Bad idea IMO. It will gas the players, which means that EPL clubs might have trouble in the later stages of UCL, and England will have problems in the euros.
Should have been allowed for one year only. Some clubs would have 80 matches or so from the beginning of the restart until the end of next season, without a proper break. And then those players are supposed to play in euros.
I honestly don't understand why England goes always different from the rest of the world when it comes to football. It was the same thing with VAR, not implementing it in time, and then implementing it wrongly.
Its alright, luckily 3/4 of the Premier League won’t have that many matches as they aren’t playing in European competition. And the ones that are probably won’t play in the league cup, saving poor old Man City the pain and agony of playing SIX more games such is their obsession with the League Cup.
This way is good because it means for 3/4 of the PL who don’t have multi million pound subs, England internationals and don’t play in Europe they don’t have to go to the Etihad or Stamford Bridge every other week and watch City and Chelsea bring on £60 million pound subs five times in a game.
Luckily for the likes of Chelsea and City, because they’ve stock piled their squad down the years they should have enough to rotate during this unprecedented time of playing 4 matches more in a shorter space of time than they ever had.
I remember the covid restart thread where people were being dramatic, predicting deaths and serious illness to footballers. Predicting that there’d be an avalanche of injuries and that the football would be poor.
Can see this thread going a similar way......
Football doesn’t revolve around the top six and doing everything to cater for them and make their life easier. This is why this vote has gone the way it has. Burnley, Leeds etc do not care about England internationals maybe or maybe not being tired next summer. They do not care or are worried about maybe or maybe not being exhausted from playing in European competition....
