Well Done Crewe There's no need for players to have such a long period of time off and a club have finally realised it.
So they should. They get paid all that money to play football and the break is too long. If I remember rightly Ron Atkinson did something similar at Sheff Wednesday and they did well that season. Jesus I wished I worked 2 days a week for that money!!
