Salford City co-owner Gary Neville has backed aspects of Project Big Picture which has proposed to reshape the English football pyramid and called for discussions to take place over the plans.
Proposals led by the Premier League’s elite, principally Manchester United and Liverpool, first emerged on Sunday, and have the support of EFL chairman Rick Parry.
The proposals would see the 14-club majority voting rule in the top-flight scrapped in favour of nine clubs holding the power, with the established big six joined by Everton, Southampton and West Ham United as holding that right.
However, the plans have divided opinion and drawn criticism from the Premier League itself and the Government.
As part of the proposals, a rescue package of some £250m would be given to clubs in the EFL and £100m to the FA to make up for lost revenue in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
A 25% net revenue share of Premier League money would also be given to the EFL moving forward.
Other proposals include reducing the size of the Premier League from 20 to 18 clubs, with 24 each in the Championship, League One and League Two, with the League Cup and Community Shield discontinued.
Ammies co-owner and Manchester United legend Neville has reacted on Twitter to the proposals and a piece on The Guardian website which suggests the plans should not be swept aside.
And he accepts that though there are aspects which require further work, he feels there is 'too much good' in the proposals to dismiss them.
He has suggested discussions between the Premier League, EFL, the FA and the Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) over the plans.
He said: "There are parts of the proposal that require negotiation but there is too much good in this plan to dismiss it.
"Let’s get round the table please PL / EFL / FA / FSF.
"If it suits 9 PL clubs and maybe 72 EFL clubs then let’s work with the other 11."
