Winter break under discussion before new TV deal

[wolves71]

If it's discussed properly and there's benefits to the players and football clubs, then i'm all for it. But not if clubs then decide to travel half way across the atlantic to play a pointless friendly.

Well this has been approved and comes in for the 2019/20 season. One weekend off in February. I wonder what the excuses will be when England fail again at another major international tournament?

1. The winter break hasn't been in force long enough to make any significant impact on performance.

2. Johnny Foreigner has had the break longer than we have meaning we'll always be playing catch up.

3. Winter break or not the 'fact' Johnny Foreigner's a cheating, diving b@st@rd should never be overlooked despite him being little or no worse than our bunch of cheating diving b@st@rds.

4. The wrong type of snow fell prior to the break wrecking training grounds up and down the country.

5. Hurricane B@ll@cks unexpectedly blew in from the East to freeze pitches during March causing a fixture backlog leading to extreme fatigue among the players prior to whichever tournament.

6. It's all down to those nasty, racist octogenarian b@st@ards who voted for Brexit.

7. The national team isn't quite good enough to mix it with the big boys probably won't make it onto any list of excuses from the FA, but I thought it may be worthy of mention at number seven regardless.
