Wakey, you tell Doc, that 500 of those employees would be lucky to get 2000 pounds each, which in total would equal just 1m. The vast majority, we're talking 85 percent, will go to the players.
That's the whole idea of bonuses, it's meant to be an incentive. £2000 is a big incentive if you earn £10000 a year, not so much if you're on £30000 a week.
Exactly and i agree and also none of us know the exact amounts as we are not privy to the wages accounts as they will be private. I just see it as greed and another flash car. Roberts the plastic Lewis Hamilton with his blm fist raised should be deducted wages for lack of end product.
Absolutely, but the point I'm making is that at least 85 percent of the 48m will go to the top 18 players!
I did a job for someone who works at the Mercedes Brixworth team, this is going back a few years, I also did a job for the finance director at RBR and both of them confirmed that the employees get an end of season bonus depending on where the teams finish. Both teams want every employee to feel valued so they all get an exact same amount. Several years ago when Mercedes finished first it was £4,500 every employee from cleaner to engineer. I agree with you though, the largest part of the non relegation money will be to the players, the exact ones who put the team in the position in the first place
Richard I guess you meant the f1 team in Brackley and they still all get a bonus when they win the constructors championship, but I bet the drivers get bonuses on a completely different level.
He is prone to the odd error, but we should take his age into account, plus he has made move saves in the top flight than anybody else!
Bonuses always work in favour of the highest earners, so of course the players on a good screw will get the most but its agreed on a % sp pro-rata everyone gets the same in relation to what their salary is. Back in 2019 everyone also got an extra 2% as well because the players agreed to defer part of their wages, so no employee would be made redundant and Leeds were the first club to agree deferring player wages to support employees who were on low wages. Its easy to have a go at Radz without having anything to back it up just personal views.
What do you expect? You’re hardly going to give an employee in 10-20k a year a million pound bonus, they’d leave the next day
My understanding of bonuses in football is that they have this ‘pool’ where everyone gets a share. There are various ways this might be shared… eg It might be players only pool shared on a number of games played basis or it might be an all staff bonus. But there will be entirely different additional individual bonuses for players based on promotion/avoiding relegation /goals scored/clean sheets/ number of games played/loyalty etc etc. there’s been a move towards incentive based payments in the last 10 years or so. The idea is it keeps fixed costs down and you pay out more when the player/club does well and less when the player/club does badly
