Wenger: I expect the Premiership to change
Manager Arsène Wenger says that he expects the Premier League and football in general to undergo some radical changes in the next few years.
The Frenchman also remarked about how much the league has changed in the last ten years, and expects the same level of change to happen in the next decade.
Speaking during an exclusive webchat with the official site, Wenger said: "First of all it has become a worldwide product. When I travel nowadays I see how popular this League has become.
"Secondly, the ownership has changed completely. The structure of the game has changed and the referees have become completely professional.
"The League has become much more professional overall while the pressure has become much bigger and the financial input has become much bigger. That means the quality of the game has become much better.
"In some ways [these changes are] for good, in some ways for a little bit more negative because it's less relaxed.
"Everybody is a bit more tense and life is, as well, about enjoyment. I felt that 13 years ago a defeat was less dramatic than it is now. It is all about Champions League now and being in the top four.
"I believe that you will have some tremendous changes in the way the game is refereed.
"You will have tremendous changes in the ownership of the clubs and you will have certainly one or two changes in the way the competitions are organised."
