The culture secretary Oliver Dowden has expressed a dim view about Project Big Picture talks involving Liverpool, Manchester United and EFL chairman Rick Parry, describing it as 'Project Power Grab'.
The plans to change the face of English football have received plenty of attention this week, with the Government weighing in against the proposals.
'I've made clear my scepticism and concern about this,' Dowden said on Wednesday.
He went on to add that the provisions within Project Big Picture 'tended towards a closed shop' in favour of the big six.
