    There's probably a clause about deductions in payment when we get tanked <whistle>

    If we finish 17th we collect £3m from the PL - if we finish 13th then we get £6m from the PL.

    Ashley is not daft... money-wise.

    Yeah, all the back room staff, ground staff, tea lady etc.

    For all his previous blunders, I really like this move by Ashley. A great incentive fir the lads to perform.

    Agree. Still a good gesture though as it isn't the players who will benefit, but those who work hard behind the scenes.

    Hasnt he got links with the spuds? would be a sneaky way to try and get the toon motivated to beat arsenal so Tottenham sneak 4th for champs league football.

    Perhaps if they don't win, then the players should club together and match Ashley's offer instead, so the staff get the money either way. Would be the right thing to do after some if the performances this year.

    Rightly so after watching a most of the performances this year, its the least they can do! Some of the performances (a lot) have been below par by a country mile!! (My language has been toned down a ton! as am new to the forum and i want to make a good impression (to start with))
    ))

    No he's a Chelski fan. Often just reported as a Spurs fan. He can just see the value in the league placings the crafty porker.

    The bloke is a bell end, its sounds great him being generous but wait til the transfer window when we lose out on a player due to the price as he us tight as fcuk and we will struggle for new players meaning it will be nightmare part 2

    Enough is spent on players in this 'beautiful game'. If it had been an extra win bonus for the players then I'd be more sceptical But this is going to those who will actually notice the difference in their pay packet. Yes, I agree it's nothing compared to the club bonus we'd get for finishing higher in the league etc. but for once, I think Ashley is doing the right thing.

    I'm with this. ^^^

    Hardly an incentive really...especially the non-playing staff ! What they gonna do...Sell pies and pull pints quicker, well **** all else has worked all season that Pardew has tried, so maybe this is the last thing they haven't tried !

    Lose or draw, the players should all club together a % of their weekly take home to match the £1m Ashley has put on the table.

    £1m is just pocket change for the ex-fat one. If we lose or draw he'll probably head of to Aspers straight after the game and spunk it all on roulette. Jammy bastard !

    Thought he was originally a Spurs fan and started his business off with Lillywhites.

    Could be wrong though.
