Players paying for losing a game?

Interesting read regarding Dynamo Kiev:

Not sure about anyone else but I've never heard of this method

What's everyone's opinion on it? Controversial, but you would have to say it'd work to a certain extent.

It's an extreme version of performance related pay.

Personally, I think it's a good idea. We can then pay our players per win rather than per week and even if they aren't committed to the club, they'll run their socks off to get paid!

How about the manager? Isn't he largely responsible for the tactics and team selection?

Now imagine Wenger had to pay along with the players everytime we lose, now we might see some change in the tactics!

Sounds like a sure way to make sure no decent player would want to sign for us again.

Personally, I'd take the opposite view. If I knew the entire team only get paid if we win, I'd know that they'd be doing everything they could to win. No lazy players = higher success rate.

But many top players would probably prefer to go to a club where they are paid thousands every week regardless of whether they win or lose. The whole team being paid depends on every single player doing their bit. Imagine how annoyed you would be if you didn't get paid because Almunia let the ball slip through his fingers!

If the rest of the team were good enough then we would've been up by more than one goal when all of these things happened, or we would have come back from being down one to win the games.

They'd have to offer the players massive wages to make up for when they lose a game, because it will inevitably happen. Its a really stupid concept. Something better would be to offer them a more lucrative bonus if they win/score/not concede.

When you're in the top bracket of a professional sports that is as popular as football, money shouldn't be something that should motivate you to perform on a day to day basis.

Obviously, you'd want a big pay packet and that may turn your head. But, no player scores goals or tries to win matches to earn a bit of money more. It is ridiculous to want to motivate our players in that manner.

Our 4-4 draw against Newcastle away last year said enough
