I would imagine there's quite a few people who would love to turn their backs on Croydon. Absolute shithole with a terrible one-way system :D

I did some research before finding a club for my boy this year. A comment from a current PL coach was "if it was my son I'd send him to Croydon". Heard very good things about their junior set up.
That's what you're gonna get if you ask Mark Brazzale :wink:

I think we're talking about different Croydons :lol:

Close the season for a month, not to mention only a few days break and they'll be back playing for their clubs.

I still hope leagues just refuse to change their schedules and make players choose where their loyalties are. Put in players contracts that they will make themselves unavailable for the 2022 World Cup.

I understand you're frustration but that would really allowing the tail to wag the dog.

The FA's of England, Spain, Germany and France are more powerful than FIFA. Imagine if they all refused to change their league timetables.

I suppose the league's could all be played at the same time, however any player called up for an official game would be banned from playing for their clubs.

That would require the FA's to enforce the bans.

Also, the clubs can just put into any new contracts that they won't play in that World Cup. The players just make themselves unavailable for selection and are then able to play for their clubs.
