Premier League changes set to be discussed that could affect Leeds United

The Premier League is reportedly set for discussions over changes which would massively affect and change how viewers watch football. The Daily Mail have reported that the Premier League will hold half-time interviews with managers and coaches, which is being discussed ahead of meetings this summer.

It's a broadcasting technique which has been used in the United States, especially in the NFL (American Football) and NBA (basketball), with coaches immediately being interviewed by a sideline reporter before they go and talk their team at half-time. It is not known if half-time would extend beyond 15 minutes should these interviews take place.

And the Mail also reporters that there could be an increased presence of media members at training grounds and facilities, and the potential for cameras in the dressing rooms at half-time - another technique which has been used Stateside.

The video would not show sound as to not give tactics and private conversations away and available for millions to hear, but it be a monumental shift - with viewers able to see what goes on inside a dressing room during the break.

It is said that most clubs are not too against the plans to introduce the new broadcasting techniques - with Premier League sides, including Leeds United, set to take home millions from the likes of Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime for the footage.

However, there is a suspicion that some of the Big Six teams may kick back against the plans, given they can monetise such content by using it on their own channels and charging companies to sponsor it.

Amazon Prime have previously covered Tottenham Hotspurs' season, giving fans behind-the-curtains access to conversations between managers and players, dressing room talks and much more - with Arsenal set to appear on the show this season.
