This isn't new, he mentioned the issue in some press conference just after he arrived 2013/2014. Feedback was start in the bottom tier and rejection of the idea from EFL. So six years later, Bury and Macclesfield gone to the wall, Wigan and Bolton up shit creek even the mighty Wednesday failing. If there was a model of 50% less one share the control could be local, networks put together like Girona, we sell you a player for £2M and have buy back clause like Luiz at Villa, year 1 5M, year 2 10M. We don't want him back 50% of any profit. They benefit from the backroom stuff, scouting etc.. We benefit from having our players in a competitive league, they make a profit on a player making progress, we profit by possibly getting a diamond on the cheap.
EFL will say no because they're pig headed, our partner teams fans should see better players and hopefully win more, and more importantly their team won't disappear. Half of them have so many loan players anyway there is no true relationship with the player and I wouldn't go to Bolton or Bury to watch a game thinking I was watching City Lite. So separation of support, for me anyway, would be complete.
