Because he is a idiot! he has been a virus at every club he played for!B\connellblue said:Why all the hatred for Bellamy. He never gave anything less than 100% for us. I wish him well however it ends up.

Tevez does not for 2.5 times as much.

Bullshit! Don't care how much I wanna play football. I m not paying 55 thousand dollars a week to do it. And his charity has nothing to do with it. City signed him to a contract, and now they must pay it up. And why the hell will a 32 year old wanna go play somewherelse and bust his balls for 59 grand less and no championship search? WHat is he, a freaking charity?razinho said:Emmmm yeah? If all i wanted to do in life was play football then i would be happier picking up 35k and playing most weeks than playing with kids and reserves for 90k. He's in his latter years and should want to play most weeks, regardless of the money he may or may not make. The fact he said he wouldn't take a drop in wages because of his charity doesn't wash with me, the guys a first class prick.FantasyIreland said:And why should he? would you?
Exactly the point. He doesn't need all the 90K a week to run the charity this year, he needs it to keep the charity going long after he is not making that kind of money. That is the point. So all the folks asking how much it cost to run a charity are missing the point. The charity has to continue after Craig is don with football. So it is in his interest to make as much money now so he can save enough for when he retires. Which is very soon/Robinho's Subbuteo said:razinho said:Or just tell the greedy bastard to fuck off. Your idea would be good but i'd like to know what exactly he's buying and providing in Africa that means he needs 90k a week to fund it. The economy in Africa means he could provide for about 20 kids on a couple of grand a week max, the fact he's used it as an excuse not to take a drop in wages astounds me. He's an arsehole.Robinho's Subbuteo said:Why don't we say to him, "ok Craig, here's the deal. You won't go to another club and play regular football for £35k a week because you won't be able to contribute enough money to your important charity. So, how about this ... we sell you to the club that can pay you £35k a week ... and donate 50% of the transfer fee to your charity?"
That would answer how important his charity is.
I agree, and by removing the charity from the equation/his reasons we'll find out just how charitable Bellamy really is. Plus, what happens when he retires? Craig Bellamy Foundation goes bye bye? He'll find the money from somewhere, which is what he can do now.
