EXCLUSIVE The 'farce' goes on: Premier League now considering new £200million loan for Championship clubs but there is still 'no deal on the table' for EFL teams crippled by the pandemic despite MPs reading the riot act this week

The Premier League has proposed a new £200m loan for Championship clubs as part of a bailout deal for the EFL, Sportsmail understands, but there is still no firm deal on the table for sides facing ruin due to coronavirus.

The latest move is designed to prevent second tier teams going bust, but this turn in the long-running saga has left clubs exasperated that there is no firm offer on the table.

And they are concerned that the bailout is dependent upon loans they fear they will not be able to pay back.
