Premier League and EFL still to commission advice over parachute payment row

The fan-led review, chaired by Tracey Crouch, called on the Premier League and EFL to commission external advice to resolve a row over parachute payments if no agreement was reached by the end of 2021, but PA understands they have not yet done so (DCMS Handout/PA)

The Premier League and the EFL have not yet commissioned external advice to resolve their dispute over parachute payments, despite a call to do so in the fan-led review ordered by the Government.

The review panel, led by Conservative MP and former Sports Minister Tracey Crouch, published its recommendations to ensure the financial sustainability of the domestic game in November last year.
