Davies fears for Hull if relegated

Hull City captain Curtis Davies fears for the club if they're relegated tomorrow.

He knows the impact it has on a football club, the implications for players and staff.

"There will be pay cuts but the players know we've got contracts," says Davies to the Daily Mail. "The people around the club, in the offices and the kitchens, all of a sudden their jobs are in doubt. It's a real family club and that would be gutting.

"We all want to be Premier League players. If you asked the Birmingham lads that day would they rather have won the Carling Cup or saved themselves from relegation, they would have saved themselves.

"When you're in the Premier league, 'the Big League' as the gaffer calls it, and all the people watching it worldwide, this is where everyone wants to earn their living.

"With relegated teams you never know. You look at the top earners and wonder if will they be sold? That's the first worry. Then you've got players going out of contract. Will they be signed? That's the next worry. Then people who have a year left. What will happen with them?

"There are worries all over. You don't really know what you're going back into. You're always waiting for that knock on the door for someone else to be taken away."
