Stoke and Manchester City would have to play each other in the league on May 14 but the match was delayed three days because it is inconsistent with their participation in the FA Cup final Harry Redknapp, whose side of the Spurs Battle City to compete in the fourth Premier League, has expressed doubts about the date rearranged the game, because it might lose interest in Stoke at Eastlands to improve their ability to qualify for Europe.

If Stoke lost the FA Cup final, which could qualify for Europe League next season if the city was to finish in the top four in the Premier League. This means that the city would be in the Champions League and not the need for the FA Cup, Europa League, which would go to Stoke. It's a scenario that has caused turmoil at White Hart Lane, despite the Premier League is satisfied that the appliance should not be changed for the same reasons, "said Coates.

"I'd be surprised, and we would be really angry if the Premier League has changed in that game. It 's a kind of denial of fair, is not it?" Stoke the president said. "But I do not think the Premier League [change]. There is no reason to.

"I like Harry - that belongs to all the tricks in the book and I do not mean that rudely, I do not blame all of us are like him and he's a good guy, but he is wrong about this place over ... . in the Premier League is very important to us - a lot of money, but apart from that no matter who plays, wants to win ..

Coates said take the unit forward could lead to another potential problem. "If we are safe [from relegation] yet, Tony [Pulis, the manager] could just as well say:" I want my players to rest and prepare for Wembley. "And then, the situation would again moving. I think Harry got this bad. But I'm not having a go at him. I'm a fan of him. "The obvious solution would be for the FA to ensure that the Cup final - which been introduced this year because of Wembley welcomes the Champions League final May 28 and UEFA will insist games can be played on the field two weeks before - Never moved from its traditional place as the last game of the internal calendar.

"I hope that's the way it would in the future," said Coates. "Final of the FA Cup is a centerpiece. It makes it awkward because we play in a huge game for us and so we still have two matches left. I hope we're safe until then. But I hope it is off. Champions League final at Wembley has messed up and I hope that the future we will return to the old tradition of the season is over and we play the FA Cup final. "
