Premier League clubs accused of 'empty promise' on EFL funding

Premier League clubs have been accused of making an "empty promise" about a new funding deal for the English Football League (EFL).

A meeting between clubs on Monday ended without an agreement on a 'New Deal'.

Dame Caroline Dinenage, chair of the Culture, Media and Sport committee, accused clubs of "parking the bus".

Premier League clubs were recently told that failure to reach a funding deal with the EFL would mean one being imposed on them.

"The longer this deadlock goes on, the more the stated commitment from Premier League clubs to striking a deal with the rest of the pyramid looks like nothing more than an empty promise," said Dinenage.
