calscot 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I think there is a difference between paying the going rate for a top footballer and deciding what huge bonus to pay yourself as a director of a newly trading company that has still not made a profit and indeed is making a loss. I thought usual thing in to do in this situation in business is to give share options, so when the business does well so do the directors, when it doesn't, they don't. Bonuses otherwise are often related to the balance sheet. Shareholders and directors usually share in the profits of a company, not bleed it dry and cripple it when it is making a loss. There isn't even the situation here where the loss was lower than expected due to director performance - the directors didn't even meet their own expectations. I think when Barry Ferguson was given his bonuses he actually achieved what was expected of him to earn them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The Boyd bonus scoop isn't exactly a "bombshell" by any stretch of the imagination. Must have been a slow scoop day in Leggoland. Either that or too many scoops! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting point at the end, does anyone know what the criteria for the bonuses were last season? Was it just for winning the league? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players who got out and win games and trophies for Rangers Football Club full deserve their bonus money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I am just against the bonus system. I believe people are paid to do a job and are paid to do their job as good as possible. I can't understand why someone who is paid millions to do their job also needs a bonus. I can understand that a part time team like Brechin reaching the CL would give their team a bonus but Rangers players are paid to be successful. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
