Snowflake Royal Stranded Snowflake Royal Players usually have performance bonuses of some sort, even if as a small element of their contract. Promotion particularly.
Be interesting to know if the FL are constraining us by the maximum we could possibly pay out including bonuses... win, goal, clean sheet & promotion for example, or just basic, or some expected level of bonus.
If it's the former, we could find shit performance in the first half of the season frees up enough space in untriggered bonus payments to sign someone extra in January.
Individual bonuses are included in the Salary budget calculation, so form part of the 16m. Squad bonuses are not. So promotion bonus would definitely not be incuded as you would expect that to be a squad bonus.
I guess we could have got a bit cute and made as many bonuses squad wide as possible. Such as any player playing in a defence that keeps a clean sheet gets X, a goalscorer gets Y - therefore moving it out of the playing budget side of things.
Be hard to take account of goal bonuses, in theory there's enough game time to score thousands. And teams have been known to score over 100, with individuals up to the low 40s.
Currently players get bonuses for each appearance, the size of the bonus increases depending on league position.
A sub who comes on gets a bonus, a sub that doesn't Come on gets a bonus. There are win bonuses.
Whether some or all are seen as individual bonuses or not it’s a complex set of permutations that all feed in to a tight budget. You can’t work on paying the maximum possible as that would be unrealistic, but you can’t afford to under budget either.
