EFL clubs are set to do battle at a meeting on Thursday to discuss the Premier League's bailout package.
Rows are brewing over controversial 'monitored grants' some fear will challenge the integrity of the game, and over how £15million aimed at covering lost gate receipts is distributed.
As part of the wider £250m agreement with the Premier League in the wake of the financially crippling pandemic, sides in Leagues One and Two can apply for handouts from a £20m 'monitored grant' fund which will be based on need.
Those who ask for assistance will need to show that without a cash injection — which could be up to a seven-figure sum — they would be in danger of going out of business.
