Cardiff’s £10m prize

CARDIFF’S players are in line to share a bonus of £10million if they gain promotion to the Premier League, Sportsmail can reveal. If Neil Warnock’s side, who lie second in the automatic promotion spots, reach the top flight via the play-offs, the total money pool reduces to £8m, still one of the highest in the division. By comparison, Leicester’s squad were handed £6.5m for winning the Premier League title in 2015-16. Cardiff’s prize-money would be shared equally per match by each member of Warnock’s 18-man squads, regardless of whether individuals played or not. That means anyone who features in all 46 match-day squads would receive more than £550,000. Warnock is also in line for a big bonus.
