## Resource

This week on the Fozcast, Ben and Tom break down Ben’s Second Watford contract he signed during the 2019/20 Premier League Season - what was he really earning… Ben reveals exactly how his Watford contract was structured, from weekly wages and appearance fees to clean sheet bonuses, win bonuses, relegation clauses and the incentives on offer that can massively impact a player's earnings. The lads discuss how bonus schedules really work behind the scenes - why some players can miss out on payments, the pettiest contract clauses Ben has heard from other players in the dressing room and what happens when a footballer's contract expires and the money suddenly stops… If you've ever wondered how Premier League contracts actually work, you are going to love this episode!
