Everton Manager Frank Lampard's List Of Fines Revealed After He Returns To Management
Lampard embarks on his third managerial position after spells at Derby and Chelsea, where he is the club's record goalscorer.
While at Chelsea, the former England midfielder introduced a fine system to keep his players in check.
There was a list of 12 in total and they were all signed off by Lampard on 27 August 2019, with the fines being typed up, framed and placed on the wall as a reminder to the squad.
One punishment that catches the eye is £500 for every minute that a player is late to a team meeting.
It's £1,000 for being late to the gym and taking or making a phone call during a team mall.
The most expensive fine on the list is a whopping £20,000 fine for players who are late for training.
Other notable entries on the list included failing to turn up to community events as well as not travelling back on the team bus, which both cost £5000 respectively.
The fines needed to be paid within 14 days but in the event they weren't, players were forced to pay double the initial fee.
The funds raised went towards team activities and charitable bodies.
Here is the list in full:
1. Late for matchday/first-team departure - £2,500
2. Late for report time for training - £2,500 (plus £2,500 for every 15 minutes thereafter)
3. Late in gym for pre-activation - £1,000
