A few NFL owners are being put under pressure to sell their football teams in the English Premier League, in the aftermath of the failed attempt to start a Super League football.
Via Sports Business Dailyfans in the UK want the Glazers (who own the Buccaneers) and Stan Kroenke (who owns the Rams) to sell Manchester United and Arsenal respectively.
Joel Glazer, co-chairman of Manchester United, apologized for ‘the club’s involvement in the breakaway of the European Super League project’, and he acknowledged that the attempt disregarded the ‘deep-rooted traditions’ of the English version.
“Although the wounds are raw and I understand that it will take time before the scars heal, I am personally committed to rebuilding trust with our supporters and learning from the message you delivered with such conviction,” Glazer said. said.
The Glazers have always been controversial owners of the Manchester United club, and it seems like no fan of any team owned by Stan Kroenke ever wants him to be the owner. The attempt to form a new Super League for their football teams failed miserably and spectacularly. More time will be needed to determine if those involved in inciting it will be able to thrive with their current teams in their current leagues. It is possible that in the end the only practical solution is to sell.
