I've said here for a long time that our contracts are heavily weighted towards big bonus payments - as I believe it should be, but of course other clubs don't agree.....and pay bigger flat contract payments and smaller percentage bonus's...of course the club is still attacked by those who can't or won't see the necessity/prudence of having heavily incentivized contracts - but at least this proves my info was rock solid....

Much is made of Tottenham's wage structure but not the bonuses

Tottenham chief excites fans with bold transfer statement during 'difficult' January window
Tottenham Hotspur's wages structure is often a topic of debate but that discussion rarely includes the club's bonus scheme for its players.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy brought up that very point at the latest meeting last week between members of the club's board and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust.
The future of defender Toby Alderweireld mired in speculation in recent weeks, with reports that he asking for £150,000 a week, a figure that the stories claim Spurs will not agree to.
Much has been made of the wages paid at Tottenham compared to their Premier League top four rival. However, football.london has always understood that the bonuses paid out at the club are the biggest in the division and Levy has now confirmed that at the meeting with the supporters' trust.
The Supporters' Trust secretary Peter Haine brought up the subject of the bonuses paid to players at the club.

The minutes of the meeting read: "Peter Haine mentioned the bonus payments, also. It was felt the bonus structure and incentives should also be considered when discussing players wages as they comprised a significant part of the monies and are the most generous of any club in the Premier League."
football.london understands that it was Levy who responded with the claim about the bonus structure and incentives. That would go some way to explaining why, along with the management of Mauricio Pochettino, players like Harry Kane and Dele Alli aren't desperately trying to find a way out of the club as some reports might suggest.

Daniel Levy's update on Tottenham's new stadium naming rights negotiations may surprise fans
The Spurs chairman also revealed that the club spend roughly 50 per cent of their income on the players and he had plenty to say on manager Mauricio Pochettino and the future sale of players.
"Daniel Levy felt that Mauricio Pochettino is the best manager in all the time he has been at Tottenham," read the minutes from the meeting. "They see eye to eye in terms of strategy. No player would be sold that Mauricio Pochettino wanted to stay.
"Daniel Levy noted the perception that Spurs needed to spend money on players. This wasn’t borne out of fact. There are no guarantees. Big money signings are not always successful."
