The outgoing Arsenal manager believes it will take over from the Premier League at weekends, with domestic matches being played in midweek. One of the knock-on effects would be a reduction in the number of teams in the Premier League. “Maybe I will see you in a few years and you will certainly have a European league over the weekends,” Wenger said. There’s a contrast there because if you look at the audiences of the Champions League, it is not fantastic. Because the big clubs will say that if two smaller clubs are playing each other nobody wants to watch it.
