Gary Neville believes US investment is a “danger” to English football following Chelsea owner Todd Boehly’s latest comments. While speaking to a SALT conference in New York, the Blues chief pitched radical changes to the sport.
One of these included a north vs south all-star game each season - akin to the annual contest in the NBA. However, these proposals hit a nerve with the majority of football fans, who feel the move would be another money-grabbing exercise that would derail the modern game further.
Manchester United legend Neville has used the controversy to slam US ownership. As it stands, 10 Premier League clubs are now either wholly or part-owned by Americans.
