Same as some players have release clauses if their club is relegated, like Gueye did. And which world-beaters were still physically at Villa by the end of the January after we went down, spearheading our instantaneous return?

Sorry, but I think most of you missed my point. I asked about cash payouts for being promoted, then being relegated the following season. Not about players contractual agreements. Danno gave me the answer.
Presumably, if clubs can protect themselves with relegation clauses then players (and their agents) can protect themselves by demanding reductions in transfer values after relegation?
Maybe slightly of topic, but big talk about Lerner receiving a pay out if we get promoted - think I heard about it when Xia arrived
Wasn't that exactly what happened with Gana Gueye? Got relegated, incurred an automatic wage cut, but Everton were able to buy him for less than we paid due to a relegation release clause. Unless I've misremembered it.
