• Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher have slammed Todd Boehly's ideas about the creation of a Premier League All-Star game

Premier League legends Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher have joined a long list of footballers and football personalities in criticising Chelsea owner Boehly's idea of a Premier League All-Star game.

Boehly floated the idea a few days ago, something which has drawn a number of strong oppositions from pundits and fans.

Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry and Carragher said that Boehly was "incredibly arrogant" to suggest that idea. The American, who purchased Chelsea, a few months ago, said that the idea will help increase broadcasting revenue for the football pyramid. The Liverpool legend couldn't believe what he heard.

When I look at that statement I think is incredibly arrogant to speak about a league that you don't know.

I don't particularly like those ideas but to come and speak like that when he's not even proved that he can run a Premier League club well yet. I mean he's sacked a manager after three games having spent £250million. Straight away you're thinking 'that's not right.

Arsenal legend Henry said he doesn't like those ideas because it is European football.

I don't like them. This is Europe and it doesn't work like that. teams go up and down, All-Star game for what?

The Chelsea owner has caused a stir on social media with his ideas, even eliciting a reaction from Profesional Footballers Association (PFA) spokesperson and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

Boehly suggested that the Premier League needs to have a North vs South All-Star game, like the NBA. He also added that a four-team tournament should decide which teams get relegated as opposed to the bottom three who go down.
