Dynamo Kiev fine their players if they don’t win
Or a bit harsh?
The Spoiler absolutely hates it when we’re having a nice chat with someone about life, love and why England don’t win anything, and they come out and say:
“Yea, well the reason England are rubbish is because they’re all over-paid prima donnas who only care about money and stuff.”
The reason we hate that argument is because, you know, it’s b*llocks – Barcelona are the highest paid sports team in the world after all. However, Dynamo Kiev are currently testing the theory to breaking point by docking players wages if they lose…
Speaking to BBC Sport, Nigerian midfielder Yusuf Atanda Ayila had this to say:
“It’s really difficult in Dynamo. If you’re there you always want to win, because if you lose they take it out of your salary.
“At first, I protested but other players told me that everyone pays for losing here.
“Yea, well the reason England are rubbish is because they’re all over-paid prima donnas who only care about money and stuff.”

“At first, I protested but other players told me that everyone pays for losing here.”So you see the players fighting on the pitch for two major reasons: to win and keep our money in our pockets.
“You don’t get paid for a difficult home or away draw, so at the club it’s all about winning and nothing else.
“Generally people understand that in sport you win, lose or draw but at this club winning is the only language they understand.”
It appears there may have been some language difficulties in recent years, with Shakhtar Donetsk winning the Ukrainian Premier League for the past two seasons.
They’ve only lost eight games in that period though, so they won’t be out on the streets just yet.
Does seem a bit harsh to us though. Thoughts?

Its the same thing as giving out bonuses for wins but done backwards.
>Yea, well the reason England are rubbish is because >they’re all over-paid prima donnas who only care >about money and stuff.”
Of course thats stupid.
Its because the players are crap. Its because many national team players are subs on their club teams (Im not even talking about keepers here).
Its because the 1st division is composed of mainly foreign players and so on…
Lots of reasons why they dont win. Low talent=high media buildup is a big one.

Surely, this clause must be there in the players contracts. This Nigerian player should have read it. And incase there is no such clause, then the Nigerian got full right to sue his club and make a lot of money out of the club!
