tottenhamfmo7 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 As we all know, at the start of the season you set a bonus for the players; A League bonus A Cup bonus I usually set them both to high, or League to high and cup to medium. But this season (currently with Aldershot in League One), I set them both to low. Oh, what a mistake that has turned out to be! BUT! As long as I don't get relegated, it will have saved me over 200k! Anyone else set them both to low? How did it turn out for you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badass_ Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I always do premier league high, cup low, ecc high And I usually have a lot of players with "please his efforts can be rewarded with high bonus" or something to that effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintToon Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 All high, its the Owners money I am spending after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkermush Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Depends on how my teams bank balance looks, but i normally alway's select high for all of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebritykiller Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 All high ofc. If I'm a high level club there no reason not to. For low level clubs, league position is always paramount while cup money is essential for finance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo_rooney Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Medium for all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMT Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 High for all, as if you win a league or cup the prize money will (usually) more than cover the cost of the bonus anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroxBorough Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 High for all, regardless of level. In the lower leagues a decent cup run is generally to the third or fourth round, the prize/gate money easily covers the scaled down bonuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRich Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 League: High Cup: Normal As i'm normally a championship club this seems the more sensible thing to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJoe Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 High for all no matter who i am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Normally always medium but past few seasons it has been high and I've had better results in the champions league from it. It really only seems to affect 'Ambitious' players, as they are the only ones with "Please his efforts can be rewarded with high bonus". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Always high. Can't see it doing any damage and it always gives several players a boost for the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I have always set them to high as the morale boost and prize money gained by winning a competition more than outweighs any financial worries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzamark Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 High for all, bar when I'm a small skint club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polegategavin Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 This does have a bearing on the expectations of the board, and can lead to you getting the sack if you do not perform to the level you have set, i.e. if you set your bonus structure to high for league position, then the board will expect you to finish higher than if it was set to medium. I will, therefore, set this appropriately to where I expect to finish in the league with the squad I have and the finance provided for transfers!

Krald Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I tend to do medium honestly, I was almost broke by winning the coca cola league 2 as Bromley when it hit me with 250k win bonuses for my team and I had like 300k in the bank. I lost more money on medium bonuses than I gained from winning the league as the prize money is the same at 1st or 10th. So in lower english leagues I can't really see it being viable setting it high, as I'd just end up in debt. in english prem I could somewhat understand it, same for scottish prem, Although at st mirren I couldnt afford it so I tended to do low league low cup high europe bonuses until I got a new stadium.

afced7 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Always medium. If my £100,000 a week players feel they don't have enough money and they can't motivate themselves enough to try and win trophies for the glory of the club then frankly they can p*** off.
