“It’s very sad for me, the Super League is so bad,” the coach said.
“The Leicester story was something special, and we’d lose these stories. It’s not just about football, I remember the feeling between Indian and English people celebrating Leicester City’s title together.
“That achievement with Leicester is the first thing I thought about when I heard the news, regardless of I was part of it.
“That’s what football is about: an underdog can beat a big club, that’s the essence of sport.
“What they are trying to do is wrong. Maybe they are doing it to cover all their debts? It’s not fair for football. I hope UEFA will stop them.”
