Redknapp dismisses talk of ending relegation

The Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has dismissed as scandalous talk of ending relegation from English football's Premier League.

Earlier this week Richard Bevan the chief executive of the League Managers Association suggested some foreign owners of top-flight English teams were keen to end the concept of relegation.

Fourteen of the 20 top-flight clubs would have to agree to the idea should it be put forward, but even then the idea could be scrapped as the Football Association have the power to veto any proposal.

Redknapp says promotion-relegation keeps the competition exciting.
