A lot of new contracts being signed.

I wonder if this is part of our sustainable future plan in that players are handsomely rewarded for staying the in PL but take a big hit if we go down.

I'd love it if that were the case, a good way of incensing players, and retaining a strong squad at an affordable cost should we end up going back down.

I also quite like the fact we have an almost completely fluent English speaking squad (back off Brussels!) It always strikes me as a nightmare they way some clubs have to employ multiple interpreters. It can't be great for tactical communication and handing out bol11ockings either!
