EFL looks to independent regulator to break Premier League impasse
Board said it is ‘more important than ever’ to force through dealEFL ‘disappointed at [clubs’] failure to put forward new offer’
The EFL has said it is “eagerly” anticipating the introduction of an independent regulator for English football after it lamented the “repeated failure” of the Premier League to strike a deal on financial redistribution.
This week the Premier League was unable to carry its clubs to support a measure that proposed sharing more than £900m across the football pyramid. On Thursday the EFL board met to discuss its response, and concluded it was “more important than ever” that the proposed regulator had the power to force through a deal.
