Everton boss David Moyes has asked for the Premier League to consider closing the fixture list during January when the African Cup of Nations as on as so many teams lose their key players. Steven Pienaar has left for Everton.
"We were embroiled in trying to get Steven Pienaar out and everyone knows what happened there," Moyes said.
"You cannot win. But maybe now we have to consider if we close the Premier League season down during the African Nations Cup.
"That would be the correct respect for Africa and the players in it.
"If we want to bring players in from that part of the world we should be rightly allowed to do so, which we are, but it is not a fair playing field if you cannot field your best team."
