Nothing extra for Arrows’ players

Posted: 2009-10-26 10:20

Golden Arrows players will not be getting anything extra for winning the MTN8 Cup Final.

This was revealed by Abafana Bes’hende owner Mato Madlala when she told KickOff.com, “Why do players have to be paid incentives when they get paid for playing football and their job is winning the Cup?
 
“At Arrows, we don’t talk about incentives. “We don’t pay incentives; this is our culture and nothing is going to change. You only get rewarded by the personal achievement you get on the field of play.”
 
Madlala congratulated her team for a wonderful performance displayed beating Ajax Cape Town 6-0 at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.
 
Arrows wrote their own history when they brought back a trophy to KwaZulu\Natal. It is more than 15 years since AmaZulu won the Coca-Cola Cup in 1992.
 
Arrows accomplished their feat in great style when they beat the Urban Warriors by 6-0 in Soweto on Saturday.
 
Madlala added that there would not be any celebrations either for winning the Cup as their main focus now remains on their campaign in the Absa Premiership this season.
 
“I am happy for myself; I am happy for my players and for the whole team. They worked hard for this and deserve it. Unfortunately, there won’t be time to hold celebrations as we are also playing on Wednesday and the weekend and now the focus has to remain with the League.”

Ah please! @ least a bonus for wonderful work done

Phumlani: 2009-10-26 10:39

Madlala is lying, they just don't want to disclose it to the public and i understand them because it's non of our business. You can't win that sum of money and tell me that the players won't get performance bonuses

Nox : 2009-10-26 10:39

This is sad for the players coz they a not paid that much and majority of these players dont even have car

phuti: 2009-10-26 10:39

lol...then this is your forst and last trophy....ask pirates fans, they know what it does to the players when they know they will only get remuneration but no work related bonuses...hey Mato, will you say no to PSL bonuses?

vcta : 2009-10-26 10:39

Les: 2009-10-26 10:43

Arrows Players must be feeling disrespected.

Performance based incentives are part of HR strategies. If Manto wants to win the leaque and retain this players she must start rewarding and respecting them.

junior: 2009-10-26 10:48

if thats the case then forget about winning anything in the future.no wonder other teams never wins anything,e.g bo Pirates cos they dont get promised anything.

Benjamin: 2009-10-26 10:52

I totally agree with Mrs Madlala, it is the players job to win games and get paid at the end of the month.

Gfunk : 2009-10-26 10:53

Hopefully that attitude doesnt work against u,players will start voting with their feet,like they doing at nappy people,pierats will not win any cup bcos they dont give incentives.

Manto, please think again, having R8M its a lot & players deserve a half of it, stop being selfish those players really deserve it.

please consider for decision for the sake of nt loosing players to beigger clubs.

THUSO : 2009-10-26 10:55

SHAME ON U MAMA.U R SO SELFISH.THOSE GUYS DESERVE RESPECT.I WISH COMITIS WON IT.WINNING THE LEAGUE IS A WILD DREAM WITH YOUR IRON FIST APPROACH.SIS MAGOGO!

You are just greedy, pure and simple!

it is rewally true Arrows deos mot have bonuses

i heard their coach on Metro Fm on friday and he exclusively disclosed that Arrows palyers do not get promises of incentives

apperently the Md has he days of rewarding palyers

Thabang [The KHOSI One]: 2009-10-26 11:04

She's a diplomat; She's definitely going to give these boys something but she JUST doesnt want to brag about it in the media like her opposite numbers in the PSL.

COMMITIS had already tranfered 4 million into various BANK accounts on his players but now he has to deal with the agony of reversing all those transactions, good luck GEORGE!

The Lesson is: DONT SWALLOW BEFORE YOU CHEW....!! The latter comes first!!

The KHOSI One

KGOPAS : 2009-10-26 11:05

That is the exact route to relegatiom, it is up tn the players to show this woman what player power can do.

Mazi : 2009-10-26 11:06

SIS Mato ithi uyadlala! Because if you not joking you will kiss those boys goodbye and dont say this is your policy coz this your first trophy that means your so called policy starts now, but your couch said you gave players bonuses for finishing ön the fifth place, here you are just kiding we know they will share half the price. Anywhere congratulations for giving Gr 8 perfomance on saturday.

