About this listen

In the fourth episode of the ground-breaking podcast What Has America Ever Done for Us?, journalist and broadcaster Ashley Byrne dives into the world of football finance with Dr. Dan Plumley, a leading expert on sports economics. With American investors owning a significant portion of British football clubs, what does this mean for the future of the game? Is football in Britain now shaped by American priorities? And is this a takeover we should embrace—or be wary of? From financial power plays to shifting club identities, we explore how the U.S. influence is transforming the sport fans once considered untouchable.
