pires is a cheat
Paul Gascoigne has offered to give struggling non-league club Gateshead £10,000 to help them avoid going bust.

Gazza grew up in Gateshead and offered to help when he heard that the club would go out of business unless they found £60,000 by the end of the season.

He said: "I am a Gateshead lad. It is just up the road from me - I used to go and play at Gateshead when I was at school.

"It would be a big shame to lose Gateshead. How much do they need? £60,000? I think I could probably come up with £10,000."

He has also suggested that Newcastle players Alan Shearer and Kieron Dyer help save the club too by throwing in £10,000 of their own money.

Gateshead need the money because a sponsorship deal fell through mid-season. There were fears that they would not be inexistence by the end of this week.

But Gazza has at least given them a lifeline with his donation.

i would be more impressed if he give the full 60k, im not saying im overimpressed with any players generosity but it just doesnt seem that good to me and everyone on tv is prattling on saying what a guy!

if i was a millionaire im sure i could give a few quid away too without publicising the fact.
 
If he cared so much about the club he would pay the full 60K, after all he is a very wealthy man. But credit to him for donating the 10k anyway

I'm sorry but that's BS. If he gives so much of a shit he can afford two weeks wages surely. 'kin guy's a millionaire ffs. He used to spend 10k on booze a week! Fair play if he has good intentions and he gets the 60k from wherever but it sounds to me like attempted good PR by his advisors to me.

Good on him I say. You can say why is he publicising it, but hopefully by speaking out, others will hear about the plight and get involved.
 
come off it, saddoes

the man puts his hand in his pocket and tries to do something good and you still slag him?

and anyway, how do you know he can afford the full 60K?

could you afford to give away two weeks wages?

would you trust paul gascoigne to look after your money?

with all his generousity to his friends and family, not to mention his mad-arse spending there's no guarantee at all that he can put his hands on that kind of money at the drop of a hat
 
its funny how u think that an alcholic wife beater who has wasted his talents and spent time with that fat prick five bellies can give a few quid out now and again and u think its good.

if i had had as many signing on fees as him i too would help out the club where he was spotted but with 60k not 10k

:rolleyes:
