but let's just say

for argument's sake, that certain high-earners at NCFC did not have relegation clauses in their contracts.

And let's just say that City felt that the best way to get promotion was to spend big (comparatively) on wages.

Add this with a 20 per cent cut in income (primarily tv & sponsorship-related) then that all leads to a heap of trouble.
