Finally, the Premiership came to its senses (and the EFL), joining UEFA competition in hitting the pause button for at least three weeks.

Everyone knows it will 99.99% likely last much longer than that.

Heck, I’d say it’s 80/20 likely that even this summer’s European Euros are not happening.  My humble recommendation would be to have it somewhere warm-ish during an extended winter break (time it to synch up with the African Euros?), eliminate the domestic cups to make the season more manageable.  But ain’t nobody ask me.
