Chelsea’s first-team players are fined a minimum
£20,000 (N9million) if they arrive late to training,
£1,000 (N463,749) if their phone rings during a
team meal or meeting and £5,000 (N2m) if they do not appear at corporate or charity events, according to an image leaked online of Frank Lampard’s rules
for his squad.
Players can also be docked £10,000 (N4.6m) if
they fail to report an injury or illness before a day
off or 90 minutes prior to a training session, while
every minute they are late for a team meeting costs
£500 (N231,822).
On top of the £20,000 (N9m) punishment for
arriving late to a session, the fine increases £2,500
(N1m) for every 15 minutes that a player is late.
The head coach is also strict regarding his players
staying in shape with those who fail to adhere to
body composition targets fined an unspecified amount.
Any fine that is not paid within a fortnight is doubled, with other punishments ranging from
£2,500 (N1m)) for turning up late to medical treatment and £5,000 (N2m) for failing to provide
more than 48 hours notice if a player is not travelling on the team coach after a game.
Players who fail to report dressed in the wrong
clothing are fined £1,000 (N463,749), while agents
are not allowed at the training ground unless prior
notice has given and are there in an official
capacity.
All money goes to team activities or associated
charities.
