Not a 2 month winter break though! That pushes the league further into the summer which becomes stupid in Spain and other Mediterranean countries (though would probably be OK here - works fine in RL).mikeg13 wrote:Once its moved, it will set a precedent, at mo it costs the big hitters in European game fair amount as they cant do there commercial games, that each season bring in more and more, a winter break is already in place in most of the relevant leagues and that would suit the Barcas, Reals Bayarn etc clubs very nicely thank you. Would think that most of the TV companies could live with it as well.blahblah wrote:The inevitable is another step closer...
Dont think FIFA understand what they stand to lose by going down this route, its giving the power of there flagship comp and major money spinner to UEFA (or at least a few of the clubs in Europe)
The Brits won't want a year end comp (xmas fixtures) and the Jan-Feb idea is, I think, when the Winter Olympics are on and the Gridiron rubbish gets near its conclusion to annoy the US TV folks.
PS What has it got to do with UEFA to have this vote today?? It is a FIFA competition....
