It has definitely happened before can't recall the exact club or player but I recall a player saying that he would pay for any shirts that fans had bought to get the number corrected, strangely I think it involved Utds 7 shirt was it Valencia?
I think we actually changed it once, I’m sure Kane switched from 38 to 10 once Ade left. Kane confirmed on social media he/ the club would be covering the cost to any fans who’d previously bought Kane 38 shirts. That’s the only thing that needs doing in my opinion, if you wanna change a number then as long as you offer to reimburse the fans who’d bought the previous number then there shouldn’t be much of an issue.
I wouldn’t give anyone my number very emasculating Cavani will be half the player this season due to the psychological affect of it
Bale switched from 3 to 11 in the summer of 2012 and started the season with his new number. He may have offered to pay for new shirts for any fans that had already bought his old one, but no rules were ignored.
That’s OK then. I’m sure wearing 11 on his back rather than 3 was worth all the trouble. Personally I’d want to wear 666 or 5-4-3-2-1 or D-I-S-C-O. No, just kidding. I’d want 1-2-3-4. Take it Dee Dee.
So at which point will our pundits realise that The Sheikh Mansour Team have effectively blocked Phil Foden's development by spending £100m to have Jack Grealish play in the same position?
Since they have Grealish playing on the left when Foden usually plays right or central i suppose that point will never be reached.
Except for the minor detail that they don't: of the 49 games Foden played last season, 33 were...guess where...the left wing As opposed to the grand total of three on the right and nine as a CM Yeah, research goes a long way...
Chelsea FC has been fined £25,000 for two breaches of FA rule E20.1 which occurred during their Premier League fixture against Liverpool FC on Saturday 28 August 2021. Why bother?
Serious question Are there published accounts for the recording of income from 'fines' and/or any specific directions as to how this revenue is used by the FA? I'm sure there must be, but just have this image of them rubbing their hands with glee when they impose these otherwise pointless sanctions and planning a good night out...
