It's £££. They make loads of money from sponsorship/TV deals etc so someone is wondering why they restrict that income to only every four years. Only as wingy points out none of them have the nous to think that doing it more often will result in less interest and thus diminishing returns.
As much as I love international tournaments this is a step too far. We shouldn’t be surprised though. They already managed to shoehorn another 8 and 16 teams into the Euros and World Cup respectively. It wasn’t that long ago where that was the total number of teams taking part in each! Tournaments are special and increasing their occurrence is devaluing them.
