Some good in the MUFC/LFC/Parry plan (£250m to EFL, £100m to FA) but let’s be quite clear: it’s a blatant power grab, allows the big 6 to run English football and will lead to a European Super League.
An understandably angry @premierleague hits back: “A number of the individual proposals in the plan could have a damaging impact on the whole game and we are disappointed to see that Rick Parry, Chair of the EFL, has given his support.... 
FSA expresses "grave concerns" with Operation Power Grab. "Once again it appears that big decisions in football are apparently being stitched up behind our backs by billionaire club owners who continue to treat football as their personal fiefdom....1/2
..."football is far more than a business to be carved up; it is part of our communities and our heritage, and football fans are its life-blood. As football’s most important stakeholders, it is crucial that fans are consulted and involved in the game’s decision-making." 2/2
Rick Parry: “Through this proposed restructuring we aim to strengthen those who need it most at a time when they need it most. This is a blueprint for the future of English football and for everyone who cherishes it.” Actually, it leaves English football being run by six owners.
