Steven caulker loyalty bonus

Sun Jun 15, 2014 1:00 pm

Apparently steven caulker won't be going anywhere until next month because then he gets a loyalty bonus.

Another example of malky, moody and Simon lim wasting money. Caulker only here for the money quicker he goes the better imo just a drain on the clubs finances and over rated anyway imo

I disagree for me it shows the greed of a modern footballer and a lack of respect to our club, I'd like to see Tan tell him go in June or It's championship football next season and he is crazy enough to follow it through

Do you think Cornelius will get a bonus?

You can't blame the player, I would do exactly the same if I was him. It should never have been in his contract, loyalty bonus is fine but after one year :? It's a piss take especially when he can leave a day later.
If he wouldn't wouldn't sign the contract without it then surely he would have failed the super dossiers.

The "loyalty bonus" is actually the signing on fee. The payments of the signing on fee are staggered over the length of the contract and paid annually.

Players are usually entitled to the full amount of their "loyalty bonus" for the full length of their contract even if they are sold, unless they put in a written transfer request which generally cancels their right to any further "loyalty bonus".

Not sure how this works with a relegation release clause though.

Correct.

It may seem wrong but it was part of the attraction of caulker signing.

If caulker had turned us down no doubt people on here would complain about lack of ambition or lack of wages.

Some good points in a sensible post and some of the people having a go at Caulker, MM, IM and Lim would, in my opinion, do well to read and understand what you,ve posted here.

I wonder if a "Release Clause" in a contract is actually a form of transfer request because if it is like you correctly point out then when, not if, Caulker leaves the club does actually "Save" money by not having to pay the bonus for the remaining term of his contract.

Fully understand what he said about the loyalty bonus being the signing on fee pal, but is that the gospel what he is saying or just hear say? Your the rocket scientist so you should know I'm guessing..

But whatever signing on fee or loyalty bonus no I can't blame caulker for waiting around for this but my point is he is over rated and good riddance let him take his money and cheerio, as much as I hate tan for the re brand he done a good job sacking moody lim and malky because they clearly over spent with transfer fees and contracts and anyone with a brain reading this post aswell could tell that..
