Honestly, I think the fine is fair game here. £60,000 and a two-week suspension might seem rough, but at the end of the day, professional footballers have a responsibility. They’re role models, whether they like it or not, and the league’s gotta send a message that there’s no room for missteps that could impact the team or the sport’s integrity.
It’s not just about punishing one guy; it’s about setting a standard for the whole league.
