Jimmy_D Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 That's genuinely quite funny from Everton fans there. Utterly delusional. If Koeman's manager of Everton at the start of next season, I'll make a £50 donation to charity, forum's choice. Errm... well safe to say I didn't see that going through at the time, although I also didn't see Everton chucking £7M a season at him! However, apparently unlike Koeman, I keep my word. One nomination of a registered charity per person (by way of a reply in this thread), that was registered before I made the quoted post (13 May 2016). Whichever charity has the most nominations at 11pm BST this Friday (10 June 2016) gets the donation. If there's a tie, I'll split it as evenly as possible.

Jimmy_D Posted 7 June, 2016 Author Share Posted 7 June, 2016 I'd hold off, season starts in August and Ron might get a better offer before that. Meh, I made that post thinking that Koeman wouldn't even think about going there. The donation stands now even in the unlikely event he doesn't actually end up there.

nta786 Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 Bleak House by Charles Dickens... Mrs Jellyby and the notion of 'charity begins at home'. So keep the money yourself mate In all seriousness though, I do agree with SaintsFoundation by others- plus to make it worthwhile- bid on their website and try and get something yourself for the £50 too http://www.charitystars.com/foundation/saints-foundation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 As my father has it https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/ This gets my vote. One thing I look for is how much actually goes to help those in need, and they claim "89 pence in every £1 of total expenditure was spent on direct costs towards improving the lives of people with dementia (2014: 89 pence in the pound)." Sounds good if true. https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=3104&categoryID=200129&pageNumber=11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
