Premier League chief executive Richard Masters remains under pressure for his handling of the Newcastle takeover, with numerous clubs still angry at being kept in the dark.
Sportsmail has learned that Burnley owner Alan Pace questioned whether the other 19 clubs could have confidence in the Premier League at Tuesday’s emergency meeting.
The meeting was called to explain the £305million Saudi Arabia-funded buy-out, which was rushed through without the rest of the top flight being informed.
Pace is a newcomer to the Premier League, with his ALK Capital Investment Group buying Burnley just last January, so the strength of his intervention took many at the meeting by surprise.
