LEAGUE ASKED CLUBS TO PRIORITIZE NEW FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT
The decision came after the required majority of 14 clubs was not reached which resulted in the scrapping of the planned vote.
The league thus convinced the clubs to make the new financial system a priority at the shareholders’ meeting on Monday, sources said.
“Premier League clubs also re-confirmed their commitment to securing a sustainably funded financial agreement with the EFL (English Football League), subject to the new financial system being formally approved by clubs,” the league said.
BRITISH GOVT WARNED TOP ENGLISH CLUBS ON NEW DEAL

Both the clubs and the league have also assured their commitment to the wider game, which includes a £1.6 billion ($2.05 billion) budget.
This budget, the league said, will be distributed to all levels of football across the present three-year cycle.
