Sir Jim Ratcliffe is convinced that this is the way to go at Old Trafford.

He claims Man U will be "bust by Christmas " unless costs are slashed. After looking to lay off significant numbers of non playing staff, he`s now looking to slash the players` wage bill. Isn`t this at odds with his grand plan to build a stadium with a bigger capacity than Wembley?
Do performance based contracts work, and will players and their agents agree to sign them if they can sign for another club which offers them a better basic salary? The implication is that players on a good salary with minimal bonuses don`t try their best in every game. How true or fair are these accusations?

Ratcliffe is an asset stripper. It`s the only the thing that he knows. His entire modus operandi is cost cutting.
Personally, I don`t think performance based contracts work that well in football - the vast majority of players seem to really care about the results of the team. I don`t think they need any further motivation to try and win.

Playing devil`s advocate for a moment, Bandy, Juventus had the lowest basic wages in the late 70s/early 80s, but had very generous bonuses relating to points won and league position. They were champions 4 times in 6 seasons. It probably helped that they had some very good players in their squad. They supplied 9 players in Italy`s starting XI at Argentina 78.
You can offer poor players all the bonuses you want. It won`t make them any better.

Were the refs also on a Juventus win bonus?
Apologies if I`m getting my clubs and scandals mixed up.

Listened to an old episode of undr the cosh podcast last week with Micky Gray. He was saying that when Sunderland were at their peak, they weren’t paying good wages for the English prem but the win bonuses were banging. Worked for them.

Didn’t Dundee Utd have a poor base rate but large win bonus system under JimMcClean?
That seemed to have worked well.

Many put out very own clubs demise down to the ending of win bonuses not so long ago
