In an exclusive interview with Off The Pitch, the EFL chairman praises the “resilience and commitment” of the EFL’s 72 owners during Covid.

Parry maintains that many of the challenges facing the EFL would have been resolved by last October’s controversial Project Big Picture. He is also very sceptical that a sponsorship gaming-ban would solve anything.

The EFL chairman also talks about troubleshooting, Covid, founding the Premier League and why the world’s oldest league will always endure.
