Nonsense,it's much better having a complete day to get all done,do a good training n whatever, pre season tournament while super league already starts at day 1, and cup, what a nonsense ,there is no time..
Some people finish there day 26 with last league match late ,maybe 23 pm here in Europe ,then they go to bed,next morning awake with new season,and you talk about pre season tournament,hilarious
Manager don't want to wake up on Sunday to find out cup first leg or super League was already played while they were sleeping or whatever....
I met plenty of manager in 4 years playing who are pissed of having a,cup match or super league ,not knowing about it before they go to sleep,then wake up n log in n see,Damn already played... one day off is perfect If they do that,then everyone can prepare the squad,but that's something you yourself might not needothers do...
