Liverpool’s owners have made clear their position on playing Premier League matches abroad

Time and again it is clear that the biggest threat to the Premier League is the owners of Liverpool and Manchester United.

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

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

Just look back at the attempt by the ‘big six’ to grant themselves additional voting rights so that they could dictate all important decisions in the future.

The owners of these two clubs appeared to have been at the heart of the attempt to wrest power.

The European Super League?

Same again. The owners of Liverpool and Manchester United are leading the way as the same six English clubs aim to make it so they automatically qualify for the major European competition without having to win games.

This week we reported (below) the devastating news that Serie A and La Liga matches will be played abroad in December 2025 and February 2026. Normal league matches with AC Milan, Como, Villarreal and Barcelona will be played in Australia and the US, instead of Italy and Spain. UEFA and FIFA admitted that they were powerless to prevent this.

I think we all know what will happen soon.

Now that this precedent has been set, there is no doubt what Premier League clubs will do next.

Very soon we will see English clubs follow suit and if I had to bet my money would definitely be on the unscrupulous Liverpool owners.

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

Here’s what Tom Werner had to say last year about what his thoughts are on the whole issue and what he ‘decided’ to make happen…

“I am determined to one day have a Premier League match played in New York City.

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

Well, a message to Liverpool’s owners.

We already have a day ‘where the Premier League is celebrated’, it’s every match day, in any stadium, where a match is played IN ENGLAND!

Premier League matches cannot be played anywhere other than in their normal stadiums, in front of their own fans, in England.

The numerous American-owned clubs pose by far the biggest threat to the Premier League. The Liverpool owners and the Man U owners are at the forefront of their attempts to ruin English football.

The Mag Report – October 9, 2025:

Premier League matches will now be played abroad, it’s no longer a matter of ‘if’, it’s just a matter of ‘when’?

The long-running attempts to have Serie A and La Liga matches played abroad have now proven successful, with both FIFA and UEFA admitting they are powerless to prevent this.

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

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

The clubs and leagues in Italy and Spain that win the legal battle cannot prevent these matches from taking place in other countries, instead of in their normal football stadiums.

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

Anyone who thinks this will be it, just these two games, just these two competitions, is incredibly naive.

Of course, money is the only motivation behind these AC Milan and Barcelona matches being moved abroad, so if the clubs are forking out serious amounts of money beyond what would have happened if the matches had been played normally, it’s insane to think that this will be the end of it.

Instead, this will only be the beginning; all major clubs in all major leagues will demand the right to do the same. The only possible exception might be the Bundesliga, where football fans have more power and are also better able to mobilize collectively for the greater good when necessary, putting aside club rivalries to fight a greater evil.

The owners of the Premier League, including those of Newcastle United, are all in it for their own selfish reasons, which are usually a combination of money, power, influence, prestige and so on. They can best try to achieve this by generating higher and higher income.

As always, this won’t be popular with the fans. The club owners’ justification will be that they ‘must’ do this too, otherwise these other clubs/leagues will get an unfair financial advantage.

The precedent will be set once the La Liga match is played in the US in two months’ time, and to further support that, the Serie A match in Australia in February 2026.

La Liga headquarters sign

You can all make your own guess as to when we’ll see the first Premier League games played abroad, BUT my prediction is that you won’t have to wait long at all…

BBC Sports report – October 8, 2025:

‘Serie A chief Luigi de Siervo said Adrien Rabiot must ‘respect his employer’ after the AC Milan midfielder criticized plans for foreign league matches.

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

French international Rabiot told French newspaper Le Figaro externally that the plans are “completely insane” and “really absurd”.

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

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

“He must respect the money he earns and comply with the wishes of his employer, Milan, who accepted and insisted on playing this match abroad.”

On Monday, UEFA confirmed it had “reluctantly” given permission for two European competition 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 matches are moved abroad.

“Football is not just about balance sheets. It is not just entertainment. It is the life in our communities, the streets, the clubs and the fans that shape it. If we pull it too far away from those roots we risk destroying it,” Ceferin told club officials at the general meeting of the European Football Clubs (formerly the European Club Association) 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 and sustainable – always there.

“When Europe faces major political, economic and social challenges, we need something to hold us together. Football has that strength and we must keep it.

“I believe it will flourish and inspire. It will do this because we are strong.”

UEFA says it has consulted stakeholders and found a “widespread lack of support” for league matches played abroad, echoing concerns raised by fans, other leagues, clubs, players and European institutions.

But it said FIFA’s regulatory framework is “not clear and detailed enough” to block the plans.
