Manchester City are spearheading opposition to a proposed £1.5bn 'New Deal for Football' that would redistribute money to lower-league EFL clubs over ten years. All 20 Premier League clubs vote Thursday; 14 must back it. The Premier League is 'cautiously optimistic,' per The Guardian. City lost a similar vote 19-to-1 at June's AGM.
