LONDON (Reuters) - Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuettl says the Premier League would become boring and fairytales like Leicester City's 2015-16 title run would be impossible if 'Project Big Picture' came in.

The proposals would have seen funding increase for the 72 clubs in the Football League but Hasenhuettl believes the long-term effects would have been damaging for clubs with aspirations of challenging the elite. "I am very happy that they have seen it is better to stick with what we have done here so far in England. The reason the Premier League is so famous is because it's the most competitive in the world -- a 7-2 result from Villa against Liverpool is what makes this league so interesting."
