EFL clubs discuss proposed £1.8bn funding deal with Premier League
Championship clubs met at the English Football League’s headquarters in Paddington to discuss a proposed funding deal with the Premier League.
The offer would provide an extra £1.8bn over 10 years.
The EFL wants 75 per cent of the money to go to the Championship, 15 per cent to League One and 10 per cent to League Two.
The current split is 80 per cent, 12 per cent and 8 per cent, respectively.
No final decisions were made at the meeting.
The proposed split matters because it would change how money is shared among the three divisions.
The Independent Football Regulator was due to release its State of the Game report on Tuesday, ahead of which the EFL said discussions appeared to be moving in the right direction.
