That might be true, I don't know. But again, it's all relative.

By inserting relegation clauses we at least protect ourselves from the kind of debt and financial collapse that has killed off bigger clubs for a generation.

As I said, the idea of long expensive contracts doesn't really stack up, when they are reduced significantly every time we go down.

Would be fascinating to see the income of someone like Kenny though. Yo-yo salarying!
