Roy Keane believes the situation regarding Manchester City's financial charges is "pretty straightforward".
The Premier League champions are alleged to have broken 115 league rules.
But Keane feels Pep Guardiola and his players should relax and concentrate on their performances on the pitch.

Speaking on Sky Sports ahead of City's 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, Keane said: "I generally think most players I know are quite selfish... they just want to focus on the team performance.
"Obviously it's their own contract situation. From Man City's point of view, the fans will have been delighted by Pep's response in the media, he did come out fighting.
"If Man City are innocent then everyone should relax. Pep should relax, people getting uptight - Man City have got to get back to trying to win football matches.
"I think from a dressing room point of view, if you were a player there today going into this game against Villa, you're thinking all your focus would be on beating Aston Villa.
"Obviously the people upstairs take care of the politics involved.
"If they are found guilty then you have to be punished, it’s pretty straight forward.
"Pep, like he said in that piece there... he's obviously speaking to people above him - the chairman, the CEO and people that run the club - he said they've told him they're innocent, then just get on with it."
But Gary Neville believes there is going to be a "major loser" no matter what the final outcome is.
He stated: "There’s going to be a major loser here.
"The Premier League are going to be found to be incompetent if they can't land the charges and if they do land the charges it’s going to tarnish the last 10 years for many people."
On Financial Fair Play, Neville added: "It was pushed through by the established elite because they have the highest revenues and they don’t like the idea of being able to pump money into football."
He concluded on City supposedly having the highest revenue in the world: "I think where it’s become a bit unbelievable is that Manchester City have sailed above Manchester United, Real Madrid and other clubs like that on the revenue."
