Tim Howard discusses impact of Man City charges on Cavan Sullivan's move

Summary

Cavan Sullivan, set to join Manchester City when he turns 18, is surrounded by uncertainty following an independent commission's findings against the club. The commission found City guilty of 114 out of 115 charges related to financial rules from 2009 to 2018, leading to concerns over potential punishments that could affect future player movements. Tim Howard has advised Sullivan to remain focused on his development, suggesting that whether City plays in the Premier League or Championship, there are still strong opportunities for growth. Sullivan currently plays for the Philadelphia Union and is among the league's top assist providers this season, with his team still competing for an MLS Cup Playoff spot.
