Jamie Carragher has warned supporters that Todd Boehly's latest comments prove the idea of a European Super League is not dead but merely in hibernation. This week, the Chelsea owner suggested that the Premier League should host an 'all-star' event similar to major United States sports.
Speaking at the SALT conference in New York on Tuesday, Boehly proposed a 'North vs South' match which would help raise money for the English football pyramid. He also suggested that the current automatic three-team relegation system should be scrapped in exchange for a four-team mini-tournament instead.
Raising eyebrows, the American billionaire asked: "Ultimately, I hope that the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports and really starts to figure out, ‘Why wouldn’t we do a tournament with the bottom four teams?'
