EFL chief supports Todd Boehly idea despite Gary Neville backlash and Chelsea Ivan Toney plan

Todd Boehly's idea of an All-Star game might have broken the internet and received harsh backlash from fans and pundits but those that it might affect most have been relatively quiet.

Outside of the Premier League players that would be playing in the game, almost everyone else in the sporting world has given their thoughts on the event. Jurgen Klopp was asked about it less than six hours after Boehly's original idea had been briefly raised at the now famous SALT conference in New York.

Boehly's words, which were given in innocence, have caused quite the stir on the football scene and the new co-owner has been caught amongst a lot of flack. Largely due to his nationality and the creeping American influence on English football his words were misconstrued and taken out of hand before his sentence had even been finished.
