Many of the players have been playing for their premier league clubs and have been in camp almost on a weekly basis since January.

I don't think it's a surprise to anybody. They have some of the premier players in the league. They might be one of the smaller countries, but they're as good as anybody.

I respect the Premier League.

The Premier League is so difficult.

I think it is now time for some healing to take place and for all of us to work towards the development of football which I believe is the interest of everybody. Some people will have differences and as such take different roads to achieve their ends but at the same time it is the sport that should benefit.

I certainly will not belittle this. Some may see it as a mere symbolic upgrade, with little to do with sport.
