    He is right in saying will come to the Premiership teams playing all their matches abroad because its 'money making' for the big foreign investors. No consideration for the 'proper fans'

    Ah well The Championship will be the Premier league then in England

    Harry Redknapp - Portsmouth

    "I said months ago I could see us playing abroad, I could see them all taking their teams, getting more and more foreign owners. We will probably end up playing one game a year in England and the rest around the world. It would be like the Harlem Globetrotters! ... It's money making. Why do these people buy football clubs? Owners of clubs used to be the local butcher, baker, candlestick maker. That was their team. It's all about investment for these people. They buy clubs, they get a good investment and they want a return on their money and that's why they buy the club - it's not because they love the club.
