Why would it tarnish his Legacy as a Footballer. Players play in all sorts of leagues and places. Going to play for a Saudi club doesn’t mean he wants all the Homosexuals banned or shunned. I mean do People check where did the Gas they fill in their Vehicles come from and boycott a petrol pump because the product came from a Saudi Oil field ? Playing in the EPL doesn’t mean that the Players love Monarchy or support UK’ govt policies… Are all Newcastle players homophobic and/or support the Saudi bombings of Yemen?

Same what happened to Juventus back in mid 2000’s… some will stay with the team, some will get loaned out and some sold. Depends a lot on to which division they get relegated to. If I remember correctly Juve got relegated to Serie B and came back to serie A next season … If it’s the same for Man City then I guess some players will get loaned out for a year/season at max. TBH, I highly doubt they’ll get relegated, maybe stripped off the Title, some heavy Financial penalties and shit like that

Alan Shearer for Newcastle, Yakubu for Portsmouth.
