Re: Dangerous stand
OK - move Burnley CC to Lowerhouse CC. You'd think Lowerhouse residents would be happier about supporting a club with the town's name in it. If they aren't happy, for whatever reason, then find some suitable land in Lowerhouse to relocate them. Problem solved.

A loan agreement for a player is an agreement between two clubs, in this case Burnley and Besiktas.

So, Wout Weghorst's contract with Burnley was written such that if Burnley were to be relegated Wout Weghorst would go out on loan to another club in a top division - and that is the basis that Wout Weghorst signed for Burnley.
