The Premier League’s US takeover
Manage episode 343301192 series 2943541
With half the clubs in the Premier League now owned or part-owned by Americans – and more likely to follow - we ask what the growing US influence could mean for our national sport.
The American vice-chairman of Leeds United Paraag Marathe tells us about his love for the "jeopardy" of English football.
Former Liverpool defender John Scales, now an ambassador for pressure group Fair Game, says more needs to be done to protect the traditions and heritage of the game.
And leading football economist Stefan Szymanski predicts how the tensions between Americanisation and football traditionalists could play out in the future.
Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Matt Slater
Producer: Sam Sheringham
