EPL revising plans to add matches abroad
Chief executive Richard Scudamore told the Leaders in Football conference Tuesday that the EPL can't patronize its huge global fan base by just playing exhibition games outside of England.
FIFA and the English Football Association opposed the EPL's original plan, announced in February, to add a 39th game to the schedule, to be played outside England starting in January 2011.
"Will it come back in the original form? Probably not," Scudamore said. "Will it come back in another form? Probably likely."
He said at least eight other proposals are on the agenda and the Premier League expects to announce further details early next year.
