Gary Neville tweeted that US investment in English football threatens the pyramid and fabric of the game. Boehly’s suggestions aim to further commercialize English football; this is not “thinking differently,” but the sport’s essence during the last three decades. English football has all the commercialism of American sport but none of its redistribution. These flaws have sparked discussion of a regulator fixing English football.
