Premier League at WAR: Fury over Big Six power grab by elite clubs that want to whittle top flight down to 18 teams as part of 'Project Big Picture' The Premier League descended into civil war on Sunday following the emergence of secret plans for a radical restructure of the top flight hatched by John W Henry (left)'s Liverpool and Manchester United, owned by the Glazers (right). On an extraordinary day, the Premier League executive also launched a scathing attack on EFL chairman Rick Parry for supporting Project Big Picture, which would cut the division to 18 clubs, restrict relegation and give the Big Six unfettered power to make further changes. The Government condemned those involved for indulging in a 'backroom deal that would create a closed shop at the top of the game'.
