Signed for PSG for a year

 

His wage all going to a childrens charity in France.

 

Thoughts?

Thought it said 5 months, but didn't hear about his wages going to charity, fair play if true

It's end of season yes.

Fair fucking play. Top guy

I bet the tabloid press are wanking themselves silly with the thought of them being only a short train ride away now.

biggest news of the day y

didnt Drogba do something similar with his shanghai wages?

 

fair play, he doesn't need the money, then again, he doesn't need to give it away either

Won't play

 

5 mins here and there

he'll still shine in that wank excuse of a league

Groups of English fans already planning trips to France to watch a PSG game.

 

Been sick in my own mouth

Where the last three words needed?

His playing salary is low in football terms. He is however keeping the millions in image rights which will increase due to the crafty piece of PR from brand Beckhams team.

Still doesn't need to give his football wage up though. It's a nice gesture whichever way you look at it.

Aye. He didnt need to do this. It's not as if he needs to boost his profile any more.

 

Top fella.

Announcing it smells of a pr exercise. Fair enough if he wants to donate no need to tell everyone about it

I'm in the cynic camp too surprisingly

This, last day of the transfer window it's a BIG smelly PR stunt to keep brand Beckham in the headlines.

A Childrens charity will get lots of money, how is there anything bad in that ?

But will giving his salary to a French charity get him a knighthood?

Cian Bolger a done deal.

He's getting one in a few years anyway, that'll have no bearing on it

We've signed an entire Clan ?

I try to hate the bloke but I can't bring myself to do so... I understand the cynicism but whatever the motives some kids may get half a chance in life, and I don't give a shit where they're from that's a positive.

 

I'm guessing here but I bet he's turned out for loads of charity events wherever he's been and raised the profile, yes I know it doesn't do his PR any harm but hey, if it helps don't knock it. Rather him than some 19 year old fuckwit on £60k a week cunting around in a baby Bentley and wearing big headphones so he doesn't have to (god forbid) interact with supporters. I would also bet that Beckham's never not signed an autograph when asked, wtihin reason. And he loved playing for England, always put a shift in for his country.

Still he avoids the assumption that he's a millionaire footballer who only cares about the money which is a brush people are always quick to look to tar with

 

I imagine there's a lot of rich folk out there who do stuff like this, don't tell anyone, yet people are happy to assume they don't

Isn't the French tax rate for people over Min Wage something like 50%?

 

Image rights will be sold/brokered elsewhere

Some people will find any reason to moan, a professional footballer donating 5 months worth of wages to a childrens charity should not be one of those.
