I have no idea how the deal has gone down but I'd be amazed if these aren't leased at a very favourable rate.

Leased ? How do you gift a lease , would have them moaning having to give the car back ? 

 

maybe your right but I'm told the liability to the club is 110k per unit with all tax obligations met

Ok if you think it's a gift, I'll not argue as I have no idea but getting back to my income tax issue.

Say the price per car is £110k inclusive, someone will have to pay income tax on these cars since it's a benefit in kind to an employee.

Either the players pay which seems unlikely seeing as it's a gift or the club pays the tax, which when accumulated is £90,000 on top of the price of the car.

If the taxable value is £110,000,that would suggest they paid £60,500 per car.  Not a bad discount.

Honestly?

 

 

Because giving a gift to an employee is probably a tax write off, whilst giving gifts to random fans probably isnt...

The owners have done it to reward the players for CL football and winning the title. Our bonus system only paid out for a 10th place finish or below.

Can't believe some people are moaning about this, what our players achieved last season was out of this world and there was no bonus agreed for winning the league beforehand as it was unimaginable. Also, it's just another thing that might make certain players realise how great the club is and help keep them here

I can.

 

I've been around here long enough to see people moaning about getting free beer.

couldve at least personalised the plates man like jeff will spend 90% of next season trying to find out which one is his 

Can just imagine the picture story after a heavy defeat and all the players coming out of the stadium, keys in hand, and not having any idea which car is their own. Just perfect for the headline "Clueless" or "Little Boys Lost".   

 

Mind you, if we win convincingly they could have Ranieri standing in front of the cars, driver's doors wide open and waving an ignition set saying:-   "Key-p It Up Lads!".

Anyone who thinks the club paid full price for these is crackers.

 

They used to have an I8 sat next to the big staircase entrance to the main stand every game, Synter work or did work with the club.

 

They would've bought these for a price per car no one on here could get near, still a brilliant gesture from the owners.

 

Just hope they all have a 'City champions' badge stuck in the centre of the rear window and an air freshener hanging from the mirror.

Only my opinion but I think this is fantastic all round.

 

To put this into context if your boss paid you a non contracted 10% bonus for helping make your business top of its national sector then you would be over the moon.

 

Presuming an average of £1.5m per year salary that this is the level of the bonus that the owners have bought our history makers!!

 

I for one would be absolutely delighted as we all would if employers did this to successful team members and I do not think anyone could argue that the team earned this!!!

How about a Noble M600 - at least that's built in Leicester...

 

.....mind you not sure they could manufacture (nail together) 19 at the drop of a hat !

We the fans have the title to brag about and to enjoy forever. As fans it's tough asking for more than that knowing full well the FA wants big named clubs in Europe and the so called big clubs have a monopoly on the title. So much money involved and we the fans will have our prize forever.

 

The added money is there and good to see some of it passed down from the owners to the players. They could have kept it all for themselves.
