The Premier League ’s traditional ‘Big Six’ has reportedly been instructed to ‘pay up’ as part of the £130million rescue package being organised for the rest of the football pyramid. Tensions are running high in board rooms around England currently following the point deduction imposed on Everton earlier this week. The Premier League is hoping to strike a deal with the lower divisions over the wealth gap as soon as possible, with how the money is filtered down the chain a major cause for concern for many clubs that are in desperate need of more regular financial backing. A meeting between the 20 top-tier shareholders in the Premier League is set to take place on Tuesday, in what is a crucial day for clubs at all levels. According to The Telegraph, tensions are set to resurface during the meeting due to the point deduction that Everton were hit with for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules.
