Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has expressed his belief that the investigation into Manchester City’s alleged financial breaches has been drawn out for ‘far too long’. In February 2023, the Premier League accused City of violating 115 financial fair play rules over a nine-year span from 2009 to 2017. Over two years later, a verdict is yet to be delivered.
It was recently revealed that it might be October before we hear the outcome, which could potentially undermine either the Premier League or City’s period of dominance. Their Premier League competitors have largely kept quiet since the charges were announced, but Levy has joined the short list of senior figures to publicly discuss City’s case. Since they were charged, Pep Guardiola’s team have denied any wrongdoing and maintain they possess a ‘comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence’ to back their position.
In an interview with Gary Neville for the Overlap, the Spurs chief shared his views. “I think it would be really unfair of me to talk about another club in the Premier League, all I would say is that it’s going through a process which I think has gone on for far too long,” Levy stated.
“It needs to be brought, for the good of the game, to a conclusion one way or another. It’s unfortunate that we haven’t been able to resolve things internally rather than the recourse of the lawyers, who are earning a lot of money out of this.”
