- Plan includes top flight giving 25% of future TV deals to EFL
- Shake-up devised by Liverpool and Manchester United owners
Plans for the radical reform of English football, which would include sharing Premier League TV revenue with the EFL but also a concentration of power amongst the “big six” clubs, are being actively considered at the top of the game.
Known as Project Big Picture, the plans have been devised by the owners of Liverpool and Manchester United but embraced by the EFL. If agreed by the Premier League as a whole, the reforms would stave off the immediate financial crisis that threatens to swallow the game. They would also bring to an abrupt end to structures that have been in place for more than 25 years.
