As for insisting on inserting relegation clauses into contracts, I can't see a problem with that and if any player won't sign because of that, then so be it. It's blatantly obvious they are just in it for the money and care not about their contribution to a relegation. If, in my previous employment, the company under performed, we didn't receive our annual bonus. This is akin to what RUFC are stating contractual wise and good for them for standing their ground.
I wonder how many clubs are truly actually on the brink of collapse? Thank the lord for Tony Stewart and his thrifty business manner.
