I still think “reduced terms” here should be competitive enough to keep players at the level they’re likely to be playing next season. Apart from 1 or 2 the rest will attract NL or NLN at best. Those that are contracted for next season will surely have to have them honoured but there could, of course, be a non-promotion reduction built in. You’d think that should provide the motivation that clearly isn’t there.
This rumour regarding a promotion bonus being withdrawn could have substance?
