Tottenham Manager Harry Redknapp Says Prospect Of Foreign Domination Of Premier League Is 'Scary'. Junior Enterprise LTD Explains Further. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) December 03, 2011 - Harry Redknapp has expressed his worries that foreign owners will eventually ruin the Premier League, forcing clubs to play matches abroad and making it similar to the NFL. Harry Redknapp has said "That is where we are at. Eventually they will take the games to where they want to play them. If you have owners from China, India, Russia, America, they will want to take their teams there to play."

The matter of foreign ownership has been a massive talking point after Richard Bevan, the chief executive of the League Managers Association, claimed that a bloc of the Premier League's foreign owners were in favour of scrapping promotion and relegation. Managing Director of Junior Enterprise LTD expressed his opinion on the issues surrounding relegation being scrapped, saying "It's ridiculous- it is what our game is built upon - competition!"

Fourteen of the 20 Premier League clubs will have to agree on a rule change before it can be passed, with 9 clubs currently in foreign hands, Redknapp said "I don't know what you can do, with more foreign owners coming in; it's going to be scary. Teams are looking to sell their clubs.

English people don't have the money. The money is in Russia, the Arab countries, America. When they get control, they will do what they want with our game. Anything can happen. Our game will go that way in the future. There will be games played abroad, I am sure about that."

Junior Enterprise LTD 's Managing Director spoke about the idea of clubs playing abroad, saying "I don't think games playing abroad is the problem - It is the prospect of no promotion or no relegation, it will change the face of our game."
