Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has apologized after the wording on a banner honoring late club great Ray Wilkins was tweaked while producers of TV show 바카라Ted Lasso바카라 filmed scenes at Stamford Bridge for one of its episodes. (More Football News)
Since Wilkins' death at the age of 61 in 2018, a banner has been on permanent display at Chelsea's stadium reading: 바카라They don't make them like Ray anymore.바카라
For the 바카라Ted Lasso바카라 episode that aired recently on Apple TV+, the wording on the banner was altered to say 바카라Roy바카라 instead of 바카라Ray바카라 바카라 a nod to a character in the series, Roy Kent, who is a fictional former Chelsea player returning to the club.
That led to some fans criticizing Chelsea, with the club's former stadium announcer, Neil Barnett, taking aim at Boehly and co-owner Behdad Eghbali 바카라 who led the purchase of the London team in May last year from Roman Abramovich 바카라 in a tweet late Wednesday.
Boehly, who rarely posts on Twitter, replied saying the new ownership 바카라had nothing to do (with) these arrangements바카라 and that a deal with Apple TV was struck at the start of 2022.
바카라We are sorry it affected so many and mostly we care about Ray and his family,바카라 Boehly said in his reply.
Ross Wilkins, the son of Ray Wilkins, didn't appear to take offense, tweeting Thursday: 바카라This is TV and certainly nothing to do with the new regime.바카라
The Chelsea Supporters' Trust said the banner was paid for by fans and many believe altering the wording was 바카라disrespectful.바카라
바카라We have expressed our disappointment to club officials,바카라 the trust said. 바카라We expect that CFC will address this in due course.바카라 (AP)
