Todd needs to back off

HERE comes Todd Boehly (right), marching into the Premier League — the most successful, most watched and most envied league in the history of ‘soccer’ — instantly informing us that we need a North v South match and relegation play-offs. Aside from the obvious fixture congestion, there’s a very good reason why there wouldn’t be any appetite for an American-style North v South match. North America is a continent, the UK is much smaller. Culturally and geographically, the two nations are vastly different. I wouldn’t say we can’t make improve in different areas but don’t be telling us what we should be doing after five minutes in our game.
