Premier League clubs reject Project Big Picture plans led by Manchester United and Liverpool during emergency meeting as top-flight sides agree to 'undertake a strategy review instead of agreeing to major shake up'

Premier League clubs have reportedly rejected the Project Big Picture proposals during an emergency meeting on Wednesday.

The top flight met to discuss the radical plans for a shake up of English football for the first time via video conference on Wednesday.

But the 20 clubs agreed to a 'strategy review' and to make a 'new bailout offer to the EFL'.

Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as EFL chairman Rick Parry, are behind a radical restructure to English football that would bring increased funding for the EFL, reduce the top flight from 20 to 18 and scrap the Carabao Cup among other things.
