‘What a name’ ‘Fans will love this new name instead’ – Chelsea fans reacted to latest Todd Boehly possible Chelsea renaming club
It was reported since Todd Bhoely alongside other billionaires took over the ownership of Chelsea Football Club, there have been series of changes being witnessed at the club.
However, in a recent interview, Bhoely has made it public the owners’ intention to rename the club’s name to ‘London Cowboys’.
Recall he also recently made it known of his desire that an All-star match should be played at the end of each season in the English Premier League between the major big clubs, renaming Chelsea is another announcement by the American.
Well this so called name , A “London Cowboys” banter is doing rounds on social media with Chelsea fans joking that this is how Todd Boehly will rename Chelsea.
Obviously, some reports claims it’s not true, while some claims its true.
Let’s take a look at Chelsea fans reactions below:
On September 15, a satirical website Soccer On Sunday published a fake news post titled “Chelsea to be renamed the ‘London Cowboys’, Announces Boehly”.
A made-up Boehly interview reads: “Fans will love the new name. Every time Aubama…Auyanga….every time our offense scores a 1 pointer, all the Cowboy fans in the Boehly Bowl will go nuts. That reminds me, the stadium is also being renamed.
“These changes are only the start, Long-term I see the Cowboys franchise relocating to Boston or New York. I’m sure our wonderful fans won’t mind taking a long-haul flight to every home game. Probably we’ll throw in 10% off any pretzel at the Boehly Bowl for those who make the trip.
“Could someone send in Harry Potter please? I’ve a hankering to sack someone.”
This is a hilarious take on Boehly’s recent suggestion to launch a US-style Premier League All-Stars game.
The joke about renaming, as well as other parts of the made-up interview such as “offense”, “1-pointer”, “Boehly bowl”, make fun of Boehly’s perceived Americanness. The new Chelsea owner is being ridiculed for not understanding how football works and trying to force the American way into the Premier League.
