    They're f>cked, the only way out might be buying-out the contract but for that they need the money and a guarentee (sp) of a Merc engine which would cost them about 15-20 million minimum combined I'd guess.

    to buy out contract would be 40million, 20m for each season, no? and then 10m for a merc engine? even if they did somehow manage that, if they put the engine in a dog of a car it wont fare much better.

    Betca Eddies has an escape clause based on performance or somethin.

    Looks like we're screwed anyway. God this is depressing stuff. Hmmm lets see how shall we bounce back, hmm. Employ Jesus and his god squad to run to the team cause its going to take a bloody mircle.
