LEICESTER Tigers chief executive Andrea Pinchen believes the “future is bright” for the Prem with the league set to move to a franchise-style model, with promotion and relegation to be scrapped from next season.
Exeter are the latest club to attract new major backers, with the billionaire owners of Premier League side Bournemouth closing in on a takeover.
Newcastle were bought by energy drinks giant Red Bull in August, while billionaire Sir James Dyson became co-owner of Bath in March.
Pinchen said: “The fact these multi-nationals are coming to the table to invest shows there is the opportunity there and there is that growth there,” she told BBC Radio Leicester.
“In another 10 years’ time I think it will be unrecognisable. It feels very exciting and there is still lots of work to do to get there, of course there is, and we still have to balance the books whilst getting there, but I think the future is bright.”
