Why would a percentage deduction on an individual contract not work ? With a release clause if they want to move. All football contracts would have to include it.

It is not a ceiling - clubs not playing the highest wages can go up - like last season. But it sure ain't easy.

I am sure some the finest legal minds would be able to work something out. And don't call me Shirley.

Here we go. Football is not like other industries. When an employer knows under certain circumstances it will lose say three-quarters if its revenue it has to be able to plan for that. If the law has to make allowance for that - I can't imagine the great British (or European) public being upset...

Well then, the law is an ass.

But if every contract had to have a relegation clause ............ and a get-out clause there would be no question arising. Make it a EUFA-wide requirement. Pie in the sky probably.

I am sure you are right - but if the FA/Leagues made it a condition....... which is not going to happen........

Football is an industry hard to like though. I heard Pompey are still paying Kitson £10k per week. Per WEEK!

You can't blame Bosman for the lack of relegation clauses. These should be standard in all contracts.
