Kelly Cates is joined by The i Paper's chief football writer Daniel Storey, Sports economist Victor A. Matheson & football finance expert Kieran Maguire, as they delve into the rising number of American owners across British football. It's 20 years since the Glazer family?s highly-controversial and highly-leveraged takeover of Manchester United. Throughout those two decades, the Glazers have been the prime target of fan protests with ?Glazers out? still ringing around Old Trafford. So over the course of this episode you?ll hear why US investors are obsessed with British football, and how real are the concerns that US owners could collude to ?Americanise? the traditions of English football from the removal of promotion and relegation to moving matches overseas and relocating clubs to other cities.
