Cash Bonuses per game for a player

[toffeemax]

Watching QPR today and seeing how soulless they were, got me thinking. Should teams employ a system where by players get bonuses for each game they win, and on the flip side, docked wages based on games they lose... Would make your chris Samba's of the world play with a bit more heart and desire. As well as a Jose Bosingwa... I understand the argument that if a club doesn't offer a fine system for losing games then they will seem more appealing than a club that does, but it was just a thought...

I've always had the same crazy idea. Pay the player a base salary and then huge bonuses every time they win. They'd play a lot harder I can guarantee you and there would be a lot more accountability in the dressing room.

i reckon all first teamers should have a structured wage and be paid extras based on how much minutes they play a month etc. like us normal folk who are paid based on how many hours we work. obviously some considerations for sick pay, but i don't see why sub goalies for example, can be paid £25k a week, when they don't get on the pitch once in a whole season

footballers are already overpaid, if they can't be arsed to try 100% every game doing a job, billions of the world's population would love to do; then they shouldn't be given such privillages. not sure why they should need an extra incentive tbh

Nice idea in theory but likely to cause bad feeling towards players who make mistakes that cost games.

Reading players would never get paid

 

[arch stanton]

they do. I know one of the villa players and he gets extra for being on the bench, more if he plays, win bonus and clean sheet bonuses.

This it how it works..

A basic wage
+ appearance fee
+ clean sheet bonus
+ win bonus
+ goal bonus

Clubs even pay bonuses if a player appears for a national team (youth or full international).

You getting this from Footy Manager ha

 

[toffeemax]

the win bonuses relatively speaking though are minimal (based on foot manager)

They're not doing that job because no one else can be bothered. They're doing it because they're that much better at it than the billions of other people that would like to swap with them.

As anyone's that has played sport will tell you, when you're in the heat of the action you don't think of any external factors at all. I mean Jelavic could be on a huge goal bonus and it wouldn't improve his finishing because when he shoots, he does so instinctively.

The motivation part will come during training and the preparation before the match. Besides which, pretty much all research into motivation suggests it is largely intrinsic rather than extrinsic.

I suspect the players earn so much they're not bothered at all by how much they earn in absolute terms. They will care about how much they earn relative to other players as that acts as a proxy for their 'status' in the game.

Jack Wilshire once demanded 100k pw from me on football manager for an appearance fee.

His agent did have a 20 like for hating me.

Asshole.

I think eventually the realities of football will mean all clubs have to move to peformance based contracts. It will probably start at the lowest reaches of the game and work it's way up the leagues.

Whether it'll find it's way to the PL is highly debatable but if the lower leagues were in rude health it would eventually put pressure on the big boys.
