Leagues must come to a safeguarding agreement sooner rather than later, say MPs
MPs say they want to hear about “every meeting, every call and every email” between the Premier League and the English Football League (EFL) over the coronavirus rescue package.

The government announced a package of funding on Thursday to support sports affected by the loss of matchday revenue over the winter, but the men’s professional game did not feature.
