MANCHESTER City have offered first-team regulars at Eastlands the staggering sum of up to £1 million a man to take the club into the Champions League and win the FA Cup.
The huge bonuses will be paid, on top of sky-high salaries, if City finish in the top four, ahead of Champions League-chasing rivals Liverpool, Spurs and Aston Villa and win the club’s first trophy since 1976 in May.
City’s bonus structure easily outstrips any other Premier League club. New boys Patrick Vieira and Adam Johnson have joined City on a relatively-modest £38,000-a-week but both can triple their pay on appearances made, goals created and scored.
City’s players are all on £3,000 per point, but qualification for the Champions League would send players’ earnings rocketing.

I may have got this completely wrong but I thought these sorts of bonuses were not allowed to be introduced part way through the season??? Wasn't there a similar issue with Chelsea a few years ago and UEFA said it was not permitted to change the structure of players contracts on an ad hoc basis like this. May be dreaming but I am sure there was something that outlawed this sort of thing. As the OS have denied it, it is a dead story anyway but even if they wanted to I am not sure the owners can do it.
