I'm okay. Mine's made of wood.
Assuming these footballers have wages about 100x the average salaryman. A $20k fine would be a $200 equivalent. Its not exactly pocket change to them IMO. Some of them have very expensive lifestyles.
Possible some player just got pissed at all these restrictions and leaked it.
£100 would be the equivalent for 3k.
Yeah if you were making £3k a week - not if you are making £3K a month
You're right.
500 per minute late for a meeting. I'd have had to sell my house, wife and soul several times over by now..
I'd assume these are pretty standard for a top PL club. Jesus christ though, imagine forgetting to turn your phone off and it ringing during a meal. Oops, that just cost me a grand..
)That just makes it more obscene. Football has to be a great example of capitalism out of control. The poor people being stretched more and more to fund more profits and more money that can be spent on paying players.
Interesting. How do top French clubs enforce discipline then?
Weren't some PSG files leaked and Neymar had a bonus for attending meetings with fans, behaving well etc.? Has the same effect as fines, it's just worded differently. You get paid for not breaking the rules, instead of getting fined for breaking them.
That's why it's up to the managers discretion. I'm sure he wouldn't fine a youth player the same as his top earners who you would expect to lead by example.
Maybe we do, and Lukaku and Shaw just preferred to pay the fines."Body composition target to be met, fines for failure to be in target range" Clearly we don't have something like at our club (Lukaku
It's done the other way around, you get bonuses for "good" behavior, which is in reality taken from your base salary, you basically negotiate your wage and then the club divide it in base salary and bonuses, PSG call it "ethical bonuses".

I can;t see how this can possibly be legal in employment law, but then football clubs get away with some weird shit.
Our lineups haven't been leaked in months, whoever the culprit was has either been found out or shipped out.
No they don't
It should be illegal everywhere. I find it absurd.
I agree it's not as bad as it was but you still see cases of Howson leaking lineups early.
These are young guys primarily in their teens/twenties who get paid millions of pounds a year while being showered in adoration by fans. It's a perfect recipe for producing obnoxious egotists who don't listen to anyone. About the only hold clubs have over their behaviour is money/playing time, and playing time isn't an easy thing to ration granularly. Money is the only rational tool the clubs can use to keep their primadonna 'employees' in line.
