OPINION: Should players get bonuses?

So we have woken up this morning looking forward to the new season and apart from anything else, match day at the Bridge again!. However, THE SUN has a different idea as it claims that the Chelsea players are furious with Roman Abramovich over pay cuts of their bonuses!.

The article says:

"The players are furious and there is a huge row going on behind the scenes. They're champions and are rewarded with a pay cut - it's hardly a great way to motivate them. It was a big shock and they're not happy. Now they're going into the season under a cloud.

They thought it was it was just a normal pre-season meeting. But instead they were told it was all change and most of the bonuses they'd enjoyed had been scrapped or reduced."

I don't beleive this for a second I have to say. Footballers these days earn more money than sense and surely their normal weekly salaries are enough to buy them anything they wanted especially at the end of the month where most can afford to buy an island or something!.

People will argue no matter what job you do you should always have incentives to do well and to be rewarded for your efforts but some will also ask if this should apply to footballers too?.

Let's face it footballers take home their weekly salaries, win & goal bonuses etc so if they are cut I wouldn't believe this would be too much of a problem.

One thing is for sure, I wouldn't believe this one for a second.

So I ask you the reader the question:

Do you think footballers these days should also be paid bonuses on top of their huge salaries?
