This sounds very similar to something Cyrus Christie mentioned to a friend of mine this weekend, he's been asked also to sign a new contract lowering his bonus' didnt say anything about his normal week to week wage but definitely the bonus. i know last season each player gets a £1000 appearance £500 from the bench £1000 win bonus and £500 if they draw.
Would have thought it wouldn't be legal. If they had any sense surely they would have a relegation clause in his new contract to say his wages would go down if we got relegated anyway?
Nick, it probably wouldn’t be legal, but like people have already said, i wouldn’t put anything past SISU, they were probably testing the water with idle threats to see if they could nick a bit of money back off of some of the players that let SISU shit all over them, just like they have with us fans, remember Sisu are like any other employer, they will always try and find ways of cutting cost, even if that includes trying to screw over their employees, admittedly it wouldn’t do a lot for morale but they wouldn’t give a toss
CovKingChris, i definitely wouldn’t call you or your Dad a liar as its something they would do if they could get away with it, can’t see it happening though mate
Only my opinion!!!!
The players are shitting all over the fans and the club with their over the top wages. They've just relegated the team to the 3rd tier for the first time in 50 years, I don't think they're in a particularly strong bargaining position.
Regardless, the story is a complete load of bollocks.
It's not as if Baker is Messi, so how will we know the reasons?We will see when we see the team lineups

Baker doesn't deserve a penny of his wages, not good enough or never fit. Another player that won't be missed once he fucks off.
I'm thinking along the lines of this is far fetched garbage. I'm sure SISU have put pressure on players over wages which is expected but why bother playing the likes of Baker on Saturday against Bristol just to keep him fit for warming the bench.

Providing all this is fact:
So is this revelation conducive to a happy dressing room even before a ball is kicked in anger - what a way to motivate a promotion campaign irrespective of the merits/de-merits of what type of bonus scheme is applied.
Rather late in the day but i agree if there is indeed a bonus element link it 100% to gaining promotion with no deviation - simple one would think !!!
Trying to understand if the 20% cut in wages is the result of last years relegation, which is understandable or is it SIiSU reneging on previously agreed pre season contracts hence all the current fuss ???
PUSB
My dad's, friend's next door neighbours cousin's wife told me that Carl Baker has Virgin, not Sky. She has no interest in football so it must be true.
Maybe he was switching from VirginSorry mate but that sounds very far fetched. 1 why would baker have sky installed 2 years after joining? A professional footballer of any standard would have sky. 2 why would baker disclose such personal financial information to a complete stranger and 3 if your dad has no interest in football why would he be discussing it with someone who I presume he has no idea who they are?
Don't buy that one I'm afraid
Is it possible that suggesting that the OP has sat at home and invented a story about Carl baker, bonus, salary drops, appearances and sky. Is just as unrealistic as the story itself. Which is more likely SISU to try and threaten something like this or the OP to have randomly created this story. I think SISU are trying it on. I don't think they can afford to see it through. What it does tell me if any of our boys are in demand in January, they will be sold even if we are top of the table. SISU want all existing contracts gone.
I think he maybe from Liverpool so will be unable to stop speaking. Have you ever seen liar liar I bet baker is like Jim Carey.
I just think it is too random to make up.
Sisu have got rid of most of the old contracts. I imagine everyone of our squad was up for grabs and these are the boys that were left over. I have no doubt that if tomorrow a team came in with an offer for each of these boys it would be accepted and AT told to sign replacements in order to reduce our biggest expense wages. Then they eventually will either be able to sell the club or the council will do business with them.
Can understand selling the boys. But bully boy tactics won't boost morale.
