WHAT HAPPENED?
In an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap, Levy has called on the Premier League to finally reach a verdict on the 115 charges Manchester City are facing. The club were charged with breaches of the league's financial rules in 2023 and a hearing was held from September to December of last year, but a verdict has yet to be announced. It could be announced this year, but the exact timing is unclear.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
While Levy admits it would be "unfair" of him to weigh in on another club's business, he pointedly referenced the amount of time the Premier League is spending on the case. City are, of course, part of the City Football Group and belong to a stable of clubs owned by the same group, something Levy believes is a "concern".

WHAT LEVY SAID
Levy said, in relation to City: "The process has gone on for far too long and needs to brought, for the good of the game, to conclusion."
On multi-club ownership, he added: “That’s one of the areas that has to be controlled; if you end up having clubs owned by states, I have no issue with that in principle but they can do deals with themselves and that puts them at a very competitive advantage compared to everybody else.
“That’s an area of concern.”
