Reports of plans to launch a European Premier League involving Liverpool and Manchester United are 'the last nail in the coffin of the idea that football can be relied upon to regulate itself', a leading fans' group has said.
The Premier League giants are reportedly involved in talks over the creation of a new competition, which it is claimed has the backing of the sport's world governing body FIFA.
The news comes just over a week after Project Big Picture proposals emerged, which were developed by Liverpool and Manchester United and publicly endorsed by EFL chairman Rick Parry.
