DFC Win Bonus Incentive .... Good Or Bad?

[Gedee]

Don't know anything about DFC's pay structure. Nor do I particularly want to know, what the players are paid generally, or the varying degrees in the pay structure between individual players.

However when it comes to scoring goals and turning games around, DFC showed what they could do in the second half  (albeit against Dumbarton)...Putting away FIVE GOALS in 45 mins.

As I said I do not know if DFC  (or any other Scottish Clubs) are already on an additional Win Bonus, But if not, should it be something that should/could, be considered?  Was it not Jim Mclean (& maybe many other managers) who introduced the idea of keeping the weekly wage level generally low, but adding a huge incentive, in the way of, a substantial Win Bonus? This may still be the case with many Clubs. Or on the other hand, in the present regulated climate, this kind of format just could not happen. Nor would the modern player accept this.However if possible....would it be a good idea?

As football becomes more and more about money and little else, it seems to be the ONLY incentive.

The days of *playing for the shirt* are fast falling away. (If they haven't already)

The optimistic might say it could cost us a lot of money.
The critic might say it could SAVE us money in the long term...!

Players are unlikely to come to Dens if basic wage is low - e.g. Stewart, etc can score at one end and the defence could lose 2 at the other and could cause resentment. For all we know GGH may be p*ssed off at the creative side of the team being undermined by the defence of which PH has done little about. Watching your hard work like say Stewarts great free kick in first half on Sat then wiped out by crap defending?

Scoring more than the opposition is harder when you may need to score three goals to win a game!

This last year you could say that Cammy Kerr and Craig Wighton play for the shirt, as both are diehard bluenoses. However, watching O'Dea recently has made me think that the guy does play for the shirt as well.

I know you didn't

I agree with you will be hard pressed these days to find players playing for the jersey. I always thought it was cringeworthy seeing players like Novo kissing the badge the way they did, especially for every team they played for.

I think you should ban yourself for 24 hours for that pish
