Premier League clubs 'resist EFL bailout plea for £250m to help struggling clubs as Championship owners are worth combined £32BILLION' with talks ongoing

Premier League club bosses are resisting the demand of a £250million bailout for the EFL as Championship owners are worth more than £32billion combined.

Rick Parry, chairman of the EFL, claims the Championship, League One and League Two sides need an injection of £250m to survive the financial damage cause by coronavirus and has met with Premier League chief Richard Masters to discuss a package.

But figures compiled by the Sun show the huge riches available to some below the Premier League, with Championship owners topping £32bn in value.
