Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl believes Project Big Picture would have made the Premier League 'boring' and prevented a repeat of Leicester's shock 2016 title triumph.
Hasenhuttl was unsurprised to see the revolutionary proposals - which would have given greater power to the division's so-called 'big six' sides - unanimously rejected by top-flight clubs.
The Austrian feels the plans were short-sighted and would have detracted from the entertainment and unpredictability of English football.
He also feared they threatened to severely limit the number of potential champions, referencing Bayern Munich's domination of the Bundesliga and Juventus' stranglehold on Serie A, as well as the thrilling 2015-16 season when Claudio Ranieri's Foxes defied odds of 5,000-1 to finish top.