Siphiwe: 2009-10-26 11:07

Thank you gents fro representing Durban and KZN as a whole you guys did us proud, I'm also glad that you not getting a big head after winning this Cup and that you are focusing on sports and not trivial things anyway keep up the good work!

hlongwanes@gmail.com: 2009-10-26 11:13

THIS IS NORMAL - ALL OVER THE WORLD.
ONLY IN SA PLAYERS WANT HALF THE WINNINGS, THEY GET PLAYED SALARIES, SIGNING ON FEES AND IT'S THEY'RE JOB TO WIN TROPHIES.
MANAGEMENT PAYS FOR ADMINISTRATION, TRAVEL, DEVELOPMENT, STADIUM RENTAL. THIS IS THIRD WORLD MENTALITY - FOR THE FACT THAT SUCH A QUESTION IS ASKED IS STUPID.

Fred: 2009-10-26 11:15

Mato Madlala is obsessed with Ivan Khoza, what Ivan does...she does. Am convinced that one of the reasons Pirates is not winning anything is their bonus clause now this woman is implementing it @ Arrows. Does she want her team to go 10+yrs without a cup?

Muporo: 2009-10-26 11:19

give players at least half of the money. don't be too selfish. A bonus is given for achievement and your have players have achieved. i don't think it was your target at the beginning of the season to win the cup. your target was to stay in the PSL.

Siyaz: 2009-10-26 11:20

hahaha! Iron Duke and Mato have a lot in common, hence their teams hardly win anything. I wonder what else is common between them.

Ck: 2009-10-26 11:20

What an anti climax, poor Arrows players. They are the only PSL side that does not have an annual year end function and now they win a cup they dont even give something to players....Im sure they are the worse payers as well cause I'be seem most of their players leave in abject poverty compared to other PSL players......

Hehehe...It's been a while we seen your comments.
What you are saying is the truth, though it hurts. It is even worse in national team. I questioned Benson Mhlongo and crew before Confed Cup when they demanded bonuses before the tournament. I don't recall the likes of Spain, Brazil, Engalnd, Italy, etc... demanding money to play for their countries. This country is a joke...

Bonga: 2009-10-26 11:22

Mato u r a disgrace. May the players bring u down to earth thru poor performances. I wish my team (Bucs) can snatch Sangweni from Arrows, not bcos I know him from his boyhood in Dondotha but for what he is capable of.

Vuyani: 2009-10-26 11:24

Congratulations bafana besthende well done! What an own goal by Ajax. By the way all the clubs do have theit own cultures but some seem to backfire! If what Mato says here is what really gonna happened its unfair for the players!
I hope she is just giving the media something to write about!

Elijah : 2009-10-26 11:26

I feel sick for Arrows players. If anyone deserves cash it is them. Manqoba and his boys have consistently improved over the years, played exciting football and now they get nothing. Very unfair!

virus@ukzn: 2009-10-26 11:29

she wouldnt do that i know..they won by a six goal margin..surely she is going to give them something...she is just being proffessional by not disclosing their domestic affairs.

No bonuses to players who brought a trophy to KZN after 17 years of drought? What a disgrace! This is plain Slavery. There's nothing wrong with the payment of incentives to players especially after such a great display...

This woman is greedy she does not want to reward her players for going extra mile. she mustn’t be surprised when they start losing games. Imagine is psl didn’t have all these players incentives because they are giving the clubs monthly allowance. Incentives are the reason for outstanding performance from the players.

Marenkeni: 2009-10-26 11:38

I SAW MANTO KISSING IRVIN AT EMPIRE ROAD IN PARKTOWN HEHEHE. I HAVE PROOF, HER TONGUE WENT THROUGH IVRIN'S GAP BETWEEN THE TEETH HAHAHA.

Hlalele: 2009-10-26 11:39

Hey guys lets admit it. Arrows were simply untouchable. Simply HOT. I think they were going to win no matter which team they met. Mrs Madlala has a point but where are we living? A world with bonuses is the answer. And it simply is going to distract a good team. These players have to remain with Arrows for three to four seasons at least. If they can fall into traps from the bigger teams(bigger because they can pay better not play better) it would be the end of their roads. Hang on there and establish your selfs guys.

