Also it seems at odds with the 'international break' idea, ie its ok to play 3 premiership games in a week but not when there's an England friendly coming up.
He's a whiny twat. I do, sorta, feel sorry for the players, they see players in other countries having a break, then I remember how much they get paid. This is for us, not them.
Louis Van Gaal was whining about this too. Something about not been able to prepare his precious protégés properly. No time for team meetings and unit meetings and coaching feedback and opposition studification and other suchlike bollocks. Both him and the Sunlan elf-man seemed totally oblivious to the fact that the time constraints are exactly the same for both sides. This mealy mouthed, pompous, self-centered, unthinking, blinkered, whinge-fest boils my piss. If these overpaid, arrogant, foreign lickspittlers don't like managing English clubs why don't they **** off to somewhere with a nice winter climate and a seven week winter break? ****s.
