Other clubs have “top-half” rules in place. Birmingham City have been known to increase figures during the opening months of the season to encourage a strong start. They do this by introducing a fixed bonus for victories between games one to 10 and then a lower amount thereafter.
Even at lowly Championship club Birmingham, Ivan Sunjic, who cost the club almost £7 million, has a £430,000 loyalty bonus paid every year.
