The English Football League could soon see a huge increase in the amount of cash that flows down from the Premier League.
At a hastily-convened shareholders meeting of top-flight clubs, set to take place on Wednesday, the Mail claims that the agreement of a new funding package is poised to be voted through.
EFL clubs and prominent figures have long been calling for not only more money but the scrapping of parachute payments, which have been deemed as being counter-productive as teams in receipt of them benefit from an obvious financial advantage. Under proposals titled 'A New Deal for Football', the Mail says the plans will be discussed and that a compromise agreement could be reached for the first time.
