There are numerous reasons a Premier League club can suffer relegation, but have you ever heard of Snapchat being one of them?

That is something Fulham must consider as they head into the 2025/26 season, according to Micah Richards.

The Cottagers enjoyed a solid 2024/25 campaign, eventually finishing 11th and just seven points off the top eight after initially flirting with a European challenge.

That could be a risky strategy for Fulham — especially considering they were beaten to the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and striker Rodrigo Muniz is linked to Leeds.

However, the former Everton and Arsenal man revealed last month that he and his teammates have now been banned from making such posts, even facing a financial penalty if they break the rules.

“For those that are wondering why I’ve not been snapping BTS in the changing room, there’s one person in the media team that’s been saying I haven’t been capturing the right stuff.

I think they’ll have too much to have them in a relegation battle, but just below last season.”

Richards then agreed with Shearer that Fulham could face a difficult campaign, but bizarrely put it down to the recent Snapchat ban’s effect on team morale.

“And their media person has stopped them using Snapchat, where you used to get all the insight, the videos and stuff.

“You can’t do the videos no more, you go in there, it’s going to be silent, there’s going to be no banter flying, so it could affect them.

“So I’m going to say just below what they did last season.”

An exasperated Shearer then concluded: “No Snapchat, so they’re going to be just below what they did last season!
