nj meadowlands Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 oh, great... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33446527/sources-new-york-jets-owner-woody-johnson-interested-buying-english-premier-league-club-chelsea Sources - New York Jets owner Woody Johnson interested in buying English Premier League club Chelsea 2:15 PM ET Adam SchefterESPN Senior Writer Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print New York Jets owner Robert "Woody" Johnson is readying a bid for Chelsea F.C. in the English Premier League, according to sources close to the situation. Johnson already has spoken to Raine Group, which is organizing the bid process, per sources, and he now is vying to become the latest NFL owner to buy into the Premier League. There are natural synergies with both organizations as the Jets were just awarded marketing rights to the NFL's UK International Home Marketing Areas program. New York and London are sister cities, both culturally and economically. Johnson is considered to be very knowledgeable of both the Chelsea club and the Premier League, having lived in London, where he served as the United States ambassador. While there, Johnson is said to have become a fan of the organization and its supporters, and he is aware of the important role that the Premier League plays throughout the United Kingdom. There currently are multiple NFL owners who own English Premier League teams: Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke and Arsenal F.C., Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan and Fulham F.C., the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Glazer Family and Manchester United, and the San Francisco 49ers' owner Jed York has a minority stake in Leeds United. Chelsea is currently owned by Russian Roman Abramovich, whose decision to sell the club has apparently been influenced by mounting pressure on the U.K. government to seize the assets of high-value Russian individuals with links to Russia president Vladimir Putin's regime following the country's invasion of Ukraine. Abramovich has always denied any ties to Putin. Sources have told ESPN's James Olley that Abramovich is seeking around £3 billion ($2.24 billion) for the club. Chelsea, which won the UEFA Champions League last year as Europe's top club team, is currently in third place in the Premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyeJet Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 There could be a report that Woody was thinking of piercing his ear and a good portion of our fan base would convince themselves it has drastic, harmful ramifications on the Jets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I don't mind Woody at all, he wants to win, he has not been cheap he just makes bad decisions regarding who runs the football part of the team. He is far far better than his little brother. I took a lot of flack for hammering Christopher. Also....Liz Hurley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Chelsea has a really good run of success over the past decade plus. At least their fans will have a lot of good memories to fall back on when things turn to $hit under Woody. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickfoshizal Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Woody you already sucked the extremely limited joy out of my favorite football team once, stay the **** away from the blues for the love of god.
