Premier League chairman Gary Hoffman has accused his EFL counterpart Rick Parry of jeopardising a bailout for the lower divisions as the top-flight's conflict with the lower divisions continued.
In an explosive letter sent to the EFL after Wednesday's meeting of the 20 Premier League clubs Hoffman claims that Parry has refused to engage in negotiations regarding the proposed bailout, due to his secret talks with Liverpool and Manchester United over Project Big Picture.
Hoffman goes on to accuse Parry of deliberately seeking to create division among the top 20 clubs, an incendiary claim that raises real questions over whether the Premier League and EFL can continue to work together.
