Arsene Wegner: football has 'sold its soul' to TV Arsenal manager Arsene Wegner claims that football has "sold its soul" to TV and that in turn TV is too "influenced by some clubs." However he insists the Premiere League has failed to take a tough enough stance against the broadcaster's demands against fixture changes. Wenger, who takes his side to Swansea on Sunday, claims the demands of the viewing schedules can have a direct influence on games. He said: "We have sold our soul and we do not control our fixtures any more. It is the truth and I cannot say the television is wrong, but it is not normal that you can have a direct influence on the schedule through the television. The Premier League has to make sure there is a bit more fairness in the schedules. He added: "I don't believe in the last month or the last year, the Premier League has played a very fair role in the distribution of the fixtures." Television is influenced by some clubs to choose the fixtures. Some clubs get advantaged by television. Is it Sky or is it ESPN? They have an influence there from the clubs directly and the Premier League should be a much bigger barrier than they are in front of that. I do not want to go personal on any club. I just think, when things are repeated, they are not a coincidence any more. In England, it is always very difficult to say what you feel about that but, I am not the only manager who thinks that and I think there is a real problem.
