Preston North End Director Urges Financial Sustainability in English Football

Peter Ridsdale an executive director at Preston North End emphasizes the need for English football to remain financially competitive and sustainable to thrive. Despite recent meetings between Premier League and English Football League (EFL) clubs no funding deal has been agreed upon.

Ridsdale expresses frustration at the lack of progress highlighting the disparity in resources between Premier League and EFL clubs particularly concerning parachute payments for relegated teams. He stresses the importance of addressing these issues to maintain a healthy football pyramid.

Dame Caroline Dinenage criticizes top-flight clubs for not delivering on promised proposals echoing Ridsdale’s concerns about sustainability. The focus remains on achieving a fair distribution of funds to ensure the viability of all football clubs in England.
