Re: Season 2026/2027

Arsenal signing Bruno from Newcastle will no doubt change their fortunes for the upcoming season. There's a lot of smoke that the club want to go big on a player. It didn't look like they were convinced of Morgan Rogers. The money's there to be spent.

If they don't want to play then they should not be picked again.

Now we wait for the punishment that will fit the seriousness of all the guilty charges.

In legal terms, you can request an appeal, but unless there are sufficient grounds, that appeal can be refused.
There must be examples amongst the 114 charges that are "slam dunk" with no possibility of denial. Start punishing for those and add more punishments later. They shouldn't be allowed to delay things any longer than they already have.

He may mean what used to be called Division 4 (which was the lowest level of Professional Football at the time), and the lowest level is now called League 2 (Premier League, EFL, Championship, League 1, League 2)

A relegation clause or not, being paid £100k a week to kick a ball around in the lower leagues takes some beating ;)

There is the impact on their future career. Their performance cannot be properly judged, so their value goes down.

If they are relegated, they’ll be subject to EFL rules rather than EPL, which are a lot tighter on the financial side, while the expensive players will want to play at the top level to stand a chance of representing their country. That could lead to an exodus of players who get £100k+.

When Rangers were relegated in 2012, it took years for them to recover.

Looks like Real might be interested in getting him on the cheap.
