<p>Football clubs are often the bedrock of our local communities and it is vital they
are protected. That is why the Government has provided an unprecedented financial
support package for businesses, which many football clubs have benefitted from.</p><p>We

vital broadcasting revenue. Having spent heavily in the recent transfer window, professional
football has the means to support clubs through the pandemic and we continue to urge
the EFL and Premier League to finalise a deal as soon as possible.</p><p><strong><p><p></strong></p>
