EFL clubs have rejected the Premier League’s proposed £50million rescue package for League One and League Two, but the PA news agency understands the offer is still on the table.

A loans and grants package to clubs in the bottom two divisions of the EFL struggling without matchday income due to coronavirus was put forward at a Premier League shareholders’ meeting after Project Big Picture was dismissed.
