Don Goodman has moved to criticise Premier League clubs for protecting their own interests rather than thinking about the good of the game. It comes as top flight outfits continue to struggle to reach an agreement for EFL funding moving forwards. Clubs met earlier this month in the hope of thrashing out a new deal but they were split on a proposal that would see Championship, League One and League Two sides share a reported £900m over six years.
Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman has followed suit, taking a swipe at English football's elite for failing to consider the needs of the pyramid below them. “The bottom line is that football is quite unique,” Goodman told MOT Leeds News. “These 20 clubs are literally protecting their own interests. That’s what most people in life will do – protect their own interests. If you’ve got money and have been asked to give it away to someone else, you’ll delay.
