Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa believes that it's more important for the Premier League to improve their rules than to individually punish the six Super League runaways.
Manchester United and Manchester City both pulled out of the breakaway tournament on Tuesday evening, along with the other four clubs from England.
Since, the Premier League have held a meeting with the remaining 14 clubs to discuss a plan of action and potential sanctions for the 'big six'.
Whilst supporters of rival clubs are still keen to see 'the big six' punished, Bielsa believes that a new rule is more important than individual sanctions.
"I don't think that the path for a solution is for these clubs to be punished but to convince what is best and to come up with rules of acceptance in general and make sure these rules are adhered to," Bielsa told LeedsLive.
"When a rule is broken it forces a sanction, it means that the process before that was not sufficient. And the leadership of the organisation to administer the interests of everybody is to create rules that everyone is able to adhere to as they've all accepted them.
"I am of the opinion that punishment is more for authority and shows that the quality of the efficiency of the rules was in question."
On supporters' protests, he added: "I always hope that there is calmness.
"And in this case, singling out the players is not adequate and I think this subject has already been consumed.
"Football and a classic game like this there is a grade of excitement that is enough.
"The most clear demand from this episode is to put the focus on the competition."
