What he has done is absolutely remarkable.
Press have ran an article on him saying he gets to keep 25% of what he's raised around £60k, is that right?

It's bollox he does it via Gofundme, the only money that comes out of what he raises is 2.9% plus 30c per donation that goes to go fund me, the organizer gets 0%.. the only way Mick gets money is if he's sticking his hand into the collection buckets that have cash in.. and I sincerely hope he's not at that

Is this essentially a full time job for him?

If it is his full time job I've got no problems. All charities take a % out of any charity payment that you pay them for staff and overheads. Think mostwillbe surprised just how much charities take out to pay staff wages and other stuff.
 

I have no time for role models, for me they are much like celebrities; a meaningless construct of the tabloid purveyors of gossip, rumours and lies who seek to justify their existence by calling themselves newspapers, but Speedo Mick embodies something that is to be admired in people. I don't care if he is making a living out of this charitable acts, he has to be able to sustain himself and his family. How do the people who are now seeking to demean him think he lives. He is not one of these millionaire singer/actor types who preform acts of self publicity for children in need etc. and then head off to the palace for their gong.
I feel that people having a pop at him is an indicator for British society today, there is a man out performing acts of charity at a cost to himself and the rest of us who don't have the resolve to do the same have to find fault in him. It makes us feel better about ourselves, we don't want to aspire, we want to destroy aspiration.
 
Brilliant role model for younger generation to follow. Proud blue and sets good example for our club across the county. Amazing the amount of money he has raised which will help loads of people that need it. Also got a letter today from Everton in the community, saying they have been granted planning permission for the people’s project building for mental health. Proud to be a blue.
