Aston Villa Chief Executive, Christian Purslow believes that ‘Project Big Picture’ is more focused on a few team’s quests for power rather than modifying English game as made to believe, talkSPORTS reports.

According to him, the improvement of the game is indispensable hence the need to deliberate on possible solutions to rather than giving ‘much credence’ to a plan the seeks to satisfy the interest of a few.

“I expect there to be a very honest, transparent, open dialogue amongst the 20 Premier League clubs,” Purslow said.

“I also expect there to be concrete proposals brought forward by the Premier League executive on funding for lower levels of football, that's what I hope to see happen.

“I don't think we should give too much credence to this particular plan. I think a much broader, long-term plan for football is what I would expect to come from the Premier League.”

Project Big Picture’s proposal includes vast changes to the infrastructure of the game in England, including a reduction to 18 top-flight teams, the end of the Carabao Cup, controversial changes to voting rights and a financial settlement for the EFL.

Purslow revealed in a letter to the FA Council after walking out of a meeting when he felt the aim had become “the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few clubs, with a breakaway league mooted as a threat”.

“I, of course, discontinued my involvement and counselled a more consensus-based approach involving all Premier League clubs and its chair and CEO. Our game needs to continually seek to improve but benefits need to be shared.”

Representatives of the 20 clubs will debate on the issue on Wednesday for the first time virtually with the Football Association chairman, Greg Clarke.
