It only benefits the top 6 teams who are in europe, do well in cup games and have international players in their team who play for their country. It doesn't really make a difference to the Leicester City's of the world.

Mid winter breaks are fine, if they are used to give the players a rest. However the Man U's of this world will just go on some shirt selling tour to Asia or wherever and so the players will have no break and will be probably be jet lagged.

£40k a week, only have to turn up and train in the morning, one 90 minute game a week, nice long summer break.
yep, sure sounds like they could do with another couple of weeks off

For the next 2 seasons, they're having a 2 week break in January.
Bunch of arse. Most of them will just jet off to China for a mini-tour or something. Absolutely pathetic. They train for 2 or 3 hours a day four days a week, play for 90 mins on a Saturday, but the poor lickle lambs still need a fortnight off in January. It will solve nothing. The season will have to go on longer into the summer, so in 2006 there will probably be NO gap between the end of the season & FA Cup Final, and the start of the World Cup. THEN just wait to hear those slags start whining.

trouble with midwinter breaks is, when do you have it? the weather at the moment (in blackburn at least) is bad, with frozen pitches etc. so you could decide to have the break in january.
but then, how do you predict when the worst weather will be next season when you work out the fixtures? you could end up having a break in january when the pitches are playable, then have bad weather in february, causing fixture congestion at the end of the season.
bad idea i reckon.
