Mad Bad and Dangerous Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 An old Jambo pal in the pub last night was on about win bonuses at Hearts, and he reckons they get £500 per man for a win for first 2 wins, then after that it gets doubled every win, So the players must be on a good few grand bonus now after our winning streak. Doesn't sound too daft.....anyone got more reliable figures ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever hear the one about the man who invented chess. Asked the Chinese Emperor for one grain of rice for the first square on the board, 2 for the second, 4 for the third etc. The emperor said no problem but it turned out that by the 64th square it was equivalent to the whole of the country’s rice production. (Fortunately - for the emperor - he had a solution. He chopped the inventor’s head off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The early years of Budge I remember she said our wage structure consisted of slightly lower wages than you would expect but much higher bonuses than normal. This meant they could stretch the wages out further and reward success that came with higher prize money. Interestingly the rumour I heard about Shanklands contract was that he was being offered a wage increase, of course, but to sweeten the deal he was being offered up to £1million in bonuses over the course of the contract. No idea what unlocked those bonuses though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I’m pretty sure somebody told me that this was the topic of some salacious nonsense over on .net that had the mutants gripping their loins and wetting their pants. While I can believe that we have got generous bonuses for wins. Nothing would be in place that would upset the financial equilibrium at the club.

zeke1874 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 So if we're on a 10 game winning streak the players are on 5k a win bonus! That's some deal.. Or is it 500 for first win then doubled to 1000 and stays at 1000 until winning run ends? Either way if players are happy and keeps morale up that's great. Hate to be a player who missed a last minute open goal to break the sequence tho.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
