A plan to use Premier League cash to help lower league football clubs stay afloat during the coronavirus crisis could be finalised this week, the Culture Secretary said today.
Oliver Dowden said the Premier League 'needs to start by looking after the football family as a whole' and that it is having 'productive conversations' with the English Football League about how it can help.
Mr Dowden said he is 'hopeful' that the two sides will 'reach a deal this coming week' on how the top division can help smaller teams to survive.
