We're much more dependent upon the revenue and atmosphere generated by crowds than the Premier League." "The Premier League is aware of our position on that," he stated, going on to suggest "lawyers are going to get wealthy" if the Premier League opted not to relegate three teams. Rescue package for EFL clubsParry said he "completely agreed" that a rescue package would now be needed to help support EFL clubs.
