Redknapp worried over foreign owners of English clubs

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is concerned about the influence of foreign owners of top-flight clubs, and claims it is only a matter of time before they insist competitive domestic matches are played abroad.

Richard Bevan, chief executive of the League Managers Association, claimed on Monday that some foreign owners of top-flight English teams were keen to end the concept of relegation from the division and promotion from the npower Championship.
