It's worth remembering they all were happy to sign contracts with relegation clauses in that their wage would be reduced. Seems a reasonable request to ask them to honour it.
Agree 100% on this one though Whicka. It is, or should be, common practice to get players to sign a reduction in wages clause for relegation. They cannot expect to be receiving PL wages when the club is on Championship income, albeit with some protection of the parachute payments.

I often wonder at the seemingly incompetent lot running our club but hopefully, and surely, they have got this one sorted and waterproof. The players do not deserve to get paid PL wages if we go down irrespective of whether they agree to stay or not.
