£10 million promotion bonus?

I just saw on skysports website "Paper Talk" that our players
wil share £10 millon if we get promoted. Is this true ?
(The report was from The Star)

Its nearly an extra grand per week for a 25 man squad.

 

According to the HDM - True. You wouldn't think so though looking at the amateur defending yesterday. Bring back McShane, the defence looks much better when he's in the back 3.

 

i think the devil will be in the detail. the £10 million reported makes a great headline and fills a bigger space than the realistic detail that is probably behind it. just like a good car salesman or market trader, they sell the sizzle not the sausage!

 

It probably is more-or-less true (except that I reckon it would be paid over the season, rather than in a lump sum).

The worst nightmare of a promoted team is its best players having their heads turned during the first season in the Premier League. If Charlie Adam had been 100% behind Blackpool during their year in the sun, they would probably have stayed up. And Championship fans wouldn't have to put up with the hypocritical rants of a poorly educated clown.

 

Shame nobody told them yesterday before the game.

 

Most professional English clubs have a league bonus, the size of which is dependent on where the team finishes in the league. However I highly doubt ours is anywhere near as large as £10million.

 

I bet the £10m includes increased salaries to be paid next year. Even in the case of players who wont have a contract renewed and other players brough in instead.

 

If you read the HDM article it says that the £10m includes bonuses to players and staff, wage increases and payments to other clubs from transfers.

 

That's exactly it
