Lee Davies Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I can't understand why the F.A/Premier League cannot enforce a contract rule where any player who signs a contact in any league has to also sign a 50% reduction clause too (maybe more). This means that when a team are relegated they do not need £40m hand outs to pay off their exisiting contracts. Within the reduced terms the players will all have a price set which will allow the club to regain some money and not prevent a player moving on. I strongly feel this will be more of an incentive for players to fight relegation and not just give up, knowing they have a 5 year contract etc. Therefore parachute payments would not be needed...

mike312 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Parachute payments aren't needed anyway as the relegated club can sell their assetts (players) for money and buy a cheaper option. Stoke will get a decent wedge for Shaquiri, Shawcross et all, Let some of the older ones go and be quids in, rely on a few kids sprinkled with a bit of experience here and there and bobs your uncle. The problem comes if you spaff loads on expensive players and can't sell them if you go down or if they are out of contract, although the wages are off your bill of course in the case of the latter.

King_Monkey Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Players have a decrease in wages written in to their contracts already, not necessarily 50% but at a level agreed between club, agent and player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewsburyowl58 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m sure relegation clauses are included already with some players . The obscene amounts players are paid is the issue and money is the reason there is a divide in the Premiership. It’s clear teams need financial help when relegated though . I would like to think that winning games is the reason any player tries and not just for the pay cheque . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is taken into consideration by most players when signing for a club , bonus clauses for staying up will be sought by agents same as the club set up a reduction in wages if relegated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Parachute payments are a mockery Middlesborough had a player on loan from Everton last night Aston Villa had one on loan from Man Utd Where is the fairness I'd ban parachute payments, and I'd ban loans too That would stop the big clubs stock piling the best youngsters Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

jonesy87shef Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 A much more sensible rule would be to ensure that parachute payments are used for their purpose and not to be spent on transfer fees and wages. Maybe state that wage bills cannot go up and a limit on transfer fees paid. Parchute payments are completely unfair paired a long side ffp. If chairman could invest and spend at will then fine, but half the league kicks off with their boot laces tied together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Jack Rodwell is good example, when his club didn’t even know where he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 parachute payment is a joke next season you've got westbrom,Swansea,stoke,hull,Norwich,Middlesbrough,villa (if they don't go up) and some others with pp gives teams like Ipswich no chance of competing. yet we've got a chairman willing to spend whatever it takes to get promoted but some stupid rule prevents that from happening.

Flat Owl Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 At the very least the maximum parachute payment should be a one off and equal to the size of FFP over one year. You watch - we will manage to one day scrape our way into the prem and they will then abolish parachute payments altogether the following year....

steelcityowlsfan Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Scrap parachute payments and have a salary cap for each league. Parity restored for the good of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could happen, but it won't affect us cos we'll be staying there with this team in place. FFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toooldforthis Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Would it surprise you to know that many player’s contracts have a relegation clause in them guaranteeing higher wages if they get relegated from the Premiership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 TBH 3/4 of the teams relegated these days need more than 40m because they are fecked big time and are in free fall ie Hull, Sunderland et al. I expect no difference from the relegated teams this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
