But why? It's in my top three domestic competitions.
There are only 4, and the 4th is the EFL Trophy. So I'd imagine the League Cup is in most people's top 3!

So the possibility of a break is rearing it’s head again.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m pretty sure the bug clubs would just book friendlies in America and The Far East so it wouldn’t actually be a break. The idea in principle is good though, but then I think it would need to be coupled with dropping two clubs from the Prem and having an 18 Team League.
So it’s basically one weekend off. Seems fairly harmless.
Except that the main issue the players/coaches have is the fixture congestion. Having the weekend off just means that game is moved to another date, which if anything just increases fixture congestion. And by the time you factor in the inevitable friendlies in Dubai etc. they'll all end up playing, it'll mean they've played more games over the course of the season with an even more congested fixture list. This doesn't help anyone at all, except for teams wanting to make more money.
