Popular pundit, Simon Jordan, has come out to blast US ownership in the English Premier League. He recently singled out Todd Boehly and the Glazers, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, US investment in English football is a clear and present danger to the pyramid of the game, and while they just don’t get it and think differently, they also don’t stop until they get what they want.
He added that the way Glazers, Stan Kroenke ran away from the confrontation that came with the European Super League was pitiful, and Boehly acts as a drunken American serviceman on leave because he is not balancing the books.
His words, “Don’t forget all these American owners like the Glazers, like Stan Kroenke and Bruce Buck who’s involved, as I say, ran sniveling away from the confrontation that came with the European Super League.
They start a fight and then they run away before the first punch is thrown.
I think I used an example there of accusing Todd Bowley of being like a drunken American serviceman on leave because he’s not balancing the books and doing it economically viably.
US investment into English football is a clear and present danger to the pyramid and the fabric of the game. They just don’t get it and think differently. They also don’t stop until they get what they want.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
