Newcastle 1-0 Wigan - Martinez on tough season and football franchises | Premier League 2011-12
- 10 years ago
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has joined the chorus of voices speaking out against proposed plans to scrap promotion and relegation in the Premier League.
League Managers' Association chief executive Richard Bevan revealed earlier this week that some foreign owners in the Premier League were interested in abolishing relegation from the English top flight.
The Football Association has made it clear no such idea would ever be implemented, while the very suggestion of scrapping the current system has met with widespread condemnation from managers, chairmen and owners of Premier League and Championship clubs.
Martinez is the latest to offer a negative view of the idea, backing up earlier comments from Wigan owner Dave Whelan.
"We should be open to new ideas from other sports or other countries, but this is a bad idea," Martinez told the Wigan Evening Post.
