Let's face it, giving Todd Boehly stick for his All-Star Game idea is like kicking a puppy.
Chelsea’s American owner could not have made himself an easier target had he dressed up as a giant coconut. Where do you want to start with this ridiculous idea? Where do the Midlands clubs fit in? Are players from Wolves, Aston Villa, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest eligible for both teams in this Premier League special? And that is a relatively minor quibble.
There is scheduling, there is the fundamental misunderstanding of the psyche of football fans on these shores. It is fundamentally partisan - we support only our club, our club is the only thing we care about.
