An English law will prevent clubs from participating in the Super League!

Although some senior English Premier League officials and Bournemouth’s owner have pushed back on the idea, London Mayor Sadiq Khan wants Premier League games to be played in the United States. Liverpool, the club I support, are currently on tour in the United States. They have great fans in America. Why can’t these fans attend a competitive match? ” he explained in the podcast The Sports Agentsrelayed by The Athletic.

” We have seen other European leagues playing competitive games elsewhere. (…) There are a lot of obstacles, but I think this is the way forward. It is very important to take the fans with you. We don’t want fans to miss more than one or two games a season in their stadium. ” explains the 53-year-old. At the moment, the only English league games that American fans can attend are those during pre-season.
