Harry bemoans global plan

Harry bemoans global plan

17 February 2008 - 12:20

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has blasted the Premier League for the suggestion that one game hould be played abroad per season. Redknapp believes that foreign ownership of clubs has had an important influence on the suggestion.

  • Arsenal make surprise decision on Viktor Gyokeres
  • Arsenal to battle Napoli to sign Alexsandro Ribeiro?

  • "They (the Premier League) may try to stage a game on the moon. That way it would be outside Fifa's jurisdiction," Redknapp told the Sunday Mirror.



    "I think the Premier League had a responsibility to consult the people who really matter, like the supporters and the coaches.



    "I'm wholly opposed to the idea - like a lot of managers are. I think people were guilty of going public with the hare-brained scheme and not giving it enough consideration.



    "The supporters are no mugs. It's understandable that they are dead set against it. They know one game will become five and five will become 10."
