Hull had up to 75% cut if you go off what their manager said at the time. I haven’t gone into each clubs accounts to check. Quick searches online suggest even arsenal, a club with surely zero threat to relegation, have a 25% wage cut in place. So the best I can go off is that and assume our known prudent management has implemented substantial cuts like the account notes suggest. If Dyche is on 80k a week now as reported he might even have > 50% cut to be honest, as even 40k a week at Champ level for a manager is way OTT.
I've looked at Hull's accounts and they didn't have 75 per cent off. That club ended up in a mess and the owners had to sell.
The Arsenal 25 per cent figure came from a Daily Mail article
The article says:
The north London club’s annual wage bill is more than £150million, with the likes of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang among the best-paid players in England. It is unclear whether the 25 per cent figure is a club-wide stance — but
numerous players are known to be on that percentage reduction in the event of relegation. Really?

By the time it gets into the Mirror it reads
Arsenal 'insert relegation clause into players' contracts' amid shock fight against drop
"
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football ... s-23205365"
As though clubs are able to insert new clauses into contracts after a few bad games.
I can't find anything from a reliable source suggesting a figure for relegation clauses - can anyone?
