Using football (soccer) as my example, players in the biggest (money earning) leagues receive a large weekly wage with smaller bonus sums payable on certain achievements.
As more clubs are purchased by investors and other business-minded people, is this model expected to change in the medium- to long-term?
The current model provides little financial motivation for players to maintain a consistent output, and clubs income is mostly derived from league position and qualification for additional competitions.
Is 'player power' in team sports which are currently being bought up by businesses likely to diminish?
