Premier League will not suffer any Brexit effects says chief exec

The Premier League will not suffer any ill effects as a result of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, according to interim chief executive Richard Masters.

As the October 31 Brexit deadline looms, preparations are being stepped up across a number of government departments, with reports this week emerging suggesting that Britain would take a £30bn ($37.5bn) hit as a result.

In spite of those warnings, the Premier League is continuing with business as usual.

“I don't think there is a scenario where the Premier League will be badly affected by Brexit,” Masters told reporters in Shanghai, where he was attending the Premier League Asia Trophy contested by Manchester City, Wolves, West Ham and Newcastle.
