Newcastle United face financial meltdown if they're relegated.
The Independent says Toon have not made provisions for relegation in all of the contracts they gave to the players who arrived at St James' Park in January.
The club did not insert relegation clauses into all of the five deals that were given to the French players who arrived during a spending spree which cost the club £31m in transfer and agents' fees.
Mathieu Debuchy, Yoan Gouffran, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Massadio Haïdara and Moussa Sissoko all arrived during the winter transfer window.
