Manchester United's players face a pay cut of up to 25 per cent if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, according to The Shite.
The policy, backed by former manager Sir Alex Ferguson and chief executive David Gill, was introduced three years ago and, while it does not apply to all senior players, new signings and players renewing contracts have had to accept it.

And the newspaper quotes a source as saying: "United aren't the only Premier League club with this policy. They felt it was fair players should be rewarded for reaching the top four but also share the financial pain if they miss out."
The report also claims it throws Wayne Rooney's future at Old Trafford into doubt.
The England striker has just 18 months remaining on his contract and talks are due to begin on a new deal, but it is unlikely he would accept a wage cut clause.

It is imperative they don't finish top 4 ...

This is good if it pisses off Rooney and RVP but it would be better if they were still on massive wages that were not being covered really. They will want to leave without CL anyway.

Chris Smalling is going to take the whole club out!!

Hopefully they lose the next 2 games and the gap to 4th stretches out

Golem effect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The golem effect is a psychological phenomenon in which lower expectations placed upon individuals either by supervisors or the individual themselves lead to poorer performance by the individual. This effect is mostly seen and studied in educational and organizational environments. It can also be seen in sport, the perfect example being on show at Salford, where Gollum himself is currently destroying Manchester United. It's beautiful. It is a form of self-fulfilling prophecy.

Arsenal introduced this is 2012 too. Wonder if we have something similar. Think its quite fair, similar to how relegation will bring about wage cut.

 

[Brizzle]

Would there then be a pay rise for those who signed when we weren't in the CL to reward us improving and thus qualifying again?

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has issued an apology after he was pictured dressed in a suicide bomber costume.
The front page of The Shite on Thursday shows the England international, 24, dressed as a "Jaegerbomber" - a pun based on the drink as his outfit combined a military-style vest accompanied by two bottles of Jaegermeister.

The newspaper quoted a United insider as saying: "Some people at the club will be absolutely appalled by this. I am shocked and disgusted by his behaviour."

The player's management company, the Wasserman Media Group, said the decision to wear the costume had been "ill-thought out and insensitive."

The statement read: "Chris and his girlfriend hosted a fancy dress party to celebrate Christmas and their belated birthdays with close friends in the assumed privacy of his own home.

"He dressed in a costume consisting of empty bottles of Jaegermeister and cans of Red Bull strapped to his chest in an attempted comedy play on the popular 'Jaegerbomb' drink.

"Although he fully accepts in hindsight it was an ill-thought out and insensitive decision, absolutely no harm was intended whatsoever and he apologises for any offence caused."

Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra will head an exodus of up to eight senior players likely to leave Manchester United in the summer.

According to the Daily Mail, the defensive trio will be followed through the Old Trafford exit by Nani, Anderson, Alex Buttner, Anders Lindegaard and striker Javier Hernandez.

The champions are yet to win a game in 2014 after a New Year's day loss to Tottenham in the league was followed up by cup defeats against Swansea and Sunderland.

It is United's worst run of form since 1992, and manager David Moyes is keen to stamp his authority with new signings for a squad which, Marouane Fellaini aside, was entirely inherited from Sir Alex Ferguson's time at the club.

Vidic will be the biggest surprise of those players tipped to leave, with the captain unlikely to sign a new deal.
Ferdinand, meanwhile, is expected to retire at the end of the season when his contract expires.

Actually I quite like the idea of them hanging on to deteriorating, aging players on fat contracts playing games and blocking newer and hungrier young players from coming through or even joining the club.

I like the look of ings he'd be worth a punt keep him on the bench as a back up striker but doubt he'd want that..

They've sent Rooney on holiday aswell. Rooney on holiday with a groin injury sitting in a beach bar (in the shade obvs). He'll probably come back a fat bastard.
