The author was clearly happy when "the other 14" voted against the big six, but isn't happy when the voting bases aren't aligned.

The voting structure of the Premier League – with any motion requiring the consent of 14 from 20 clubs to pass – has in the past enabled the competition to stop the big six getting their way, but required the other 14 to act collectively. The votes this week suggest that this structure can no longer be relied upon.

Honestly, in terms of more money going to the EFL, people seem to just expect the PL clubs to give up more money whenever people ask for it. It's not going to happen unless they're forced to do it.
