The League unanimously voted to advance funds of £125million to the EFL and National League because of the severe difficulties clubs throughout the pyramid have been suffering during the pandemic.
There are losts of articles in press from March/April saying the EFL was asking the EPL for financial help and the Premier League say on their website that they have given £125m to the EFL - so is this wrong? Or is that bloke at the select committee wrong? They have either given money or they haven't?https://www.premierleague.com/contact/faqs

The EPL had voted to advance the solidarity payments in April. Therefore the guy who answered the question was right the EFL had not asked for extra to help clubs who could fold.
A lot of stories going around about us signing Lokilo. I just hope he doesn’t turn out to be another Ben Khemis
There’s ifollow revenue too if we play behind closed doors.. ST revenue (free access to ifollow streaming would be a must) as well.And what since 69 seems to forget, all clubs will be in the same situation apart from the handful of so-called bigger teams.

YES all clubs are in the same boat but some clubs see opportunities where others see only doom and gloom. Some clubs will prepare for their stadiums for supporters to watch by offering practical solutions. Others want hand outs and gifts of cash from bottomless pits . I’ve yet to hear that football isn’t viable only that it will need time before it returns to normal . If players and clubs aren’t to just disappear off the planet then it’s the duty of every club to examine its own situation and circumstances and work with what it has . DRFC have stated they will fight on but will require supporters to dig deep in the short term with a promise to continue investing when supporters are back in our seats .
I didn’t realise Sheaf still had a year left on his contract at Arsenal.
Walker and McGowan I am not sure they have the physic and pace at our level to kick on.
Selby:Quote Walker and McGowan I am not sure they have the physic and pace at our level to kick on.That’s why I said ‘depending on funds’. I’m not sure whether young Walker is still able to play in this next season’s u18’s? We havn’t really got a reserve right back, other than Blair (if he signs). That’s not to say that I believe he’s ready for the first team - far from it, but he’s worth keeping on. With Will McGowan, I like what I see with him, but he is a bit lacking in the physicality area. His size really does count against him, but he is a great passer of the ball and he has good vision. He needs to grow another 300mm or so, to have a future.Reading the latest from DM, it’s interesting to learn that we can’t really be reducing the squad size from last season, due to what will be a very congested season. So, I think we’re in for a very busy few weeks!
