In commercial life it is not usual to give employees a bonus on top of their salaries or wages
to induce them to carry out their duty to their employers.
It should not be necessary to do so in sport.
I am certain that the bonus is responsible for a not inconsiderable portion of the foul play that every- body who wishes well to the game: deplores.
Another contributory cause ls the transfer system. I do not think the lavish expenditure of money merely to get together a winning. team has in any way helped the game.
In all parts of the country when a club strikes a bad spell there are shricks for the directors to go into the market and buy players.
The ethics of the transfer system I am not concerned with at the mo- ment. In its present form I detent

An overhauling of the transfer system, and the abolition of the bonus per match in favour of talent money would have a healthy effort upon the game.
