A meeting between Premier League clubs has ended without an agreement on a ‘New Deal’ for English Football League -EFL funding.
Top-flight clubs were last month told that failure to reach a funding deal with the EFL would mean one being imposed on them.
The Premier League said in a statement its clubs had agreed to introduce a new competition-wide financial system. It said that progress on a deal with the EFL was subject to the new system being approved by clubs.
It had been expected the Premier League would emerge from the meeting with tangible proposals to put forward to the EFL. But despite a willingness to reach a deal it has remained elusive amid continuing issues over how an overall package would be paid for.
