Derby County players have foregone their match-win bonuses this season.
The Mirror says they are turning down match by match win bonuses this season to aim for an all-or-nothing £6million jackpot as a reward for going up to the Premier League.
Steve McClaren's Rams are so determined to make up for their Wembley play-off heartache three months ago that they have changed their system of being paid extras.
Rather than incentives linked to each match, the Championship club's players want that cash put into a pot that they will split in the spring - but only if they get promoted.
If Derby do the business this season, it would mean that their regular players would be in for around £500,000 each.
