Throughout the European leagues, the players take a 2-week break from late December to Early January to celebrate the xmas, to be with their families and possibly come back fresher and 1 or 2 pounds heavier. (Rooney would probably put on a stone)
Although it would mean less entertainment for ourselves , I do feel the players deserve the break and would be happier come the first sat in January.
Surely we could find ways to be entertained through sport or other means.
It would probably mean the season would have to start 1st weekend in Aug to fit the Xmas fixtures within the season. Or else maybe trim the Prem league from 20 teams to 18.
What do you think?
Although i'd miss the footie, I'd like to see it, for the sake of the players and possible trimming down of the Premier league.
