Chairman Karl Oyston has offered the Blackpool squad a £5 million bonus should they achieve promotion this season.
This echoes the bonus scheme of 2009/10, where the team shared a bonus pot of the same value following their meteoric rise to the Premier League.
After former loan player Marcel Seip was awarded £70,000 in a tribunal earlier this week for contesting the decision not to award him a bonus payment -Oyston has decided to lessen players' influence on bonus distribution.
Originally, club captain (Jason Euell), the PFA representative (Paul Rachubka) and Stephen Crainey voted to exclude three players (including Seip) from the bonus pot.
Speaking to the Blackpool Gazette, Oyston said: "When I do this year's bonus negotiations it will be back to the old format, which is myself, the manager and one player, and we won't allow ourselves to be dragged down the rather pointless road that we were dragged down this time.
"I intend to keep the bonus structure more or less as it was, a £5m bonus to be distributed as the players require but with the guidance of myself and the manager this time."
