Surely this will marginalise FFA even more with the clubs... how long til FIFA take over?
I doubt it. Suspect it has had input and has support from the club owners group as it seems to be aligned with international windows being observed from next season as well which is leaking at the same time.
The reality is that it earns appeasement from AFC and helps the clubs align for Asian club competitions where they are restricted to 3+1.
Of all the things FIFA and AFC might take action on this would be near the bottom of the list.
