 Another American here, with a soccer contract question. All fans of the sport seem to like the relegation system. But for teams near the bottom of the standings who are at risk of relegation, how do they have any bargaining power to sign free agents? Do players sign 4 or 5 year contracts knowing they might play years of the contract in a totally separate league? Or do players all just tell those teams they'll only sign for one year at most? And if you're a player with sponsorships, there's no way you would take the risk of signing on to a team going to a lower league with way less viewership, right? And then when a team gets relegated, do all the players just try to jump ship and get on a team that's still in the main league?
