The Premier League´s controversial ´39th step´ proposal faces its D-Day on Thursday, with the 20 clubs being offered several watered-down alternatives.The club chairmen are holding their summer meeting in Leicester over the next two days, and plans for some form of international expansion are top of the agenda.A number of different options - including the infamous ´international round´ - will be debated by the 20 clubs, and it looks likely that the original idea for each club to play a 39th league match in a foreign country will be abandoned in favour of a less controversial option.
