Controversial Project Big Picture plans will require a major overhaul to get off the ground following fierce opposition from the Premier League’s clubs.
Currently, at least 14 of the Premier League’s 20 clubs need to vote in favour of any major proposals in order for them to be introduced.
But at least eight clubs are against PBP, underlining the major task facing Liverpool, Manchester United and EFL chairman Rick Parry, the driving forces behind the previously secret project, to gather support for their radical plans to reshape English football.


As reported yesterday, Brighton, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Sheffield United and West Brom would not back plans to reduce the size of the division to 18, one of the key proposals, under any circumstances.
