Relegation Clauses in Contracts
Sat Jun 14, 2025 11:45 am
I am interested as to what sort of "Relegation Clauses" apply to salaries when relegation applies from the Championship to Division 1.
My friend, ChatGPT, says it would be normal to apply a 25%,40% or even 50% reduction.
Does anyone have any ideas?
This season we will be governed by SCMP which allows us to spend 60% of our turnover (gate fees) on salaries - so the number of supporters we get will have a direct influence on who we can buy. Under SCMP any player, under 21 at the start of the season, salary does not count for purposes of SCMP.

I don’t know the answer to the question, Paul, but I’m sure someone will
Very interesting re your second paragraph, as it may help explain the shift to a more youth based set up
