The difference between him and Todd Boehly is insane

[@josouthwood438]

Yeah, he said he's not an arrogant american who wants to change everything. A clear swipe at Todd boehly and Tom Brady

[@DaveSeville-sf1ku]

@harrymills Millwall American owner is excellent, hes put a lot of money into the club. Only FSG, Glazers and Boehly are bad Yank owners

[@monti3699]

As a Bournemouth fan I am super happy to have him a the owner! Slowly improving every area of the club!

[@8BitJesus]

What a great sounding owner!

[@BabsW]

Notice that he's using British football terms and not American sports ones. Humble guy.

[@JackJackJack123]

He created without question the most successful expansion team in NHL history. I’m sure he’ll do the same at Bournemouth.

[@kaykaye]

1st thing I noticed 💯

[@spime93]

I'm sorry, but why are the English so pissy about words? Even if he spoke with American terms, that doesn't change who he is.

Can’t help but like the guy, he’s fully invested In That club

[@Mr_Linka]

Having an ownership model that actually want to invest in the whole infrastructure of the club is an amazing thing, and looking at Bournemouth from afar I think they’ve got themselves top drawer owners?

[@BrentTJo]

As a long time American Bournemouth fan (yeah I'm different) he is absolutely a great owner and any club that he went and bought would without question get better and move up a rung or two.

[@Hae_Haelo]

This owner is good. He has ambition beyond making big bucks. Good for the club.

As a Brighton fan it’s good this fella seems to be doing the right things, building stability in the correct way

[@dannyb016]

I think a lot people involved with the club see Brighton as the blueprint (probably rest of the league as well tbf). You guys are turning water into wine over there! With any luck the cherries can come close to that with the investment and new infrastructure they're putting in place ⬆🍒

[@ozzyprogdomino8815]

@@dannyb016 It refreshing to see. We are incredibly lucky to have Tony Bloom as our owner, other fans (top six plastics) don't understand why we regard stability and running the our club without risking it's future more important then trophies. As a cherries fan you know where we are coming from. Up the Albion 🙂

[@GLarrr-dd5wf]

Same plan as his last project... Well, that's confidence for you. I always say if it works, then don't change it. Keep that practice going. I'm not even a Bournemouth fan, but I'm excited for them. Go Bournemouth, you've got a great leader in your club. Even Birmingham City is doing it. American investors are fantastic at business.❤

It’s such exciting times being an AFCB supporter, Bill Foley is an excellent owner and delivers what he says! We also have Andoni Iraola as manager, he is also excellent, very smart and articulate and makes substitutions at the right times not 2 minutes before the end of a game….Shame to lose Richard Hughes though…..

As a Canadian who’s a Manchester United supporter I can tel you American owners are trash (Glazers) BUT I can tell you that if you wanted ONE guy it’s Foley… He’s all about the “built it up to last” type guy. He’s won a Stanley Cup with Vegas Golden Knights and has built an great “academy” team in the Henderson Silver Knights. Bill Foley went to West Point (a U.S. Army Military academy) so he knows how to built something with structure and toughness… as a United fan I wish he would have bought United.
