in the early morning of september 25th, beijing time, chelsea will play against english league two team barrow in the third round of the english league cup. according to the telegraph, the bonus plan of this english league two club shows that if the players lose in this third round of the english league cup,each will receive a bonus of £1,000, but if they win at stamford bridge they will only receive £250 each.
the extraordinary document raises potential concerns about the integrity of the efl cup asbarrow appears to have actually given players a financial incentive to underperform in the game.
barrow fc declined to comment but a source within the club said there was an error in the bonus table which would be corrected.
the english football league (efl), which governs league two, also declined to comment, but according to the telegraph, they were not happy with barrow's strange bonus scheme. although it was not considered a violation of efl rules, the efl has asked the club to explain. this is the first time the efl has encountered a club offering a player a higher bonus for losing than for winning.
barrow is said to have communicated with the efl and assured it that the bonus formula will be revised. all clubs' bonuses must be agreed with players before the start of the season before they can be submitted to the efl.
in the efl cup, barrow will receive a winning bonus of £250 per round (from the first to the fifth round), but if the team loses to a premier league team from the third round onwards, the club will pay each player a bonus of £1,000.
in the extremely rare event that barrow wins the efl cup, the players will only receive a bonus of £1,000.
in contrast, barrow's fa cup bonus scheme is more logical. in the first few rounds, the winning bonus is 400 to 800 pounds per person, and from the third round onwards, the figure will increase to 2,625 pounds per person. if you lose to a premier league team, the players will receive a bonus of 1,000 pounds, and if you lose to a championship team, it will be 750 pounds.
