Michael Brown discusses the fictional North/South All-Star team of Pete Graves and Tom White, following Todd Boley’s hopes for a Premier League All-Star game.
“Ultimately, I hope the Premier League takes a few lessons from American sports,” Boley said. “And what I’m really starting to understand is, why not have a tournament with the bottom four sports teams? Why not have an All-Star Game?
“People are talking about more money for the Pyramid. This year’s MLB All-Star Game made $200 million from Monday and Tuesday.
“So whatever the Pyramids call for, we think we can easily make a Premier League North vs. South All-Star game.”

Chelsea were scheduled to play Liverpool on Sunday, but the match was postponed due to expanded police resources following the Queen’s death.
Sunday’s postponement follows a major postponement of the football calendar last weekend and means Liverpool have two games to fit an already crowded schedule ahead of the World Cup.
Klopp was therefore less impressed with Boley’s suggestion earlier in the day that the Premier League should introduce a US-style All-Star Game between teams in the north and south of England.
“He won’t wait long. He can call me when he finds that date,” he added. I’m very happy to be able to do a little sport in these breaks because I forget that there is a .In football it’s completely different.
“He wants to bring the Harlem Globetrotters too?
“I’m surprised by the question, so don’t judge my answer too much. But he might explain it to me at some point and be able to find a suitable date.” I don’t know if you want to see it. Just imagine. [Manchester] United, Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle players are in one team, just the North team, not the national team. funny game.
“All the guys in London together. Arsenal, Tottenham. Great. Did he really say that? Interesting.”
How could the North and South teams line up…
“Everyone likes the idea of wanting to earn more money.”

Given that US sports aren’t involved in the idea of relegation, when asked about his views on relegation, Boley replied:
“When you get into the championship, those numbers drop off a cliff. So no one thinks about tanking, and those relegation games are some of the best broadcast games.”

Chelsea sacked Tuchel last week after new owners Boley and Behdad Egbari conducted a 100-day review of the Blues’ early tenure.
Graham Potter has been appointed as the new head coach on a five-year deal, and Chelsea’s new chief has decided that the new manager will lead the club long-term.
Boehly acknowledged for the first time on record that Tuchel’s resignation centered on differences of opinion and vision.

Chelsea’s new head coach Graham Potter says he wants to create his own legacy at the club.
“When you take over a business, you have to align yourself with the people running the business,” says Boehly.
“Tuchel is obviously very talented and someone who has had great success with Chelsea. Our vision for the club was to find a manager who really wanted to work with us, a coach who really wanted to work with us.
“Chelsea have a lot of walls to break down. Previously, the top team and academy didn’t really share data, nor did they share information about where top players came from.
“Our goal is to put together a team, all of which need to be well-oiled machines. No one was right or wrong, it just wasn’t a shared vision of the future.

Boley also confirmed plans for Chelsea to operate a multi-club model, similar to Manchester City.
Boehly adds: We talked about the multi-club model. I want to continue to leave footprints. ”
