      Manchester City, Tottenham and Sunderland have also appeared in similar shows – and all have proved huge ratings successes.
      And according to CBS, Chelsea could be the next Premier League giant to be subject to the fly on the wall documentary.
      Amazon believe they have a chance of getting the Blues to agree to the show due to the club’s new American owner, Boehly.
      Under Roman Abramovich, the club was against any such involvement.

      Boehly and Co are said to have “an appetite” to be filmed.
      Documenting Chelsea has a lot of promise, with the new ownership looking to make a long-term investment in new manager Graham Potter.
      The ex-Brighton boss was appointed after Champions League-winning boss Thomas Tuchel was sacked in September.
      CBS’ Ben Jacobs goes on to state Amazon would also like to do a series with newly mega-rich Newcastle.

      Filming the Magpies could come first, however, the Magpies’ owners, PIF, have reservations and “want guarantees there will be no anti-Saudi angle”.
      SunSport exclusively revealed in August that both Netflix and Amazon were involved in a bidding war to document Manchester United.
      A source said: “The story of the rebuild of Manchester United under Erik ten Hag, the future of Cristiano Ronaldo and the campaign to remove the Glazer family from the club is like a Hollywood movie in itself.
      “That’s why the club has become the new target for both Amazon Prime and Netflix producers and offers have gone in several times.
      “Producers have made great play of the fact a programme would be a chance for the directors to show a different side to their role at the club, much like the way Arsenal’s owners did in All or Nothing.
      “So far United haven’t given the idea the green light. But the interest remains strong and is unlikely to go away.” More

      Manchester City, Tottenham and Sunderland have also appeared in similar shows – and all have proved huge ratings successes.
      SunSport understands that Manchester United are the top of the list for the bosses of streaming giants – and they are willing to pay MILLIONS for it.

      The streaming giants are prepared to pay Man Utd a huge sum to allow the cameras inside the club.

      Thomas Tuchel loves Amazon’s All or Nothing docs and is ‘open’ to Chelsea following Arsenal, Spurs and Man City

      THOMAS TUCHEL loves fly-on-the wall football documentaries — but is in no particular hurry to star in one himself.After Spurs and Manchester City, Arsenal are the latest Premier League club to let Amazon Prime cameras follow them for a season.

      When it was put to Tuchel that a behind-the-scenes series about Chelsea’s turbulent 2021-22 campaign would have been TV gold, the Blues boss said with a rueful laugh: “Yes, it would have been.
      “We had these discussions many times. They started even in Dortmund and, as you can imagine, in Paris Saint-Germain we had these discussions pretty often.
      “Here, as you know, I enjoy it so much that it’s purely about football in this building and in this club. It is still one of the biggest joys and why I love it so much to be here.
      “To be honest, I watch the football documentaries also because I am curious and I want to see it.

      “I 100 per cent would have watched it as a kid over and over again. But at the same time, I’m not so sure you see everything.
      “Maybe it’s new times and maybe at some point we will have to be open to it. I’m quite happy I was not asked the question so far — but let’s see, we are always open to new ideas.”
      When Tuchel WAS asked the killer question about whether Chelsea could be contenders for the Premier League title without further signings, he was not exactly talking up his club’s credentials.
      Ahead of hosting rivals Tottenham this afternoon, the Blues boss said: “I don’t want to limit our ambitions artificially at the beginning of August.

      “And I don’t want to put pressure on us by putting out any number that we want to reach.
      “If you ask me if I feel confident enough that we can win the next match then, yes, I believe we can.
      “So we’ll prepare to beat Tottenham, which is a big ask at the moment, and which is a big match for us and a tough opponent.
      “And then we must go step by step, and this is a luxury that we deserve at the moment. We are in a bit of a delay. This is nobody’s fault. It’s the reality.”
      Chelsea’s new regime, fronted by chairman Todd Boehly has already spent some £165million on new players this summer.
      But it may not be enough to close the gap on champions Manchester City and Liverpool.
      Tuchel said: “I gave him a list and it would have been possible to fight straight for the title — but that was a pretty unrealistic list.
      “We can play fantasy football! But in the end we need to pay for it, we need to convince players and other clubs to give us their very best players — it’s simply not happening.
      “But I’m super happy with what we have succeeded with so far.
      “Maybe it is finished and we don’t do anything else and we fight with this squad.
      “If it’s not finished, we try to implement further quality and with this further quality, of course, the ambition level rises.” More

      And they’re looking to strike a deal to go behind the scenes at St James’ Park.
      That’s according to The Daily Mail, who claim Amazon want to film the newly-rich North East club for the duration of the 2023/24 season.
      The season would hit the silver screen in the summer of 2024 and could provide a unique insight into life at the club since the Saudi-led takeover last October.
      Amazon chiefs, however, will face an uphill battle to convince the Newcastle brass to give them all access as they’ve already turned down multiple offers from production companies.

      But they could very well change their mind if they receive a suitable offer from the broadcaster – who would provide them with a huge platform to expand as a global brand.
      The latest season of All or Nothing is focused on Arsenal – with episodes on the North Londoners’ 2021/22 campaign being released intermittently.
      And Gunners defender Gabriel Magalhaes believes the show has given an accurate depiction of life at the Emirates.
