it would end up impacting three seasons really , the season the world cup is held in, whether that be 2021/22 or 2022/23, would have the extended break to allow the tournament to be held.
the season before would have to finish early , and the season after would end up having to start later
given we are already seeing a lot of complaints about players playing all year around , and with clubs doing more and more summer tours for commercial reasons, I just don't see how all of that disruption can be justified to allow what was always a terrible decision to proceed.
