THE Premier League’s £50 million rescue package for clubs in Leagues One and Two was “wrong on so many levels”, according to Portsmouth chief executive Mark Catlin.
The English Football League (EFL) rejected the offer, designed to assist clubs affected by the coronavirus pandemic and made up of grants and interest-free loans, after divisional meetings with its clubs on Thursday.
The EFL said the offer “fell some way short” of what was required, and that any rescue package had to include clubs in the Championship as well.
