Games Off

 

 

Pep Wants Less

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has decided that the Premier League is in need of changes and called for a reduction in teams. Guardiola told a pre-match press conference: "I have the feeling that we cannot lose what local leagues mean - what it means to play the FA Cup ... what it means to play in the leagues. What we should do is make every league in Europe stronger than what it is, less teams, better championships, better League One, better League Two, better Premier League with less teams in every competition. Go to quality over quantity. You have to make a super Premier League ... for that you have to reduce teams. But we can't kill lower divisions or the Premier League. That's something that is so important. It's not about other benefits, it's about how important sentimentally it is having your own league for every country."
