| Saints First Team Squad Donate £10k To Saints Foundation 12:45 - Mar 8 with 1586 views | SaintNick |
The first thing I thought was good on em ! But them I did a bit of maths, £10k divided by 25 squad members = £400 each.
If we say they average around £25k a week each in wages then they are donating around 1.5% of their weekly wage to charity.
If we say the average man in the street earns around £25,000 a year then in relative terms this is the equivalent of the average man donating £7.21 to the Saints foundation.
Call me cynical, but I don't think this is a very good effort from our squad |  |

Nick, I literally logged on to post the same
Fair play 10k isn't nothing BUT to your point its is a pittance to them (one of their silly Moncker jackets costs way more than that), and to parade it around is silly
I cant see why each of the squad cant give a grand which would be more than double that total
I just sponsored a mate of mine in the London Marathon £500 and I certainly dont earn 50k a week [Post edited 8 Mar 2024 12:55]

Exactly my thoughts, if you sponsor a mate to do the marathon or a charity walk etc, they would be insulted if you gave them £7, its not even a pint and a half these days | |

Cant take away the fact that is a decent gesture.
However most of the players are probably 50% tax payers so charitable donations are tax free so £10k in real terms.
Also note that the club's owners donated £160k to the Saints Foundation as match funding to the same amount raised at last week's Saints Foundation Dinner at St Marys. | | | |

Sorry, thought the players donation was £20k so in real terms the real cost to players was £5k | | | |

Maybe the squad have seen the latest accounts, and think they may need to tighten their belts….. |  |

They are the last ones to suffer when a club suffers financial difficulty, they have to get paid their full whack | |

To be fair, none of us know how much each of them gives away each year in total.
It all counts. | |

Do you think our loan players are expected to contribute towards this ?
They aren't technically Saints players - although it could be argued that they are, whilst they are here on loan. Perhaps as the club pays (most of) their wages, they are expected to chip in ? |  |

A charity is £10,000 better off.
Well done all involved.

I agree a Charity is £10 k better off, but it is all relative, personally I admire those individuals that have cycled from Anfield To St Mary's over a week to raise the money | |
