I'm sorry?

"Wages at the club are governed by a divisional pay structure meaning that every single player and member of the senior management and coaching staff will all suffer pay cuts as a result of relegation.
It is understood that reductions in salaries will vary from around 20pc to 50pc, reflecting the kind of rises that were paid out upon Norwich's promotion last year.
Mr Doncaster said Norwich was the only club playing in the top-flight which had such a policy in place and would not be saddled with the kind of crippling wages that have in the past led to financial problems at other clubs"

Compare with this:

"However the board believed that it should back the judgment of former manager Nigel Worthington and did so, sanctioning player wages during 2005/6 which were only marginally lower than during our year in the Premier League.?

Cna you seriously see no contradiction between those two statements?
