All eyes will be on Westminster on Monday when Premier League boss Richard Masters and his EFL counterpart Rick Parry are due to be grilled by a select committee on the lack of a deal for the redistribution of funds in football.
It may well be in the top flight’s interests to find an agreement.
Speaking at a question-and-answer session at Accrington Stanley last week Rishi Sunak said that should no deal be done the incoming independent football regulator would have the power to force a solution, which may well be more favourable to the EFL than the top flight.
