"In addition to finalising the short-term financial issues, Clubs were today informed that the EFL will contribute fully in the Premier League’s strategic review to consider the future structure and financing of English football, and will hopefully have a direct and positive impact on a more sustainable EFL in the future."

So reading between the lines, the EFL will agree to let EPL U-21 sides into L2 the next time the proposal is put forward.

It's troubling, because although the Premier League are prepared to stump up, they probably want too much for it. The very first proposal the other week was probably even worse - akin to selling your soul to Satan. It put a whole new slant on Red Devils.

On that point, pressure is building.

Apparently clubs that have been handed bridging loans from the EFL to help with their wage bill, are subject to a temporary transfer embargo until it is repaid.

Nb. Mainstream media appear to be ignoring this story & i am reluctant to post a link to any "fringe" sites, but you can find it online for yourself with little effort & choose which source you personally favour.

They better not. These u21's are spoiling the EFL and the tin pot trophy thing is a joke.

Bubbling under, alongside this gesture of financial support from those "generous" Premier League clubs...

...is a spot of subtle arm-twisting, in the form of the threat of escalating behind-the-scenes campaign regarding the likelihood, scale, scope & influence of a European Super League.

I think it is getting to time for the FA, EFL & responsible broadcasters to call their bluff... tell a few of the ringleaders to bugger-off to the bloody Nou Camp & take their development squads with them...!

Hear hear, matey! Couldn't agree more. After all, we've always been told by certain ringleaders that 'the fans' want a European League and would rather have that than international football. Let them go and do it then.

Then after a few years when they get bored with it and apply to come back - say yes but start in non-league - while away no entry to cup competitions - lose all voting rights - the fans will get bored sooner as there would be no rivalry with the European teams and away travel would costly so possibly no away fans for atmosphere in the stadiums

I reckon most fans would have no issues with any of the above proposals, but little confidence that the football authorities feel strong enough to stand up to the clubs or - more pertinently - broadcasters, who provide the funds.

Be very careful of broadcast partners, I would actually contend that showing football in public houses, began the slow demise of pubs as reasonably priced places, that everyone was comfortable to visit for a night out...(?)
