Dolphins manager, Stanley Eguma is adamant that one month will be inadequate for clubs to prepare for the new season.
Eguma, who was reacting to the decision of the League Management Company (LMC) to start the 2013/14 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season on November 22, believes a lot more time will be required to prepare the teams physically and mentally for the upcoming season.
He told supersport.com: "A one-month break will not be enough because it is very important that the players get sometime to rest after a long season.
"Then the coaches and the management need to strategise since the preparations have to do with finance.
"It is also very important that we regroup at the right time to ensure each member of the team is heading in the same direction and I doubt if all these can be achieved within a month."
Eguma also urged the LMC to revisit the live broadcast of NPFL matches before the commencement of the new season.
Even though the LMC has hinted there could be as many as five matches broadcast each weekend; Eguma insists the most contentious aspect of the live transmission has yet to be addressed.
"I hope they have a another look at the live telecast of matches," he told supersport.com.
"As it stands, only matches in the southern part of the country are being televised while those in the north are never covered.
"Why cover some and leave out some others? Where is the fair play in the league?
"Some stadia are television friendly, while others are not. The standards have to cut across to ensure fairness.
"I think issues like this ought to be resolved before the start of the new season.
