Manchester United and Liverpool are the driving force behind the biggest changes in English football in a generation and an extraordinary overhaul of the Premier League, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.
The two clubs have worked together on a radical set of proposals, called the “Big Picture Project,” that will reshape the finances of the game. The Premier League, the world’s most lucrative sports league, would see a reduction to 18 teams and control power in the hands of the biggest clubs.

The support of the rest of the members of the so-called big six, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur is anticipated.
In a remarkable set of proposals, which will send shockwaves throughout the game, 25 per cent of the Premier League’s annual revenue will go to EFL clubs with £ 250 million paid upfront to help them weather the crisis. current. There would also be a donation of £ 100 million to support the Football Association.
