Fitness expert Shaun T believes football seasons should be shortened during a World Cup year to avoid burn out.

"At some point you are going to max out. It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter how fit you are at some point if you over train you will max out," he tells the BBC.

"What I would suggest to football managers and teams is that maybe in a World Cup year you shorten the season so that there's a small break. I think it's very irresponsible to have someone train for more than six months. You can't complain about a team losing if you haven't given them a break."

The athletics season gets into full swing in Doha today with the first meeting of the Diamond League series. In his latest column, Steve Cram explains why this is an important year and looks at what could be in store for some of the sport's biggest names.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore on the FA commission's plan for a B-team league: "We all understand the issue. How do you take all this investment and progress in youth development and from 18 onwards convert them into players who are capable of holding their own in the Premier League and becoming England qualified talent.

"That is the challenge we all have. I can't contradict what I have said before many times before and truly believe. I don't believe we should be interrupting or wrecking the pyramid of English football to achieve that. We must see if there is a credible alternative before we go decimating the Football Conference and the Football League. That is something we need to try and protect almost at all costs."
