The chief executive of the Premier League and chairman of the EFL will be grilled by MPs today, who want to know how they have let clubs in the lower leagues of English football reach the very brink of extinction.
Richard Masters and Rick Parry are up before the Department of Culture Media and Sport Select Committee after failing to agree a rescue plan for EFL clubs that have been financially crippled by the coronavirus pandemic.
It is more than eight months since the pandemic gripped Britain and there is still no agreed package for struggling Championship, League One and Two clubs that are heavily dependent on match day income, which has been curtailed.
