Liverpool owners have made their position clear to play Premier League matches abroad | OneFootball

Time after time, the biggest threat to the Premier League is clearly shown to be the Liverpool owners and the Manchester United owners.

They are relentless in their desire to change English football for the worst, the very worst.

At the heart of every shameless plot, you find those Manchester United owners and Liverpool owners.

Just look back at the attempt of the ‘big six’ to try and award themselves extra voting rights, so that they could then dictate all major decisions in the future.

The owners of those two clubs exposed as having been at the heart of the attempt to steal away power.

The European Super League?

Same again. The Liverpool owners and Manchester United owners leading the way of the same six English clubs looking to make it so they would automatically qualify for the major European competition without having to win any matches.

This week we reported (see below) the devastating news that Serie A and La Liga matches are to be played abroad in December 2025 and February 2026. Normal league games featuring AC Milan, Como, Villarreal and Barcelona to be played in Australia and the USA, rather than Italy and Spain. UEFA and FIFA admitting they were powerless to stop this happening.

I think we all know what will quickly happen now.

With this precedent set, there is zero doubt on what Premier League clubs will now do.

Very quickly we will see English clubs follow suit and if I had to guess, my money for sure would be on the unscrupulous Liverpool owners.

A leading member of their ownership group is the chairman of Boston Red Sox and Liverpool, Tom Werner.

This is what Tom Werner had to say last year about what his ideas are about the whole issue and what he ‘determined’ to make happen…

“I’m determined one day to have a Premier League game be played in New York City.

“I even have the sort of crazy idea that there would be a day where we play one [Premier League] game in Tokyo, one [Premier League] game a few hours later in LA, one [Premier League] game in Rio, one [Premier League] game a few hours later in Riyadh and make it sort of a day where the Premier League is celebrated.”

Well, a message to the Liverpool owners.

We kind of have a day already ‘where the Premier League is celebrated’, it is any matchday at whatever stadium a match is played IN ENGLAND!

Premier League matches should not be played anywhere else than at their normal stadiums, in front of their own fans, in England.

The numerous clubs with American ownership are by far the biggest threat to the Premier League. The Liverpool owners and the Man U owners at the very forefront of trying to ruin English football.

The Mag report – 9 October 2025:

Premier League matches are now going to be played abroad, it is not a case any longer of ‘if’, it is simply a case of ‘when’?

The long running attempts to have Serie A and La Liga matches played abroad have now proved successful, both FIFA and UEFA admitting they are powerless to prevent it happening.

Villarreal and Barcelona will play their La Liga match in Miami in December (2025).

Then in February 2026, AC Milan will play their Serie A match against Como in Perth, Australia.

The clubs and leagues in Italy and Spain winning the legal fight, these matches can’t be stopped from going ahead in other countries, rather than their normal footballing homes.

Strong words (see below) from UEFA boss Aleksander Ceferin speaking against this horrific concept BUT they are empty words, these clubs and leagues have ‘won’ and these league matches will not be played in Italy and Spain, instead Australia and the USA.

Anybody who thinks that this will be it, just the two games, just these two leagues, is naive beyond belief.

Money is of course the only driving force as to why these AC Milan and Barcelona games are getting moved overseas, so when the clubs bank serious amounts of money over and above what would have happened if the matches had been played as normal, it is crazy to think that this will be the end of it.

Instead, it will be only the start, all the major clubs in all the major leagues will demand the right to do the same. The only possible exception would possibly be the Bundesliga, where football fans have more power and are also better at mobilising collectively for the greater good when needed, putting club rivalries aside to fight a bigger evil.

The Premier League owners, including those at Newcastle United, are all in it for their own selfish reasons, which are usually a mixture of money, power, influence, prestige and so on, by driving higher and higher revenues is how they can best try to achieve that.

As always in these cases that will be unpopular with fans, the justification from the owners of clubs will be that they ‘have to’ do this as well, or else these other clubs/league will be getting an unfair financial advantage.

The precedent will have been set once the La Liga match is played in the USA in two months time, then to further back that up, the Serie A game in Australia when we get to February 2026.

You can all have your own guesses as to when we will see the first Premier League matches played abroad BUT my prediction is that you won’t have to wait very long at all…

BBC Sport report – 8 October 2025:

‘Serie A chief executive Luigi de Siervo said Adrien Rabiot should “respect his employer” after the AC Milan midfielder criticised plans for overseas league matches.

In February Milan will play their Serie A match with Como in Perth, Australia, while La Liga clubs Villarreal and Barcelona will face each other in Miami in December.

France international Rabiot told French newspaper Le Figaro, external that the plans are “completely crazy” and “really absurd”.

“There’s a lot of talk about schedules and player health, but this all seems truly absurd. It’s crazy to travel so many miles for a match between two Italian teams in Australia. We have to adapt, as always,” the 30-year-old said.

Asked about Rabiot’s comments at a Serie A assembly meeting in Rome, De Siervo said: “He’s right, but Rabiot forgets, like all footballers who earn millions of euros, that they are paid to carry out an activity, to play football.

“He should have respect for the money he earns, complying with the wishes of his employer, Milan, who accepted and pushed for this match to be played abroad.”

On Monday Uefa confirmed it had “reluctantly” approved two European league matches to be played abroad.

Aleksander Ceferin doubled down on Uefa’s opposition on Wednesday, with the Uefa president saying Europe’s top clubs risk “breaking” football if league games are moved overseas.

“Football is not just about balance sheets. It’s not just entertainment. It’s life in our communities, the streets, the clubs and the fans which shape it. If we pull it too far away from those roots we risk breaking it,” Ceferin told club officials at the European Football Clubs’ (formerly the European Club Association) general assembly in Rome.

“In uncertain times football is our anchor and gives us a common ground, a joy we can share. In good times and in bad, football is always there, reliable lasting – always there.

“When Europe faces great political, economic and social challenges we need something which holds us together. Football has that power and we must preserve it.

“I believe it will prosper and inspire. It will do so because we are strong.”

Uefa said it consulted stakeholders and found “widespread lack of support” for league matches to be played abroad, echoing concerns raised by fans, other leagues, clubs, players and European institutions.
