Grant cautious on radical overseas plan

CHELSEA manager Avram Grant has warned Premier League bosses to think carefully about taking the English game across the globe.

The Premier League announced on Thursday they are to examine a proposal to introduce an ‘international round’ into the domestic fixture list from 2010-11.

Five major cities across the world would host 10 extra Premier League games but the plan has met with a mixed reaction from managers and players. The 20 clubs gave the radical proposal their backing at a meeting in London but Grant thinks the Premier League must take extra care over the planning.
