The row that is distracting Jürgen Klopp from his Liverpool duties

The Times' exclusively reported that a Premier League all-star XI could take on all-star teams from Spain's LaLiga, Italy's Serie A and Germany's Bundesliga in a global All-Star of world football. The prestigious British newspaper reports on the possibility of organising these All-Stars "around the world as a means of boosting global audiences".

Todd Boehly, the first Premier League All Star ideologue: "Everyone likes the idea of more revenue" Todd Boehly, Chelsea's American co-owner, is the forerunner for the Premier League to organise an All Star similar to the NBA, NFL or MLB. The Chelsea owner added: "I hope the Premier League learns a bit of a lesson from American sports in terms of management and promotion and really starts to realise.... Why isn't there an All Star Game?" the Chelsea co-owner told a conference in New York, where he stressed the need to help the English football structure continue to raise money and promote itself around the world. Everyone likes the idea of more revenue for the Premiership? There is a cultural aspect that is real and the evolution will come.

Boehly added: "Everyone likes the idea of more revenue for the Premiership.... There is a cultural aspect that is real and the evolution will come. The good thing about the Premier League is that you have the worldwide rights." Jürgen Klopp was asked about Todd Boehly's proposal to create a Premier League All Star Game. The Liverpool manager's response was blunt: "Excellent. When you find a date for that, you can call me. You forget that in the big sports in America they have four-month breaks, so they're very happy to be able to do a bit of sport in these breaks. It's completely different in football.

He forgets that in big sports in America they have four-month breaks, so they're very happy to be able to do a bit of sport in these breaks "Do you want to bring in the Harlem Globetrotters as well and let them play in a football team?", Klopp ironised. This is what the North vs South Premier League All-Star game proposed by the Chelsea owner would look like.

Klopp still on board with Boehly's proposal

The difference between the global All-Star game that 'The Times' is talking about and the Chelsea owner's proposal is that Todd Boehly is not proposing a world All-Star of Premier League stars against the stars of Spain, Italy, France or Germany. Boehly's idea would be to hold an annual 'North vs South Premier League All-Star game', a North vs South All-Star match in which players from Liverpool and Manchester, among others, would face the stars of the London teams.
