Could argue Neville works for sky sports out of desperation to stay involved in the game tbf. I donât think Thierryâs a cunt all of a sudden cos he also worked for them and doesnât mean they canât have an opinion.
I get it seems a bit hypocritical given his position but heâs not gonna say his own employer is ruining the game 
lol CBS telling this guy what to write at gunpoint

All Star games are a lot of fun, I think some of the pearl clutching about it from the British press is a little much.
There are already charity matches or testimonials that go on. The only difference is that Boehley wants to monetize it while pretending that it would have some sort of trickle down effect to poorer and smaller clubs. Thatâs what should get mocked. But some sort of stupid skills competition would be fun to watch. Go look up old MLS goalie wars itâs so stupid and so much fun.

Itâs never been a thing here or in any European country as itâs an embarrassment. Keep that for the MLS

Tbf the biggest issue is probably coming from the fact the guyâs been here 5 minutes.
The fact is though as @SRCJJ said these blokes are owners and will have a say going forward.
People threw that around a bit but idk. Clubs play friendly matches for charity all the time and nobody cares. Does the idea seem dumb? Yeah, especially the north-south split which reveals he doesnât actually know a ton about the landscape.
But I think the uproar has more to do with the messenger and how disingenuous he seems. The big clubs could help prop up the pyramid or agree to some sort of intense cost control and solidarity payments without any talk of an all star game.
Of course itâs dodgy⌠just imagine the loan and transfer shenanigans. Then imagine owning 10 teams.

The PL just set the records for transfer spending. Just 1% of the total expenditure would be transformative for many clubs in the pyramid

I agree - any initiative to help fund the lower leagues should be given due consideration in my book.
But coming from a ruthless American billionaire who just bought Chelsea for ÂŁ4bn - the guy doesnât give a shit about the lower leagues. Heâs got an angle and heâll have a profit / selfish motive behind it.
Itâs just so disingenuous.

Was some small rumblings they could have been in with a shot of getting Neymar in the summer wasnât there ? Thank fuck that didnât happen, unreal footballer.
North would quite easily win I think.
If they did anything like this though, they should limit the number of players per club.

Yeah itâd have to be 3 including the bench, otherwise itâs practically City/Liverpool vs Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs as you can see from the teams I chose lol.
Was debating rice over Jorginho/Kante for the South but thatâs about it from other clubs.
I basically went for fame over ability as i assumed thatâs what this would end up being, so had guys like Varane, Casemiro, Sterling and Ronaldo and not good lads like Odegaard, Zinchenko and Jesus.
