I don’t think it is realistic, but if they had to go to the Championship, do you think there will be players who want to stay and get up again, or they just look for an other Club? Which club would even be a possibility for the biggest city stars?
Sorry for my english
I imagine some have it written into their contract that if the team is relegated, they can leave. It sounds odd, but I can see City being so cocky that they know that clause would never come into force.
