International break spoiling football.

Recommended Posts

But why do teams like Wednesday, Middlesbrough ,United need to shut down for two weeks you can count their Internationals on one hand (if any).

what about teams theyre playing?

 

its easier to shut down the top leagues than it is to go through all the teams and see who might be missing players?

theres a massive gap between the saturday and wednesdays tho, some internationals are on saturday which is obviously a league day, and also a lot of league games get played on a tuesday which in theory would be also an international or the day before

Not that this answers the question but in the early 60's when international games came up, a First Division club could have their game postponed if they had at least two players that were on 'international duty', Them days it was the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United who had most players doing so. The Owls also with Ron Springett and Peter Swan. If a club had only one player called up then it was 'too bad'-Alan Hodgkinson at Blades for example- as the other league games went on and in the then Second Division Middlesbrough had to do without Brian Clough and play without him.
