Greg Clarke insists ‘benefits need to be shared’Game needs ‘a more consensus‑based approach’The
Football Association chairman, Greg Clarke, has emphatically criticised the Project Big Picture proposals developed by
Liverpool,
Manchester United and the EFL chairman, Rick Parry, saying their aim is a move for more wealth and power by the top clubs.
In a letter to the FA council, which the FA published on its website, Clarke said he had been involved in early stages of the discussions but had pulled out because he strongly disapproved of the clubs’ moves to assert control. The proposals, leaked on Sunday, seek to concentrate
Premier League voting rights in the hands of only nine clubs – the “big six” and three other “long‑term shareholder” members, West Ham, Southampton and Everton – but six of those nine clubs would carry a vote.
