Considering he’s American himself, I appreciate this a lot as a British football fan.

[clarkmackintosh]

I’m an American and am 100% in agreement that Premier League games should never be played in the US.

[PLEYOR]

I agree, the same goes for their sports. Friendlies, etc. fine. But league games etc. It seems unfair to take away from home fans and considering the already busy schedule something won't quite work.

[BrianRoberts]

Whoever suggested playing EPL games in the states should be locked up

[Muker]

I’m originally from Bournemouth this guy has done wonders for the club signing big players now got a manager who plays good football

[TheBradders]

English football should be played in England how is this even a topic of conversation it’s bad enough some games have the rights sold and some English game are not even live in England footballs just all about the money could care less about the core fans who put them in the position there in football is no longer a sport it’s a business

[minikumaran]

Considering he's american and knows taking the game to America would bring huge sponsorship money and all that especially a team like Bournemouth who are not as strong as top 6 funancially even after that to say this .Kudos to him man

[hassanzaz]

I am also against play in America instead of UK, what is that truly disrespect of there fans 😤 very bad idea

[superjke]

Who tf is suggested PL games to be played abroad?!

[jat]

It’s so stupid America has a football league, invest in it properly and get rid of those stupid wage structure rules and get promotion and relegation going suddenly you can just watch the MLS

[rootchiller]

PL just after more money under the guise of growing the brand.

Pre season games for Arsenal in the US, the ticket prices were eye watering and shocking.

[mysportsroundup]

It couldn’t work, every team plays each other twice, once home and once away, it would be unfair if one team played their rival at home then on a neutral ground for the second.

[liamo]

Games that are home and away make too much difference to a teams performance.
Both teams going to play an away game makes no sense maybe fa cup semi's

[samigh]

Pretty sure most have this opinion. Not really a special gesture here

[mattponikvar]

Rare rich guy who actually understands his customer base

[Mr_R]

Finally an American with some common sense

[TylerAven]

The dichotomy of Bill Foley owning the most likable prem team and the least likable hockey team is so weird to me

[Apjdhdidhej]

This topic is even stupid well done bill

[k.h]

They just can’t get enough money into their pockets it’s a joke 😂😂
