English Premier League (EPL) has not supported the idea of two clubs to reduce the number of participants, reported on the tournament website.
Champion Liverpool and Manchester United offered 18 instead of the current 20 in the Premier League. The Premier League leadership has stated that these intentions will not be supported.
At the regular meeting, the shareholders of the PPA have agreed on a development strategy, as well as the establishment of a competitive football pyramid.
In mid-March, when the sport stopped worldwide due to the spread of the coronavirus Covid-19, one of the options was that the Premier League could be expanded to 22 teams. This would mean that none of the 2019/2020. The teams of the 2007 season would not lose their place in the English football elite, but would be joined by the two best “Championship” teams.
This could happen if the season was not over. However, in the summer, all the transferred games were played, with Liverpool becoming the Premier League champion. United, in turn, finished in third place.
