The list of penalties includes £20 for skipping breakfast before 10:10 am, £50 for giving away their match shirt, and a whooping £200 for arriving late to a team outing.
Paul Mullin, the star striker for Wrexham, has revealed details about the club’s severe fines policy implemented by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. He disclosed in his most recent book: “We have an embedded system of club fines that helps to enforce discipline.
“The list is displayed on the door of the changing room: £20 for being late to a meeting, the gym, or training. £100 late on matchdays. £100 late for the bus. Overdue for a £100 team outing. Missing a £200 team outing due to absence. £20 for skipping breakfast by 10.10 a.m. £10 phone going off. Avoiding flip-flops while taking a shower £5. flip-flops while attending a £10 game.”
£10 is spent cleaning boots in the shower. Offering a £50 match shirt for free.”
Mullin also shared that there are fines for not following health and fitness rules.
Smaller fines can also lead to a spin of the roulette wheel or a roll of the dice. The guilty party could end up not having to pay the fine or being forced to “start a boy band”.
Mullin acknowledged that he has frequently received the more severe penalties. “Unlucky, and you could end up at Tesco buying shower gel for everyone,” he remarked.
“The dice come next. Every number denotes a forfeit, which can be extremely painful. It could be awkward to perform a silent disco in front of the guys or a lap around the field in your panties in the sideways sleet of January, but it wouldn’t be too bad in May.
“If your bad luck continues, you’ll have to spend a day pretending to be a boy band, dressed in the squad numbers of the teammates on either side of you. That’s Ollie Palmer and Liam McAlinden in my instance, and not many people are interested in hearing that!
Alternatively, you will have to pay for dinner for those same players. Slightly less complicated, but no less agonising, is the demand that you deposit £50 into the players’ bank account. The majority of these, regrettably, are the results of my constant forgetting to wear my flip-flops in the shower.
“Regardless of whether we’ve broken any fines rules or not, we all have to spin the roulette wheel before the Christmas do. I did nothing at all last year, and I was stung for £50. What? Not at all! “What’s happening here?”
