Yeah ok. Say 50% of the profits to help reduce the costs of watching football for the fans, the other 50% to charity.
How does that sound Mr Boehly? Hello? Are you still there?
Greedy American owner in 'wants even more money' shocker. Stick it in the same pile as the one where they had that idea to stretch the goalposts to make them bigger in extra time and cheerleaders at Monday night football... Ok, just the goalposts one then .
How are the Chelsea fans taking their new owner of 5 minutes going public with something idiotic he thought of while sat in the bath?
Thinking about it again, with regards to generating this money that he’s on about, besides the broadcasters paying a lot, won’t the price for such games just be thrown onto the going fans?
I believe the average nba ticket costs about 150-170 dollars and for nba about 600+ dollars. So then how much would an all star game cost?
Wanting more money to trickle down is a great notion. All for it but how does one ensure it isn’t mismanaged? How does one ensure it’s effectively utilised?
Billionaires didn’t get to where they are being nice and considerate. They’d want to squeeze as much money as they can from the fans. It’s about money at the end of the day. Who doesn’t want a return on their investment?
He should sort his club out first. Understand the league and culture for a couple of years, then have these conversations with the right people before throwing unrealistic statements out there.
Next thing we’ll hear is ‘let’s scrap relegation’…now where have we heard that already?
This I know…forget to add that when writing but they’re not exactly going to want an empty stadium. Maybe they do. What do I know…99% of the money would come from international broadcasts.

Indeed, learning to play in your system or getting valuable fitness, not playing at walking pace trying to hide how they play from rival players.Whilst true, still wouldn’t bother me - if they’re not involved they’ll still be playing some pre season tournament/freindlys in Australia, Asia or America likely
Part of the takeover agreement stipulated he has to invest £1.75Bn into the club over the next 10 years on top of the £2.5Bn he spent on it.
That was in return for Abramovic waiving the nearly 1Bn he was owed (he wasn't getting the money anyway) so they are going to spend big for several seasons. When Potter took the job it was reported that he's getting another £200m to spend next summer.
@Vialli98 can confirm that, but I think that's right.
