He noted that, the reasons given for the break were valid, adding that, all the clubs accepted the decision before it was made public. “I believe the break was very necessary. If you are educated on the circumstances through which the league was postponed, it would make you understand the fact that sometimes you plan, you make your schedules and fixtures, but it gets to a point you have no choice than to change it,” he said.
