Random question off the back of the Mulumbu wages... Probably impossible to know the answer
We know the players have relegation and promotion clauses in their contracts. A mate has just claimed that the relegation and promotion percentages are the same.
That means, for example, that if Bassong were on £40,000 per week in the PL with a 30% relegation wage cut/promotion wage increase clause:
- his wages would be reduced to £28,000pw (40k x 0.7) in the Championship
- then on promotion they would go to £36,400pw (28k x 1.3)
Meaning the players essentially get a pay cut in the same division... Any idea if that's true?!?
