Well if you live in an area with a private road it goes to prove there’s money in Parcels lol

Haha! I wish. Truth is, on this crowded island, you might be surprised at how close by the fabulously wealthy and the desperately poor can live.

 

[Nyhus]

This has to be a joke? Let clubs donate 250k each to local charities insted.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

The working class game.

I’ve seen it in Dublin
Georgian houses on Merrion square Worth 3 to 5 m and 500 yards away is blocks of council flats , but never the Twain shall meet

This is an utter disgrace and underlines the contempt people now have for the 'business' side of football.

It is one thing actual footballers and managers being on obscene wages, but it has well and truly extended to a growing army of agents and administrators too.

What a message to send to wider society after a prolonged period of recession.

Let Chelsea pay him if they want.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

This is a great idea.
I hope everyone on GOT will donate £2,500 each towards my retirement when the time comes.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Surely he's made enough money out of being a Jockey and training horses that he doesn't need this money?

 

[Brisan123]

We will pay up now if you retire from the internet as well lol

The guys played a large part in turning the premier league into the biggest sports league in the world. He has helped make clubs obscene amounts of money. Everton have benefited from this massively as have all the other clubs. Its a bit of a false equivalency to compare him to agents who haven’t added any value to the league or clubs.

 

[Sharpies volley]

So he got the clubs a good deal with the TV money. That was his job for which he got extremely well paid. As someone else earlier so eloquently put it. GET TO F***

 

[roydo]

Thing is, he has done a very good job as head of the PL, and also seems to come over as a nice enough bloke.

Perhaps he will accept the "gift", and split it between some suitable/favourite charities.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

What for?
Okay he's made clubs very rich .
I bet his pay included bonuses etc which covers that.
He's probably got a pension pot that would clear a small country's debt

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

He’s been on mega money no doubt his bonus has been through the roof for every mega tv deal and his goodbye gift is £5m ,why football has to do this when normal fans are being priced out of the game is beyond me

 

[Connor]

He makes £2.5m a year including bonuses and has sold fans out with his TV Packages.

Clubs should be donating that 250k to a local charity or somewhere in grass roots football. Tell him to do one.

 

[evertonarntwe]

Would tell him to swivel. paid over 2 million a year anyway, im sure he'll be fine

don't half hate rich people like that
