Jimmy_D's Donation

[Jimmy_D]

 

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.

Well done sir! Full respect!

...and if this is chosen, I'll add a tenner.

A fitting choice for that snake.

Seconded

[Jimmy_D]

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.

[Scoobysaint]

The RNLI as he'll need rescuing from a sinking ship by Xmas!

Well done mate, good on you.

 

My mother-in-law sadly passed away with cancer earlier this year and now one of my nieces has Leukemia, so Cancer Research please.

Lost my dad to this and he was a season ticket holder until he wasn't able to go any more.

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

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.

Motor Neurone Disease Association for me. A truly horrific disease where everything shuts down & your mind is the last to go. So you know what's happening but you can't communicate it.

If this is the winner I'll match JDs donation.

 

Now how about an annual Saints Web charity to run the course of a season? There are so many worthy ones as mentioned above.

[ladysaint]

https://www.alzheimers.org.uk gets my vote too. Well done Jimmy it's good to see one man keeping his word.

[Give it to Ron]

What about towards a statue for Koeman??

Failing that https://www.alzheimers.org.uk my MIL has it and its a dreadful condition.

[Saint-Armstrong]

What about something to do with stroke sufferers, after well-known Saints fan 'Philly Saint' (Malcolm Ross) died of a stroke earlier this year?

 

Just a thought, might be a nice gesture after losing someone a lot of people on here seemed to either know online or had met.

I am backing Alzheimer's. It is he disease I fear most.

[holepuncture]

(pompey trust?)

 

Seriously though, it's sad to read of peoples loss.

 

Wherever your donation goes it will be to a good home.

 

Nice one.

RNLI for me but kudos for keeping your word.

[Foxstone]

Good man Jimmy - An honourable gesture.

 

All the charities mentioned above are worthy, but my personal one would be Liver and Pancreatic cancer - The same charity promoted at Kelvin's testimonial.
