Sir Bobby and Freddy Shepherd were reported to be keen for the ‘Premier Passions’ style programme to go-ahead but a meeting of the players committee rejected the plan.
Several newspapers now claim that the players will club together to make the £150,000 charitable donation that Sky had offered in return for support for the project.
Given some of the players’ behaviour that is already reported in the papers it is probably a good job that uncensored behind-the-scenes footage of the training ground and dressing room isn’t going to be available.
