Maybe some of the older posters yer grandas as before my time, could highlight the contract. I'm ancient enough to know how to google it.. Quote Hibs chairman Tom Hart began hatching a plan. He pitched a pay-as-you-play deal to Best. The money was good. Best would receive in excess of £2,000 per game at a time when his new team-mates would be earning closer to £100. He would be allowed to live in London, fly up on the Thursday, train on the Friday, play at the weekend, then fly back down south. Given the No 11 shirt and a free role, there were even guarantees over playing time. It was all news to coach Eddie Turnbull. “The deal was done behind my back,” he would later claim. https://www.skysports.com/football/story-telling/11095/12133837/george-best-at-hibernian-the-story-of-the-legends-year-in-scotland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Can I nominate myself? Went to work on Tuesday and signed in with a finger print on a wee device, 'SORRY YOU CANT ENTER' Ok someone else would 'clock in' let me through the gates. Told the IT guys it's fucked, even showed them it fucked. Had to then check in with front office, so I get paid. Friday (today) morning while having my cuppa before work I put my hands to my head. Bought a new phone that wanted finger print easy access.... Different fingers boy.....sticking my wrong finger for work. Middle finger for work, index for phone ffs ETA - This morning I just fingered the correct and walking in.... so much fingering going on my life with no pleasure.

Pay as you play is probably just a misunderstanding of it. I obviously don't know for certain but I've heard of some players that are on a very basic weekly wage and have an appearance based bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When folk say it they really mean a player should be signed and only be paid if they play. It's usually in regards to players who used to be good but have become wasters, in the hope they can finally (this time!) settle and calm down and regain ar least some of their top for, or to good players who have been injured loads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
