Chelsea owner and chairman Todd Boehly has proposed a Premier League All-Star Game with funds distributed to the lower tiers of English football.


Lol next thing you know we’re going to get three timeouts for each team per half, 30 min per half of commercial breaks, whored up cheerleaders and fireworks….lots of freakin fireworks. I’m American, and we do some things well, but fricking with English football isn’t one of them. Oof.

@GNev2 I keep saying it but the quicker we get the Regulator in the better. US investment into English football is a clear and present danger to the pyramid and fabric of the game. They just don’t get it and think differently. They also don’t stop till they get what they want!

Neville is getting roasted for that tweet. Rightfully so.

There is no basis in reality for such a blanket statement, just xenophobic.


People are bringing up that Rio Ferdinand tweeted a couple of years about wanting an EPL All Star match.

Can't believe Todd Boehly bought Sterling.

He’s right about American owners trying to fundamentally change how world football is run

We have already seen it with the super league nonsense

They want a closed system that pays big money and doesn’t punish you when your not competitive

They have already showed their hand

sterling kinda sucks but is still better than the other forwards, which is depressing.

Neville and his united buddies partnered with peter lim to buy Salford City out of the lower leagues. and now hes talking about the integrity of the pyramid against foreign investment.

Pretty much all the soccer pods I listen to were going in on Boehly.

I agree. Sir Jim Ratcliffe would have been my owner of choice. But the American bank overseeing the bidding process told him to get bent and didn’t give a reason why.

Before you know it footballers will be wearing helmets and pads.

He’s about to spend almost £500 million since the summer

This is madness

Like I said big time Dan Snyder vibes when he first bought the Redskins

The manager he fired Mr Mean Tuchel for isn’t working and he’s literally like a drunk guy on fifa career mode.

Letting go of the football people at the club and sacking Tuchel was stupid

But but he’s mean to Pulisic

Might be American of me but I don’t like a club poaching a rivals manager in the middle of the season


It’s also very American to assume that all the clubs in a league are on relatively equal levels… the rest of the world simply isn’t like us

The EPL is as close as it gets, but we might have a Super League soon because it’s hard to get top TV money for a Barca or Bayern or PSG vs randos match

Getting into arguments with fans in the stands from owners box

Going into the locker room to give a pep talk that turns into berating then saying he will replace them all
