BS4 on Tour... Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 The EFL have asked Accrington’s owner for a full explanation as to why he buys his players a burger when they win...apparently the ‘burger scheme’ is breaching regulations as it is not mentioned in the players’ contracts and therefore it contravenes the rules whereby all ‘payments and benefits’ made to players must be disclosed....what is the world coming to?!

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Tax related? Payments in kind maybe...HMRC really are/have been clamping down on things in recent years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus scheme has to be agreed at start of season....it’s to avoid those stupid one off payments from the chairman, e.g. need to win last game, therefore here’s a £1m to share if you do it. I think it’s pro-rated based on appearances too. And yes I expect Mr Revenue would like to know too. I might have to declare my curry Source bonus on our chips when we won an away game for Brislington! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Accrington just need to tell the EFL to burger off. How they reward their players is entirely up to them. This merely reinforces the recent report that said the EFL wasn't fit for purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesco Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 How does this differ from when Ranieri was buying the Leicester players pizza after they won a game? The Premier League didn't seem to care to much about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
