Didn't ManU play a mid season mid-week exhibition match in Saudi a few years ago? I think they were complaining about exhaustion too | | | |

The days of a manager influencing a clubs views on anything are long gone | | | |

I'm genuinely very interested to see how the managers react to this. I can't imagine they'll be happy and will somewhat be thrown under the bus having to deal with the questions. | |

Agreed - was thinking the same to be honest. I'd guess that someone like Oli will just go with corporate stance, I think Pep isn't really worried about domestic football, I'd have a hunch that Klopp would be opposed to it though and could see him being more "honest" As for Mourinho - god knows what that man thinks - he'll probably claim he invented the concept whilst suggesting it's an awful idea. | | | |

So there'll only be 30 games a year for the poor souls to earn their 100k a week. | |

Still think it is a power play by the ‘big’ six to get control of EPL. | |
