I'm surprised it's taken this long to be proposed.
Would make a lot of sense as postposing 1/3 of all games every weekend for a few weeks isn't sustainable, nor very fair
The problem is, if you have some teams getting games under their belts and others not, the others will have to cram them into a tight schedule which might well have a negative impact on the performances.
So imagine if you're Liverpool, who haven't had a game called off yet, you're quite happy to play at a normal pace as long as possible.
We're already 3 games down and will struggle to find time to play them.
You'd rather play 1-2 games a week, week on week, than have 3 weeks off and have to play 9 games in 15 days to make up for it. Especially if a lot of those games are against your rivals 2 days after the last game when they had 4 days rest.

i would suggest staggering the teams without games,but COVID probably wouldn't play ball
There's no summer tournament, why not just postpone the season for a couple of weeks and extend it at the end of the season?
With so many clubs affected now it seems almost inevitable that the planned break in January-February gets moved to over the holidays.
The league requires a 2/3 majority to pass a vote doesn't it? And 2/3 out of the clubs are definitely affected by the virus right now so I can understand the clubs pushing for it.
Because, unfortunately, there is a winter tournament. Would mean finishing the season in June and probably starting it again in July, stopping for a WC in the winter then restarting the league.
Personally, I'd bin all international football off for now. It's fucking tedious shit and is just helping spreading covid anyway
Could do, but there could just as easily be another outbreak after the 2 week break. IMO better to just get games played where possible. No doubt some games will get moved way back in the season already.
So Fabinho and VVD have Covid. I said earlier by the time thus matche happens we could have the best chance we have of a result...or it gets caned.
Isn't it the great nations league in the summer? Another pointless competition. :contefacepalm:
Yep. They should just cancel it. It is utterly pointless. Plus 2 of England’s games will be behind closed doors anyway.
That heap of shit should have never been conceived.
Needs binning now and embarrassing that they held the draw for it yesterday in the current European situation
I’m struggling to think of any club who hasn’t been hit with it. Villa, Leeds, Soton, Newcastle?
Yeah. I didn’t watch a single one of England’s matches in the last one and still don’t have any idea how we did or who won. Utterly pointless and up there with friendlies for me.
Villa has it within their coaching staff at least. Dunno about the actual playing squad.
On the day, yeah.
