From Henry Winter on Twitter:

Premier League “unanimously voted to advance funds of £125 million to the EFL and National League as it is aware of the severe difficulties clubs throughout the football pyramid are suffering at this time”.

Premier League clubs “unanimously agreed to consult their players regarding a combination of conditional reductions and deferrals amounting to 30% of total annual remuneration”.

Premier League “is immediately committing £20m to support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerable groups during the COVID-19 pandemic”.

Premier League says “there is a combined objective for all remaining domestic league and cup matches to be played, enabling us to maintain the integrity of each competition. Any return to play will only be with the full support of Government and when medical guidance allows”.


Good to see they've sent money down the pyramid, this could be a lifesaver for some of the smaller clubs.

Also, it sounds harsh but £20 million from prem, really isn't that much?
