English football winter break 'agreed in principle' for 2020

By Sky Sports News


Wednesday 18th April 2018


The FA, Premier League and EFL are close to agreement over the introduction of a winter break, Sky Sports News understands.


The FA council were being briefed on Wednesday on the progress of talks which were prompted by FA chief executive Martin Glenn almost two years ago.

Sky Sports News understands the majority of planned changes are agreed in principle - with the first break pencilled in for January and February in 2020.

If agreed, one round of Premier League matches would be played over two weeks, giving clubs a break from league action.

In return, the FA Cup fifth round will be played in midweek, with extra-time and penalties replacing replays.


It is also understood that some members of the FA council are unhappy they have not played a bigger part in negotiations, with talks having been carried out at board level.

Teams on a break from league action would be allowed to travel abroad for training camps.

However, money-making tours in the US or Far East would not be received so well.

So how will the league stop tours of the US and Far East? Answer they won't. A winter break is just a money making scam for the big clubs.
