Joe. Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 Ian Holloway about Beckham topping the rich list with 87m- "My earnings are a bit more modest than that. Twenty per cent of everything I earn goes to charity, which I think is very important" What a great gesture to donate 20% of his wages every week. We need more people like him in this world Read his BBC Column!
Milky Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 i read this column every friday afternoon whilst waiting in between lectures. It always makes me chuckle. Reading that earlier did suprise me, because he's not exactly loaded is he and that's a sizeable chunk.
filbertway Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 Legend Ian Holloways is, love his interviews and he's and honest man aswell.
lildave3 Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 He's a top bloke, never see Wenger giving 20 percent of his earnings to charity.
Thracian Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 Funny how few friends he had when he applied to be manager here though.
lildave3 Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 Funny how few friends he had when he applied to be manager here though. I would have loved him to be our manager, he did wonders at QPR and is doing the same wonders at Plymouth. Would of a been proud to have him as our manager.
Collymore Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 I wonder how much his charity donations has to do with tax
davieG Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 He's a top bloke, never see Wenger giving 20 percent of his earnings to charity. Maybe he does but doesn't feel the need to brag about it.
syston_fox Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 He's a top bloke, never see Wenger giving 20 percent of his earnings to charity. He might do though. Up until 30 seconds before you read this thread, you had no idea that Holloway donated money to charity!
davieG Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 I would have loved him to be our manager, he did wonders at QPR and is doing the same wonders at Plymouth. Would of a been proud to have him as our manager. Was the a key participant in the worst game of football I've seen in 40+ years when he was manager of QPR down here last season ably assisted by one of the most inept referees I've ever seen. Frankly if he'd have come to us that would have been two less season tickets sold.
dandannieldanok Posted 8 December 2006 Posted 8 December 2006 Some people are so fickle, he is an idiot, he could probably get Plymouth promoted if he didn't waste time spouting rubbish on the net. I'm so glad Leicester didn't get lumbered with him.
vanfox12 Posted 10 December 2006 Posted 10 December 2006 He might do though. Up until 30 seconds before you read this thread, you had no idea that Holloway donated money to charity! If he want's to donate 20% of his income to charity then so be it. The same applies to anyone else but at the end of the day what someone does with their money is up to them and anyway you can't take it with you when your dead.
Ultra Posted 10 December 2006 Posted 10 December 2006 I wonder how much his charity donations has to do with tax He probably gets relief on a lot of his donations. But as a father of three deaf daughters, it's understandable that he should be more aware of the disadvantaged elements of society. That may make us think better of him as a human being. However, it shouldn't change our opinion of him as a football manager. He wasn't what we needed last season and he's not what we need now.
