I haven't voted yet because I don't see the "Hell F-ing No!" option.
I understand the money issue. I understand the appealing to the global fanbase issue. That's what the summer is for. There should be a self-imposed "friendlies window" of sorts, only open between mid/end of May and the first week of August.
Besides, one of the cases put forth for friendlies is so that youngsters/fringe players get some exposure. We already play those in-season exhibitions anyway: they're called Carling Cup matches.
