The American Dream

The harping season is here again with the rekindling theme to transport selected Premiership matches to the Unites States. So it’s time to harp back to the Premiership’s former CEO Peter Scudamore who advocated the termed 39^th Premier game to be played across the pond, on leaving the CEO role the begging bowl was offered to all the Premiership clubs to contribute to a large pay out which ran into millions for Scudamore’s services rendered, a wretched state of affairs under the Scudamore watchdog.

In 2018, the Italian club Genoa flagrantly kick starting the thought process to play a league match in Miami to be ratified by the Italian federation, UEFA objected to this with their sisters FIFA not reading off the same page. So is it for UEFA to do what they always do and change the rules to suit, the FIFA billboarded to allow competitive matches to be played in foreign countries. The New York City based event promoter the driving force behind the American dream bizarrely filed an anti-trust suit v the FIFA with FIFA’s lack of concern for players welfare being cited, a contradictory course of events. The relevant sports CEO quote “Bringing official matches from Europe to the USA is an exciting proposition, it must be done thoughtfully and collaboratively.” No get go to that, to suggest there will be no collaboration, the American Dream. That’s all it is, a dream.

Stateside National Broadcasting

The network has been in discussion with the Prem’s CEO masters to fester a bribe for selected Prem matches to be played stateside in return for the 2 billion pounds winging it’s way to the Prem clubs for the current broadcasting rights, a sharp daggered response came from the football supporters association quote “We defeated the 39^th game and European League concepts and will attack any attempted revival with a full blown off the ground studs on the knee tackle”. No shin pads required then. Will the network renege on the deal if their demands are not met, there will be no competitive Prem matches coming stateside, they have to accept this, no choice, time to call their bluff, the Premier League is the big dog on the block not MBC. The Prem will march on without their money, they will not pull the plug, it all has positive traction. The USA Prem supporters will have to settle for a Donald Trump KFC in front of the big screens, that’s as near as they will get to the blades of grass, competitively speaking, ride on.

The government regulator on the horizon will batten down masters and puncture the nonsense. The end game has to be to remove the imposter from English football masters. Now that’s worth taking to the streets for to hit the source of the problem, the danger man to English football, the former Manchester United and Everton shot stopper on a good day has waning the NBC’s straddle the dog for the NBC’s wants and needs. Howard has a vested interest with the role of being an NBC employee, Howard should know better having plied his trade in English football, matches in America would not suction pipe good with the supporters, NBC needs to back off to keep their own house in order, settle for the basketball and the American grid iron, that’s live and competitive.

The American Dream?

The Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has been voicing one’s Tannoy for Premiership matches on a selected process to be played in the USA it has become a Werner ambition, it’s not about him it’s about the supporters, the crazed, selfish out rider Werner. The club’s owners the JT Henry’s are voicing their own cat calls in the background on approval. The bullshit hits the billboards to allow the Premier League to grow worldwide, it’s all become foolhardy and farcical. Time for the crazed Werner playlist, quote Werner “We could play one game in New York then a few hours later one game in Tokyo and then later Los Angeles and Riyad, all played a few hours of each other on the same day”. A raft of Premiership matches, looney Werner forgot to mention the time zone difference, all matches to be celebrated, has Werner been sucking on the pipe cleaner? The Liverpool supporters have voiced their outrage at such bollocks with a further hairy pair, the Werner suggesting that the club will pay for the supporters’ travel, it’s all subterfuge, the Werner caper.

The Glitch

League 1 AFC Wrexham and Birmingham City made a request to the Football League for their League One encounters to be played in America, the FL made it known that the request is futile with the request draft version being lost in the FL’s computer glitch, shredded. We’re here, we want to be heard, the Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney alongside the Birmingham City part owner the American Soccer icon Tom Brady on board but with less of a Tannoy.

The question is should AFC Wrexham pitch in carefully with the Welsh dragon tango stepping it’s hoistery in the English pyramid system, be careful what you wish for, away days at Llandudno in the Welsh Leagues could become the norm, wish you were here? Nice ice cream.
