"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."
