No Play, no pay?

Quote from Bobby in today's Journal:
"As things stand if Domi doesn't play he doesn't get paid and perhaps he will come back when the money dries up."

Is this true? I thought it was in players' contracts that they got paid no matter what. If somebody slipped a no play, no pay clause into Domi's contract, that person deserves some applause! Should be standard for every player. Especially in cases like this where a player willingly refuses and it's got nothing to do with injury.

I think you can suspend and fine him every week for breaching his contract which efectively stops him from being paid.

Reports today sugest that a £3.25 million bid from AC Milan for him is imminent.

I'd like to see the toe-rag sued for breach of contract. Unfortunately, they could probably only assess damages at the level of his wages, so the outcome would be the same.
