It's a good indicator of character IMO. or that his agent isnt stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely from an agents' perspective, players having relegation clauses is a good thing - more likely get another move and thus another tasty fee for his services?

If a player gets offered a wage reduction on relegation my first thought would be this club has zero ambition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player gets offered a wage reduction on relegation my first thought would be this club has zero ambition How do you know contracts haven't been negotiated for extra money now with a view to a relegation clause being put in? i.e: "We want £30k/wk" - "Sure, but we want a 50% wage reduction on relegation clause" - "Make that £40k/wk with the relegation clause, then" etc. etc. Also, it's got nothing to do with ambition and more about being a well-run club. If a player thinks they're good enough, they won't be worried about such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