BrokeFan: 2009-10-26 11:48

Ajax's caretaker coach Jan Pruijn said this about Arrows "They were hungrier"

I wonder what he is really trying to say when he says "They were hungrier". Is it because they are from KZN?

Swona (Treble): 2009-10-26 11:50

promise SA ordinery players millions you get nothing, GA has class, and that will keep them up there, on top, your big teams will finish season after season with not silverware, Pleas remove Teko on my right

Sfiso M: 2009-10-26 11:51

Congratultions Manqoba and the rest of the arrows family except sis Mato. Mato if what you are saying is true, you dont deserve these players. Money pays the bills everyone even soccer players gets motivated if they get what they deserve, and they have earned that money when no one gave them a chance. Mato you must prepare to get new players when the contracts of your players expire because they will leave you & your culture. Selfish mama

Sfiso M: 2009-10-26 11:53

Ajax coach said "they were hungrier" I say they are still hungry.

Zolani: 2009-10-26 11:57

I hope Mrs Madlala is not saying the truth here because IF this is true she has lost all my respect. I mean, she is in the psl board and she is one of the borad members who received the controversial TV rights and other sponsorship bonuses and that was her job to do. Now she comes and say the players won't be given incentives for clinching a Trophy? No wonder some teams struggle top win trophies. I hear some people comparing this to International clubs, I wish they can go a step further and compare the salaries of these players.

Well done to Arrows players, may you go on to find a team that will appreciate your achievements.

S\'busiso: 2009-10-26 11:59

THAT IS UNCALLED FOR.THOSE BOYS DESERVE BONUSES 4 A VERY GUD JOB THEY DID ON SATURDAY.FROM NOW ON MATO,4GET ABOUT ANY CUP CAUSE U ONLY THINK 4 UR OWN POCKET.U R DISCOURAGING THE PLAYERS BY NOT GIVING THEM INCENTIVES U MOOOOOEEEEEGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

King, he's paid well, so is his players, they get good incetives anualy, this trophy will add up to those incentives thats how the real world operates, deliver and get everything added, and it adds a lot of value

PLAYERS ARE LIKELY TO GIVE THEIR BEST AND BE MORE WILLING TO DIE IN THE FIELD FOR THE TEAM, IF THE TEAM ITSELF APPRECIATES THEIR EFFORTS...

IF THE TEAM KNOWS HOW TO PUNISH PLAYERS WHEN THEY'VE DONE WRONG, WHY WOULD IT FAIL TO SHOW APPRECIATION WHEN THE PLAYERS ARE DOING WELL.

Mato Madlala: if what you're saiying is true mmnhh then i think you're the most useless leader i've ever seen,
I must admit that you actually look smart but you remove all the doubts when you start opening your mouth.

If you don't reward these boys for real for their job then i wish you could go satraight to relagation next season.....This is pathetic ....i've never heard of leaders like you

Kali: 2009-10-26 13:06

Arrows owners are hiding their heads in sands. We all know at the end of this season, Pirates and Sundowns will poach 4 players from Arrows and they will want to go these teams. Cheaps at least pays minimal wages so I don't see Nhlanhla Zothwane going where he will be paid the same salary he's getting.

Zico : 2009-10-26 13:07

its journalist like this that destroys our soccer, just trying to destabilise Arrows. and whoever believess this story is just as stupid as the writer. maybe u should 1st find out the fincial situation of this team they dont have many sponsors like your Pirates/Chiefs so this money will come in handy for the team.

Manto was down-playing this bonus issue deliberately. It was revealed on other news bulletin that players will get half of the total prize, and that players must put this behind minds to concentrate on the next game. On the same issue, I don't want to be Ajax Cape Town fan, it was really embarrasing socre [6-0(love)]. This is really a tennis match score, where we don't say zero instead it is love.

Well done Manto, this is the best news after some time in South African soccer fratenity. Players are workers and winning games is their team altimate goals like all working individual in their respective companies. If their teams perform exceptionally well for the whole season, then they will be entitled to performance bonuses like all of us. Winning one cup final thus not entitles players to bonuses, they mus out-perform other players the whole season. The only incentive they can be entitled to is merit award if you only take results based on each specific cup games. THUMPS UP SIS MATO.

Do you know what these will mean to the loyal Arrows supporters?

On the other hand i will say your timing of these story is spot on,considering who they will play next.
