The Raptor 1,573 Posted November 15, 2021 Ridiculous just so a few people could line their pockets at FIFA. At least I have football manager to tide me over the drought! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,684 Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Big decisions on how to handle squads during this period. Whether they get a bit of time off or keep in training. Edit. Suspect maybe some friendlies get arranged Edited November 15, 2021 by KiwiScot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HertsCanary93 223 Posted November 15, 2021 Still crazy to believe the Qatar world cup is actually going to happen. While the corruption at FIFA really knows no bounds, I had kind of half expected a change of host at some point over the last 4/5 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 372 Posted November 15, 2021 If you are an EFL club which seems likely given our position. Taking out a month but ending the season as usual first week in May means fixtures will be more congested than normal. And a whole month without matches will lead to players losing their match fitness. More injuries are likely in this scenario. Infantino madness coming from Blatter/Platini greed, how about a World Cup every 12 months ask Arsene if will agree if his masters propose. FIFA greed stuff the players we want the money.
