Bristol Rob Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Following their loss on Friday. Nice gesture? Thin end of a very thick wedge? Their fault? Southampton players donate wages to charity after 9-0 mauling by Leicester https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/oct/28/southampton-players-donate-wages-to-charity-after-leicester-mauling?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Good gesture - I have bad days in work where shit goes bad with my name all over it but you do the best you can to rectify and move on - I still want my salary for the week so the fact these are giving it up has to be good irrespective of the fact they earn shed loads!!

Coxy27 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 No doubt people will complain that "it's only one day" etc and about how much they earn. However, the fact of the matter remains that they didn't have to do anything, so this is a great gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Good gesture. Something positive after what was a humiliating defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Anyone who criticises them for doing that is childish. The gesture may not be huge to them but at least it shows a bit of humility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 When I saw the headline........I thought cool! Then I saw it was for one day! After that performance it should have been a weeks wages? Stingey lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I will always have lots of time and respect for Southampton FC for how they supported our club during our darkest hours in 1982 - and the same goes for Ipswich Town FC - won’t hear a word against those two .... never forget ...

I've got vague recollections of watching the benefit game they played. I've buried it so deep, so deep. It's like you've resurrected a false memory.

wendyredredrobin Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Should've been a weeks wages based on that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I don't like they gave to charity because they felt guilty!? You should give to charity because you want to not to cover the cracks because you had a bad day at the office . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Charity and give to many different causes but I do this because I want to give.....if you made a mistake at work which we all do you do not need to make a gesture just because you feel bad. Giving to Charity should be something you do because you want to help others not take away what was just a bad day at the office at the end of the day. Yes it was a bad result and I'm not condoning that they gave to charity it is a good thing but for me it is annoying how it reported to be frank.

maxjak Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Surely it's the fans who should get some money? With the wages that Prem players earn now.........I estimate that if everyone from the squad who played that day (Bertrand pays double!} donated a weeks wages, then supporters would all get a free ticket for next home match? PS Only half joking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
