two things that motive 1) Cash 2) Alcohol

We cant afford big bonuses as a club so.....

The players on a "mad monday" seem to have a great time why not try and use this to our advantage, the club Put say £2.5k behind the bar at the begining of the season, you win by more than 12 say £200 is added to the total, lose by more than 12 £200 is deducted from the total, conceed 50 points and £500 is deducted, score 50 £500 is added.
Cap it at £5k could pay for a fair few beers, limos everywhere, loads of food all day all around town but if we continue to fall apart and lose by more than 12 when its gone its gone.

For those who dont go to the party because they have familys or are too young to drink, divided by the amount of people in the squad and give them their share in £s or somthing of simular value

If the amount goes into a minus the players between them give £200 to a chosen charity

If somthing like this was inplace you would see far more urgency both in attack and defence imo, An Army marches on its stomach and i feel our players would do the same.

What we need to deal with here is the fantasy that a contract with a termination clause like the one you're suggesting would be more attractive to a player than one without such a clause. What tempts that player to turn down other offers in favour of one that could see him looking for another club after just one year?

Do people have contracts that coiuld see them sacked if the performance of the group of people they work with does not reach an arbitrarily defined target? Really?

A risk worth taking rather than being burden with a long term liability.

A risk that coud see the club unburdened by any sort of player whatsoever.

Well not really because there are only so many places to go. Only 14 teams and the gap between SL and championship salary cap is substantial.

So, the players who have more than one offer on the table will go to the clubs who are able to offer guaranteed two or three year deals. The rest - the ones without decent offers from elsewhere (y'know, the ones no-one else wants) - will come to Salford to join the contract termination lottery. Brilliant.

Only if we are very lucky. If not they'll do a year in our treatment room.

"If you have a clause that allows you the OPTION to terminate a contract why would you use it terminate the contracts of the best players? Surely you would release the worst players"

Explain how this stands up in employment legislation:
1. Players can ask to be released but the club can require a transfer fee: this makes them different in that they cannot just hand in a month's (or whatever) notice. At the same time it gives them security of their contract. You remove one, their soliciors will make sure the other is removed. So Ratchford (for example) could leave in July.
2. You are not talking redundancy so explain how you marry "unacceptable performance" with lack of points in a season won by others, whose performance is not seen as worthy of sacking?
3. How you decide on the worst players. Poor Broughton: few tackles and few passes. Out! Your and my view is immaterial here: the targets and the stats set to show the meeting of such targets become the golden rule.

We're not a million miles away... We're a billion!
