sally02 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) With the prize money difference between 8th and 5th being £375,000, is it time to offer the players a healthy win bonus for a win on Saturday against Accies to ensure 6th place, and a further one for finishing 5th (or better) at the end of the season? I know they are paid reasonably well, but with the small squad we have, and the effort they have had to put in during the recent packed schedule and injuries, I think it might give them a wee stimulus to keep going till the end of the season?

It is a sad day when we have pay extra to motivate our players. They are professionals and getting into the top 6 should be reward enough. There will most likely already be a top 6 bonus agreed before the start of the season I see no reason to pay more than was agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give a massive monetary bonus to all players especially those who think the Season is over and don't try a leg and also give less than 100% in the remaining matches. Who said anything about massive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that they are extremely well paid considering what they do for a living. Agree with the others. A bonus won't motivate them if they are not already motivated to win this game. Funnily enough and surprisingly, research has shown that financial bonuses actually end up being a disincentive for workers but that is maybe a discussion for another thread. Oh and I am certainly not shull before you ask..... Edited March 16, 2021 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Great idea might help them focus for 90 minutes instead of 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
