'Not inevitable EFL clubs will fold'published at 17:24 British Summer Time 17 September 2020
It is not inevitable that EFL clubs will fold as a result of the coronavirus pandemic but a financial solution is needed quickly to "keep every single one of them alive", says chairman Rick Parry.
On Wednesday, BBC Sport was told that clubs will struggle to stay afloat beyond Christmas if there is a delay to the wider return of fans to stadiums.
Parry said EFL clubs are collectively "haemorrhaging" £25m a month and that rescue packages are urgently needed to "secure the future of our clubs".
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, he added: "We will do our utmost to make sure [clubs going out of business] doesn't happen, we don't regard it as inevitable.
"The challenges are enormous, and we're working literally night and day on trying to secure financial rescue packages for the short term, and longer term I've been talking on that topic pretty much non-stop since May."

Who doesn't love a night of Carabao Cup second-round action on a really, really warm Thursday evening, when we're working from home, all at different times?
Postpublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 17 September 2020
After 22 ties over two packed midweek nights, the third round draw of the Carabao Cup is nearly complete.
There are just three games to be completed tonight.
We've got the all-Premier League tie between Burnley and Sheffield United, before Wolves take on Stoke and Brighton host Portsmouth.
Any ridiculously long penalty shootouts on the cards again tonight?
