Simon Jordan has ripped into EFL chairman Rick Parry for backing the controversial 'Project Big Picture' plans drawn up by Liverpool and Manchester United to shake-up English football.
The former Crystal Palace owner described the proposals as a 'deal with the devil' and a 'Machiavellian' scheme to consolidate power for the established Big Six to the long-term detriment of the EFL.
In response, Parry, speaking on talkSPORT, said the Premier League had 25 years to introduce a more egalitarian model that truly helped lower league clubs and denied the EFL had become the Premier League's 'poodle'.
