The proposals have provoked outrage at many
Premier League sides, but struggling EFL clubs are taking a pragmatic approach
The day after the story broke
Liverpool appeared to accept the plan they have co-conceived will need some refinement. They are understood to be prepared for a robust debate on the proposals, bracing themselves in particular for a battle around the plan for nine clubs to receive preferential voting rights. There is an expectation at Anfield that the leaked blueprint for football’s future will not be the final version; whether that is enough to dampen the anger of other clubs in the division, and beyond, and get everyone amicably around the table remains to be seen.
Manchester United are understood by sources closely involved in the proposal to have a similar outlook.
