Premier League chief Richard Masters and EFL chairman Rick Parry BLASTED in Parliament for not agreeing a bailout deal for the Football League to prevent clubs from going bust

Premier League and EFL chiefs were lambasted in Parliament on Tuesday over their failure to agree a bailout deal for the Football League.

Top-flight chief executive Richard Masters and EFL chairman Rick Parry appeared before a Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS) committee where they were publicly criticised over the lack of progress in putting together a financial package to prevent clubs from going out of business due to the pandemic.

Masters was told to explain why no deal had been agreed, given financial assistance for the lower leagues was part of the reason the Premier League were allowed to return before other sports.
