I was thinking about this. With our renowned heavily incentivised contracts, I wonder how much extra we'd be paying out in wages for player and managers contracts if we win the EL and also CL qualification and how that eats into the thought that succeeding in the EL was balancing out some of the merit payments we were losing thru a 16th/17th league place finish?

Given the amount of money at stake for league positions, I'd imagine there is some sort of clause in there that links bonuses to league position. Levy is famed for incentivising everything he can.

Yep
But he would also be paying out a CL and a cup bonus

True.

It's not how much we spend that matter it's the quality of the purchase that's important. We've got a lot wrong and changing managers frequently makes it more difficult to get it right.

He had a deal with Southampton where he got a cut of future fees for players he signed which they later made a profit on.

Then he came to us and kept recommending we buy Southampton players.

‘Kept recommending’ is a big exaggeration. The few Southampton players he wanted us to buy were all very good.
