It would be more strange if we weren’t putting that in there. That said, the few clubs who have been caught out by not having these clauses have been the ones with mad owners, like QPR and I think Cardiff. Even Man United in the Alex Ferguson days of winning league titles had it in their contracts. I know lads who have been at a few clubs over the years who were panicked about losing a big chunk of wages if they got relegated. I know Wigan and Newcastle both had 40% cuts when they got relegated from the Prem. Accrington Stanley on the other hand had 15% when they went back out of the leagues, they also had a 15% promotion clause too. It’s late and I’m still talking. Well there seems to be no panic or urgency in our play, so it would suggest no clause's have been written in their contracts StevO and plaidharper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn’t have clauses they would be fighting to stay up. If they did have clauses they wouldn’t be worrying, they would be just excited about their new club haha.

Maybe so, but we're they run by our board? We've probably got clauses to pay them for cup wins without winning the cup.

Shukes, the clauses wouldn't be relegation release clauses. It would simply mean they get paid less in the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work harder at my business than any employee as it’s my money that’s at stake. Footballers work harder when they have more to lose. If there wasn’t a clause, and we get relegated with them being on less wages…. Surely that would encourage them to work harder not to get relegated? If there was a clause that said if we get relegated, it would be easier for them to leave to stay in the premier league…. Then again, there wouldn't be such motivation to fight for survival. Believe me, footballers are selfish individuals that care about theirselves over any club. They are human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do the same every fucking transfer window and whenever me, or anyone else complains about and says it's a shit way to do things because you're throwing points away, we get shouted down that it's alllllll fine. It's not fine, is it? It's just another example of how badly run we are as a club. KinL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 It's taken us 24 days of the transfer window to agree one deal, get them to do their medical and media stuff, have them shit on us and go elsewhere...

Not sure there is much we can do on this one. Better team showed an interest so he goes there so sit on the bench. We beat other clubs to his signature so we must have done something right before that. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was that it took 24 days to get the form filled in. First the printer ran out of blue ink. The black was fine, but the club crest came out in pink and yellow, can’t have that on official documents. PC World was closed, as with any transfer they all happen “overnight” for some weird reason. Then they got the ink for the wrong printer. Frank kept asking can we just docusign it on our iPads. Bill doesn’t like the iPad. His fat face doesn’t work on Face ID anymore, his fat fingers don’t work on the touch pad, he doesn’t remember his Apple ID password so can’t download it from the App Store. By the time they got all of the form filled in they had already sacked Frank. Now the head of compliance won’t sign off on it as it’s got an ex employees signature on it. You won’t believe what happened when they tried to print the form again. No fucking blue ink again!! Sharpie’s been printing off his tickets in colour again. What a mess.

Was it not the same when Lampard came in. Last minute appointment and then rushed/panic deals for DVB and Ali. prob not a popular position but I think we shouldn't sell or buy anyone. I think it was clear some of the lads stopped playing for lampard (shame on them). Let's see if the new manager can get a tune out of them. yes we desperately need a striker just like we did in the summer. I was against Maupay at the time and that signing clearly hasn't worked out. Same as now, last window there was no one available so we took what was there...it just hasn't worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
