Blackburn boss Allardyce: Why change best league in world?

Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce has told club powerbrokers to drop plans of restructuring the Premiership.

Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has expressed concerns that too much money continues to flow into the coffers of the top four clubs and in his annual report, published last week, made it clear he believed addressing the big differences in income was the league's greatest challenge.

Allardyce, however, does not believe drastic change is required.

"We have the best football in the world at the moment on a league level, with the most professionally run league and most professional leagues in the world," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"It's usually well organised and structured and pleases millions and millions of people on a weekend.

"People sometimes want change for the sake of change rather than the need to change.

"We need to enhance all football in entertainment, improve and develop it to make sure more young players develop into those leagues . To have that taken away, based on finance, is totally wrong for me."
