Todd Boehly has defended his and the club's position surrounding the controversy of an alteration to a Ray Wilkins banner during a shot of Stamford Bridge in the latest episode of Ted Lasso. Wilkins' banner, which hangs in the east stand of the ground, reads: "They don't make them like Ray anymore" but was edited for the shot in popular American show Ted Lasso.
With the central narrative of the third season's second episode focusing on a game against Chelsea, the change of Ray to Roy referenced fictional character Roy Kent. Kent is a man based on Manchester United icon Roy Keane but the decision to tamper with the Wilkins banner on camera has gone down badly with fans of the club.
However, Boehly has reiterated he had "nothing to do" with this decision, but did apologise for the impact caused. "We had nothing to do these arrangements," Boehly tweeted.
