(Reuters) - Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp said on Friday that it was crucial that Premier League clubs and stakeholders continue to discuss how to improve English football after the controversial proposals in 'Project Big Picture' came to light.
The proposals would have increased funds for the 72 clubs in the Football League but also included special voting rights for the biggest clubs in the Premier League and a reduction of teams in the top flight from 20 to 18.
"It's important we speak about it, there's space for improvement within football," Klopp told reporters ahead of Saturday's Merseyside derby against league leaders Everton. "It's not a problem. There are things we can improve and I really think if you improve them now before the real problems arrive in the future, then that's what I think people are trying to do."Saturday marks 10 years to the day since Everton last beat Liverpool in the derby and Klopp is wary of how Carlo Ancelotti has turned around the Toffees' fortunes as they sit top of the league with a 100% record after four games.
