Talks regarding releasing extra cash to help the EFL and its clubs survive the coronavirus crisis are ongoing, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has said. “We all know the Premier League is a big supporter of the pyramid and we have already been able to release £200million worth of funds and made those commitments in relation to solidarity. “We’ve been able to support the women’s game and creative funds for National League clubs were announced last week. EFL chairman Rick Parry said in May that his clubs were facing a £200m financial hole by the end of September. The EFL is understood to be considering alternatives to Premier League support, amid reports it was weighing up taking out a commercial loan.
