CotswoldRed Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 If I was on that sort of money and I wanted to help people it wouldn't be spent on football fans. In my list of 1000 needy groups of people they probably come in the 900s somewhere. On a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol south end Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Remembering that 300k is Wayne Rooney's basic wage! On top of that he will have no doubt advertising contracts with different groups. He would even be able to off set any money given against his tax anyway. In this day and age where greed seems to be king I very much doubt if this would happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I know it isn't voluntary/charitable but how much tax does Wayne Rooney pay per month?That would depend on how good his Accountant is. My guess is that it will be a lot less than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyseconds Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thats no good. The modus operandi of the premier league is that greed is good. Givings lovely monies to others mean less nice tings for Wayner and Cashley. Premier league stars just die for the lack of a good diamond encrusted crapper brush. Those clubs could have kids coaches instead of diamond studs .... But whats the point of that? Spain and Germany do that and they be crap at football. Better that Ferrari have tvs cash.

Always Believesham Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I disagree - you'd be speeding up the cost of inflation for football related services Going 50:50 (for example) would mean large cuts, which makes them more affordable, so - in line with demand, the costs can go up, because the sales are strong Impacts: Companies then get used to pulling in the extra money and pay staff more Clubs pay players more to compensate for this donation - leading prices within football to increase This then becomes a farce, prices can't come down, players are being payed more than the increase they will inevitably get Gve a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for life (etc. etc.) Football fans should be encouraged and supported by clubs to get involved in the business' that rely on football - even if it is just matchday 'work'. Why pay someone who doesn't really care when there's someone that would like to be there who will put money straight back into the club or local businesses used by the club?

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think you're absolutely right, it would be good to see some of that money going back to their roots, schools, local clubs, local leagues, many of whom are in desparate need of relatively small sums for changing facilities, pitches etc. However, I would just like to disagree with your thread title as donating in this way is not the sole preserve of socialists. Many industrialists, successful businessmen, financiers etc, people who could hardly be described as socialists, set up foundations and invest in various good causes.Apologies, the word 'humanitarian' would have been more appropriate. Still reckon if I were on a 5 or 6 figure wage, per week, I'd be sorting all sorts of things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 The super rich have super tax advisors. The super tax advisors then reinvest part of their personal wealth so created in grass roots football in struggling league one teams that they happen to be supporters of. Simples. The circle of life.

WhistleHappy Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 ...according to the thread re: Cats Coaches .... our impoverished club arent prepared to risk a small monetary loss despite a demand from loyal supporters by providing an extra coach if theres a chance it might not sell out. On the other hand we hear continually how much the support means to both club & players, indeed fans are oft referred to as the 12th man, lifting the team and contributing to good results (God knows we need every point we can muster right now btw) So the club cant afford to risk a few tenners on a partially filled coach (really?.. tch) How about some of our (not short of a bob or two) players chipping in to make up any shortfall..?? Actually why dont they fund a whole extra free coach?? - would be a great gesture putting money (just a little money) where their mouths are by giving back and really showing the fans how much they are appreciated... Just a thought. An extra 100 or so travelling supporters might just make a difference & even help to earn a valuable point or two... Avoiding the drop will also of course safeguard the clubs income & players wages next year, so it could prove a very sound small, investment indeed.

tinman-is-god Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 The top 5% own 85% of the wealth in this country. Do they pay 85% of the tax - er no more like 40% . So they are not paying their way. I think that it's a good thing that the rich contribute more now than ever before, personally. Threshold is low enough to encourage trade but high enough to yield good levels of tax receipts. It works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
