Football Association chairman Lord Triesman has launched a double-pronged challenge to the Premier League by calling on England's top flight to hand over more cash to the rest of the game and for a ban on transfers of players under 18.
The FA's relationship with the Premier League is at a all-time low and Triesman's latest call will strain it even further.
It comes less than a month after the FA's independent chairman infuriated league chiefs by calling for a limit on club debts.
Triesman said at the FT Sport Industry Summit in London yesterday the league should increase its contribution to the Football League - currently £90million over three years.
He said: "There needs to be a greater equality of resources available to the individual clubs, if you have huge disparities in resource you are going to have significant differences in the quality of the playing staff."
