- League executives held big-six meeting without telling all clubs
- League chairman had copy of plans but did not inform other 14
The Premier League chairman and chief executive held a meeting with just the big six clubs to discuss the fallout from the publication of the Project Big Picture proposals without informing all 14 other clubs, the Guardian has learned.
The meeting – held by the chairman, Gary Hoffman, and the chief executive, Richard Masters, with senior representatives of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs – was held on Tuesday 13 October, two days after the plans were published in the Telegraph, and a day before a scheduled meeting of all Premier League clubs.
