Although Todd Boley has not yet "closed" half a year as the owner of Chelsea, he already has far-reaching ideas regarding the Premier League - and it is not certain that the fans in England will like them.
The American billionaire participated in a conference in New York and, among other things, called for an All-Star game, just like in the various sports in his homeland.
"I hope that in the Premier League they will learn a little from American sports," said Bolly and immediately wondered: "Why isn't there an All-Star game? Why not have a tournament (playoffs) between the last four, after which the three relegated will be determined? It is possible to have an All-Star game between the North and the South and earn a large amount of money that will go into the league." .
Boli also demanded the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel about a week ago and said: "There is no doubt that he is a talented coach and that he had great success at Chelsea. But we wanted to find a coach who wanted to cooperate with us and we were not sure that Thomas saw eye to eye with us. We did not have the same vision for the future. The decision was not made because of one game"

Boli owns, among other things, the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team and he said that his idea regarding the All-Star should focus on the northern teams from the cities of Liverpool and Manchester, and the southern teams that will be mainly in London.
The coach of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp, heard the words and was asked about them after the 1:2 victory over Ajax yesterday.
"He didn't wait long...", Klopp said, "Great. When he finds a date for the All-Star game, he'll call me. He forgets that in the major sports in the US the players have a four-month break.
Football here is completely different.
Maybe he also wants to bring the Harlem Globetrotters here to start playing football?". The
German added: "I'm not sure the fans would want to see something like that, after all, it's not a national team.
One team with players from United, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle... interesting.
And on the other side, a team that combines players from London, Arsenal with Tottenham, really great.
Did he really say that?
interesting".
