Louis Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Chairman Eggert Magnusson believes that playing a competitive Premier League game in the USA would be 'good for the game'. The NFL's decision to play the first regular season game away from North America has fuelled a debate so to whether the Premier League should return the favour and play a game in the US. "I can see that happening sooner rather than later. It would be good for the game," Magnusson told Sky Sports News. Arsenal's American shareholder Stan Kroenke added: "There is probably a good chance of getting a game to go over there because both owners could agree to it. "I think there is a reasonable chance it could take place in the future." Wembley is the venue for the encounter between The Miami Dolphins and New York Giants, which takes place on Sunday. And Jonathan Tisch, co-owner of NFL franchise the New York Giants, admits he would love to stage a Premier League clash in the Big Apple. "Wearing another one of my hats as head of tourism in New York City, we would welcome an English game in the states," he said. "It would be great for New York's tourism, it would be great in the United States too to spread the game internationally. "People want to be part of this global environment, and sport is a rallying point where people can put aside their differences and root for a team."

GoldfishMemory Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Wooohooo the yanks have landed! Tell you what lets fly a load of players over to the states to play a game for no other reason than lining your fat pockets than fly them back an expect them to be on top form next week too. Heres an idea why not make it the boxing day match so they have about 20mins to get back home for the next game, fuck the players, fuck the fans it's all about the money these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 They'd only be interested in the Liverpool Red Sox match-up with "Manchester" anyway....let them go I say, preferably twenty-four hours before a game with Everton (only not the Arse, they would then field their reserves against us . Frightening.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
