Without finance some clubs in lower leagues face going out of business by the end of the month. Here& #39;s an alternative set of suggestions put together whilst walking the dog this morning, which by all means rip to shreds, from the world& #39;s dullest man #ProjectDullard
Short Term: Premier League and/or government gives/grants/loan guarantors £1m to every L2 club and £1.5m to every L1 club. Total cost = £60m. It won& #39;t cover all the wages but clubs also have had TV money this season & wages are lower. #ProjectDullard
Short Term: £100m hardship fund made available to Championship clubs from govt. If clubs can afford to sell their stadiums for £10m& #39;s and sell players to PL for £10m& #39;s & be owned by oligarchs from BVI registered companies not all need external funding, but some do #ProjectDullard
Medium Term:
Independent regulator for football to be appointed and recommendations of Jonathan Taylor QC report on EFL governance to be implemented . Any new owners have to accept 1/3 of board as non-execs appointed by the regulator. #ProjectDullard

To provide longer term funding for lower leagues a 1% levy on gross football bets (estimated yield £140m pa) and a 3% levy on all transfers over £10m (estimated yield £30m pa). #ProjectDullard
