He is hugely respected and feared at the PL, fought for his place at the table amongst the bigger clubs years ago and when there is a collective issue from clubs they often send him to sort as their voice.
Also I worked with the PL at Spurs v Palace last season when Palace tried to get the game called off for 2 covid cases, Levy wanted the game to go ahead, as he should, so with the threat of the game being called off because Palace were refusing to leave the team hotel he made sure the ground was open and all staff arrived at 10am still and threaten to send both the PL and Palace the invoice for all operational costs for the day, low and behold the PL forced Palace to turn up
For all his faults he fights tooth and nail for the club
