MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Premier League clubs will break their silence over the much criticised proposals for major changes to the structure of England's top flight, when they meet this week amidst talk of a 'civil war' within the game.
The Football Association will also hold a scheduled council meeting on Thursday when the issue is also expected to be raised. As the governing body for English football, the FA itself holds a 'golden share' which would allow it to block major changes.
Some British media has referred to a"civil war" within the Premier League over the proposals and the UK government has criticised what it termed a"backroom deal". The proposals would give more power to the big Premier League clubs, reducing the top division from 20 teams to 18 for the 2022-23 season and scrapping the League Cup and Community Shield.
