[QUOTE=wrc2017;1236986]Serious question.. Would you work for your current employer for nothing, if you got a bonus from your previous employer?[/QUOTE

In a normal life I wouldn’t would work free unless there were some very odd circumstances attached to it. But as a sportsman/woman you have a limited career, so sometimes you might have to keep yourself in the game, with a view to future employment. If it was me I would make sure that the conditions were very clear that if I met agreed performance targets during the unpaid year, that I would be retained for the following year, and paid at an agreed upon level. Unfortunately for Lappi MSport aren’t short of options so his bargaining position isn’t the strongest to make many demands.
Probably his biggest asset is his future earning potential, which we know Wilson uses as a way to secure drives.
