Huddersfield Town players will "receive a bonus pool" of £4M ($5.2M) to share between them as a "reward for the club winning promotion to the Premier League for the first time," according to Matt Hughes of the LONDON TIMES. The club is "expected to make at least" £185M ($238.2M) over the next four years after beating Reading in penalties in the League Championship playoff final to "secure a return to the top flight for the first time in 45 years." Huddersfield Town Owner Dean Hoyle will "immediately pass on a significant percentage to the players as part of a bonus scheme agreed last summer." The bonus pool is worth "over a third of the club's wage bill for this season" and is "likely to lead to some players doubling their salaries for the year." The £4M pot will be "distributed according to the number of appearances made throughout Huddersfield's 46-match league campaign" plus three playoff games. Huddersfield used 25 players in league play, and if they had made an equal number of appearances they would each receive £160,000 ($206,000). Huddersfield's bonus scheme is "comparable to that of leading Premier League clubs and far more generous considering the size of the club, which has a turnover" of £13M ($16.7M). In comparison, Chelsea players "shared a pot" of £5M ($6.4M) for winning the Premier League, while ManU paid its squad a £1M ($1.3M) bonus for winning the Europa League. Huddersfield Manager David Wagner is also "set to cash in, with the club preparing to offer him a new contract" worth more than £2M ($2.6M) a year (LONDON TIMES, 5/31).
