Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United are behind plans for English football reform
LONDON – New proposals backed by Liverpool and Manchester United for wide-ranging reform of English football have been criticised by the UK government, Premier League and fans’ groups.
The so-called “Project Big Picture” has been labelled a “power grab” by the Premier League’s biggest and wealthiest clubs, taking advantage of the dire financial position of the English Football League (EFL) — which comprises the three divisions directly beneath the top flight — amid the coronavirus crisis.
But many in the EFL, including chairman Rick Parry, back the plan as a means of addressing the imbalance in resources between the top and bottom of the football pyramid.
