Wolves have already confirmed that the players have a relegation clause in their contracts of a wage cut of between 30% - 50%.

Sounds good in theory, rko. The problem is top Championship players (and I mean top star players); their top end is the 30k a week mark. Now, someone like Jackson, who is on a reported 60 grand a week, will be on between 30 and 40 grand a week depending on his clause. In no one's works, not even the deluded Jeffs, is he worth that, especially in the Championship.
I think we will lose at least 80 percent of the playing squad when we go down; relegation clauses or not, they will all still be on a ridiculous amount for the Championship. Our income is going to be slashed. Parachute payments won't put a dent in the money we owe, which is circa the 300 million mark. Make no mistake, we are deep in the brown stuff financially.

Agreed, De wolf, mate. Most of our squad will be gone, most due to wages; the rest because they're cowards.
