Do red cards cost money?
Yes, red cards can certainly cost clubs money. Players like Cole Palmer receive fines for being sent off, which are usually a percentage of their weekly wage. Clubs also face financial penalties from the Football Association for accumulating too many red cards in a season, or for player misconduct.
