Birmingham - Wrexham - game asked to be played in the States

[Jammy89]

Birmingham asked for their League 1 game against Wrexham to be played in the states.

-------------------------------------
The EFL have swiftly rejected this request.

Unfortunately I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before something like this happens however as we all know money talks.🙄

US owned Birmingham City which includes Tom Brady asked for the match to be played in America.

Wrexham who have Ryan reynolds and Rob McElhenney as owners was fully behind the idea.
They played Manchester United in America last pre season.
-----------------------------------------

I think that once this happens once, somewhere within the league we'll see a flood gates of this and they'll have to put rules into place about how many games can be done like that.

This 39th game shite would be the beginning of the end, tbh.

Wasn't is Masters who said something along the lines of fans from other countries having the right to see their team closer to home??

Fuck off, man

It's the American owners pushing the rules that protect the cartel and now EFL American owners getting involved?

ffs

[Jammy89]

Yup.

But the American owners are getting closer and closer to the magic 14 that they can use to push things through.

Yup.

But the American owners are getting closer and closer to the magic 14 that they can use to push things through.

yeah it's very interesting to see the hatred of the Gulf state owners, who have not pushed to alter the game what so ever, ploughed hundreds of millions into clubs and enhanced the league no end whilst the American owners where all front and centre pushing for Super League, lobbying for Blue Cards and sin bins to break up the 45 min halves to push more advertising breaks into the game and ruin it as a spectacle.

The Americanisation of our sport will be it's demise.

The Government need to step in and introduce laws around Football as part of our heritage and ring fence the sport from all this nonsense.

Save it from becoming the Sh!te US 'Sports Entertainment Products'. It is the World's Sport. Americas hate it. They need to know their place & stick to their own garbage saturated Sportatainment nonsense that no one else give a damn about.
