The English Football League (EFL) said on Wednesday that it was hoping for much-needed reforms in the distribution of wealth in the domestic league after six Premier League clubs abandoned the European Super League plan.
Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur - all six Premier League clubs withdrew within hours of each other on Tuesday after retaliating against the plans.
Andrea Agnelli, founder of the Breakaway Super League and chairman of Juventus, said on Wednesday that the plan could not go ahead after the English club's withdrawal.
The EFL, the governing body of the three divisions under the Premier League, has welcomed the decision.
"The European Super League failed due to a distorted and unfair financial distribution model, a critique that can be equated to the current financial model in our own domestic game," the EFL said in a statement.
"The EFL hopes that the same incentive can be immediately directed to the appropriate and much-needed change in the distribution of wealth in our domestic league and that we work with all parties to make this reform possible. Will
"By economic resettlement, we can support all clubs in promoting the principles of achieving a sustainable future for which so many people have struggled."
The EFL said it should also consider expanding the UEFA Champions League, which starts in 2024, to reform the English domestic game, saying it poses an "existential threat" to competitions such as the League Cup. Û”
The EFL will accept the government-led review and confirm that we will do our utmost to help shape any decision and ensure that it is in the best interests of the supporters and the clubs we represent. "
