Now this is an employee incentive scheme we could really get behind.
Leicester City’s owners proved their generosity to fans last season, thanking them for their support with free beer and pizza.
But that pales in comparison to the treat waiting for players this morning – 19 BMW i8s were lined up at the training ground.
19 BMW i8 ready for the players following last season's triumph. What a chairman.

Images of the luxury cars were shown on Twitter – all lined up and awaiting their new owners.
A fan account has since posted another Tweet about the fleet – aimed directly at N’Golo Kanté.
The French star was a key man in their Premier League campaign last season, but has since departed to join Chelsea.

We guess they are suggesting the flash cars are a reward for loyalty as well as lifting the trophy.
When asked at his pre-match press conference whether he would get a car, manager Claudio Ranieri smiled: “Some gifts are only for them? Not for me? I want to speak with my owner.
“I am thinking about the match, not about the cars.”
The Foxes begin their Premier League title defence against Hull next week.
