that has won six of the last eight Premier League titles.
