Isn't this the key?
How do you motivate mercenary multi- millionaires?
Last week Rednapp was saying that he done a great deal getting Jenas and Townsend for a combined wage of £25k per week.
Townsend is quoted as being on 'only' £3k a week and remember these figures are AFTER tax.
How many reading this take home £150k per year?
It's madness...... and we foolish feel sorry for Townsend as he is not 7 times worse than Jenas or 33 times worse than Samba....by the way both Jenas and Samba were poor yesterday.
Let's talk about wages the way that 99% of the world does per annum
Samba is on £5.2 million per annum.
If a player doesn't fancy it....like that pile of crap from the unmentionables he gets fined 2 weeks money.....then picks up his 50 x £65,000 = £3.25million per annum
ITS MADNESS
Madness.

The top clubs don't seem to have problems motivating players.
In the United States, I don't read about highly paid players in the various sports (often far, far higher than these wages) not being motivated.
They get their contracts: Then they are expected to perform.
These are professionals.
But still, surely there must be some way to "penalize"/not pay players who don't do what they're being paid to do

As long as we kid ourselves that paying bad players more money will increase the amount of success available to Clubs like QPR, we will go on welcoming one waste of space after another.
Clubs like ours are less successful than they ever were. And investors have made us so. Now we depend, not on finding rare talent, nurturing it, and achieving whatever we are capable of achieving once we have done so.
But on finding more and more talentless people. And paying them more and more money.
Because we have persuaded ourselves that we need them.
If we needed Fernandes's predecessors, how did we survive when they left?
The only people the Club can't do without is its supporters.

I KNOW it was just a coincidence (or great minds) But before the club started broadcasting at the end of last season "The Speech" I posted on this board So maybe need to find some other inspirational (beyond Churchill) Or perhaps this board's original "theme"

We could always do like they do at the Iranian protests. Get 200,000 people into a tiny area, have them surrounded by military types armed to the teeth and order them to shout death to America. It's called a free and peaceful protest. no one objects of course. Perhaps we could herd the team into a South Africa rd toilet and threaten them with the same??

Put Bosingwa in a wicker man and make the rest watch. Then tell that if anyone gives any less than 100% then they will be next week's votive offering.

Our players are just not very good, poor movement, technical ability and passing is always going to make us second best.

Hold there wallets hostage..............Would say say something close to them...........Hey that is the only thing close to around 70% of our squad!! & say your not getting your wallets back until you actually perform in a game!!...........Mind you I wouldn't have a clue where we could store the wallets...........The grounds fairly big but to keep those huge wads cash wallets might mean it would spill out all the way to White City Station!!.......... ;D ;D ;D

If motivation works, cpr, why spend big money on supposedly 'better' players. Sign bad ones for less. And 'motivate' them I just can't see why that would 'demotivate' the better sides with better players enough to enable us to win. And so far, at any rate, it hasn't.

You motivate players to perform well by radically restructuring their contracts. Pay them much lower weekly salaries such as £10,000 per week and top it up with performance related pay based on a combination of overall team performance and individual player performance. The team element should hopefully make them all pull together as a unit, whilst the individual element rewards those who give their best efforts week in week out. There is no reason why a combination of the three should not result in a total weekly salary of £60,000 but only if players pull their weight and show some loyalty via consistent strong performance.
