    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

  • 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 o

    Those saying this is PR for Beckham underestimate his brand   The Beckham brand didn't even need this PR   Not in the slightest   But   Maybe the charity he's doing it for does; many will do m

i've just noticed i'm having to go just before bed

 

i think i might put in for a bag

 

i guess it has its advantages :)

PR PR PR that's all this is about, saving the Beckham brand for when the cunt finally retires, why donate to the french kids, what have the fucking french ever done for him, why not donate it to English child charities like the rest of us do, you know the country where he was born, if he loves his country so much

 

Just fuck off Beckham and take your fucking publicity band wagon with you

 

I use to like this guy and just thought his wife was a cunt but now he's just getting on my fucking tits

 

Beckham this Beckham that Beckham the other........................oh just fuck off

 

It's 8:10 and i'm now in 1 hell of a bastard mood

 

Rant fucking over

 

If he was not donating any money to any charities then you wouldn't have even commented.

 

Thing is, he's donating ALL of his wages but you're moaning it's to the wrong ones.

 

We've got some moaning fuckers.

Not daft is David (or should I say his PR machine).

 

Sure, some charity will benefit, but so will he. If it was a purely altruistic move he wouldn't be shouting it from the rooftops. Why announce it? Why not just get on with it and do it?

 

Reason?

 

Publicity. And for Brand Beckham, publicity = money.

Of course the wages thing is a PR stunt, a blatant one at that.

 

Y'know what though, there are plenty of footballers, basketballers, baseballers, boxers, film stars, etc who don't need any money but are still happy to take it.

 

I'm sure there are plenty of charities out there who would gladly be the recipient of a few million £s per year regardless of if it's a PR stunt or not.

 

Also, one thing you know you'll get from Beckham is 100% effort and commitment. PSG know they're signing a player who's not just going there with the intention to simply sit on his arse and boost his own image.

Why doesn't everyone do it then? Like someone mentioned earlier I'm sure he'll earn money from image rights. Probably does his 'brand' image no harm But he could of had image rights and a salary anyway. I find it odd that he's being scrutinized for giving money to charity to be honest.

I'm sure many do, but they don't announce it.

 

He'll have sat down and done a cost/benefit job on this.

 

The cost is minimal and the benefits are huge. Fair enough, everyone's a winner

i'm only getting up for 1 piss in the night so i'm not doing too badly

 

Its a shame you piss 3 times a night, though.

Exactly - so what if it is self serving. Nice gesture.

It is a nice gesture, who's saying it's not. It is also a very clever piece of marketing which is the crux of the matter. Folk aren't calling him, they're pointing out that it does Brand Beckham no harm whatsoever and it's really not costing him that much money either.

 

If more folk buy the offshoot tat like perfume then he's on a chicken dinner. His wife won't be though, obviously.

 

 

Let's not start hailing him the new Mother Theresa.

I'm not sure anyone has tbh.

 

As far as I can see, the defence/support of him has come only as a result of folk shouting ridiculous things like, "Look at him, giving his wages to charity. What an absolute cunt."

What position did she play in?

If his motives are purely to build the brand, then it is a bit cuntish. I've met the man through work, he seemed nice enough if a little devoid of personality and in no way sexy. I have no idea what his motives, as i'm sure no one on here has either, so will refrain from calling him a cunt unless their next marketing campaign is orphan dollies who speak french when you pull a cord in its back.

I can't help hearing the cynic side of me saying what cracking bit of PR it is doing him.

I dont necessarily disagree. His motives might be genuine but if not then the orphans are still benefiiting.

Priceless.

Jimmy Saville raised millions for childrens charities. Doesn't mean he's not a cnut though.

And there we have it.

 

Brilliant.

When did it become unacceptable to call a DMB a Cunt?

When they were called Willy Morgan, or Tony Dunne, or Alan Gowling.....

 

Wiggum. Old cunt :thumbsup:

can't believe how naive I was when KD set up his kids for Bolton charity

 

here I was thinking he was doing something for the kids of Bolton

 

might explain why he's still in the squad

 

the twat should never have said anything about his endaevours

How do you know i wouldn't have commented, it's all about opinions and i have 1 and if it doesn't match the rest of how wonderful he is i really couldn't give a flying fuck

KiDs is now the reason/excuse why he'll never leave.

So is KD now a cunt for doing charitable stuff?

 

Fucks sake, maybe sometimes people just do good things for the sake of it? My mates dad organised a charity band do for a well known Bolton kids charity, wrote to the club asking for a donation for a charity auction and got nowt. Few days later, Dougie Freedman called him personally to apologise, as theyd only seen the letter after the event, said of course they would have donated, but that the club does an annual day for said home so they won't lose out. Maybe the club should not bother this year, don't want to be seen courting publicity and being called a set of cunts by cynics off here who would probably never put a button in a charity tin.

Aye, go on then, because we never give to charity on here, do we?

We are in the main cunts though, to be fair.

Yes we do, and we go public about it because it makes us look good and feel good. Which is fine. Why Beckham is a self serving cunt and we are selfless philanthropists I don't quite get.
