Platini, who has in the past criticised the league for what he sees as an over-reliance on imported foreign talent, believes there is no chance of the sport's world governing body FIFA backing the plans when their executive committee meet on March 14 in Zurich.

Platini: "It's a strange and comical idea.

"I was laughing. I laughed because it will never be received by FIFA, by the fans and by the national associations. It's a nonsense idea.

"Soon you will have in England no English presidents, you already have no English coach, you have no English players and maybe now you will have no clubs playing in England. It's a joke."
