Guest Brazilianbob Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 My daughters ex is at Newcastle uni and he works as a steward at SJP for home games, so he will probably be one of those who will benefit from the generous £Im bonus.... if we win! The amusing part for me is he is an Arsenal fan. If his team wins he loses out on a wacking great bonus :-) Serves him right for messing my daughter about.!!!!

Cronky Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Intriguing gesture and adds a bit of spice to the last game. Well exactly. It's a way of motivating the players in what would otherwise be a meaningless game for them. If he recoups his money by the club finishing 5 places higher, then so what? Everybody wins.

Taylor Swift Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Let's put it this way, if he really wanted to give the non-football staff a bonus, he could have sacked Pardew in January and used the money from a top table finish to fund the bonus. Gambling against beating CL-chasing Arsenal to give people a bonus ffs Real man of the people. How is he gambling? These bonuses don't have to be paid! That's what a bonus is! He's offering something that he doesn't have to offer! How is he not a man of the people when he's offering his lowest paid employees more money? Your dislike of the man has seriously clouded your judgment of this one issue. Just because he fucked up last summer and with Pardew so far doesn't mean that all his good actions don't deserve credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the players will be too motivated by non-playing staff getting bonuses, but it's a nice thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chefs at the training ground, people who put their training gear and boots in the dressing room, masseurs, etc who they see on a daily basis. There'll be a bond of some sort there and they'll find it hard seeing them eye to eye if they don't put the effort in today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 This will go down in history as a masterstroke if we win today. It will put back the nefarious plans of the New World Order a hundred years.
