    You where the one that called Charon a dumbass. You implied by that statement that you saw it as a competition and Charon had failed the test. All I pointed out was that he also gives significant amounts to charity but hasn't made that public.

    People give to charity for many reasons, some of which are worthy, some of which are not. Some public donations are worthy, some private donations are not and vice versa.

    If he doesn't make his philanthropy public then how the **** do you know about it?

    Anyone would think you were just being a contrary ****

    I was just pointing out he wasn't a dumbass and that he gives money to charity. I have no idea how much or to which charities.

    I would say the guy is not as daft as he comes across in interveiws.

    In yet another divide an conquer move he has either by accident or cunning created a winning situation for himself.

    He's donated to the same building that Assem Allam has, as you know.

    Read it back. Charon implied it was a competition first. If he gives anonymously how do you know about it?

    I can't work out if you're being clever or not Obi.

    Are you saying he's donated through paying his taxes?

    Its in this thread.

    He's mentioned previously on here (I think) or maybe CI that he donates to charity. Sometime last season a mutual friend mentioned how generous he is without giving me details and I didn't ask. I just think you are barking up the wrong tree if you have a go at him for not donating to charity.

    I read what he writes on this board and CI. He doesn't go into details so his individual donations are anonymous. The fact he gives money to charity isn't a secret. I have no idea how much but was told he's generous. I didn't ask for details. if he wanted the world to know he'd tell everybody. He doesn't publicise it, so I didn't pry. Its none of my business how much he gives or who to.

    So. He may or may not give money to charity. I don't see why that gives him the right to sneer at Assems charity work.

    Nor do I see how that excuses him acting like a **** online either.

    He clearly is having a go at someone giving a large amount of money to a charitable cause. Something you say he does himself. He obviously does tell people he gives or no one would know. Is your point, and his, that his donations are more worthy than Allams? Sounds like it.

    I'm speechless that such a cynic as yourself has fallen for this one hook, line and sinker.

    Everyone has the right to sneer at Allam's charity work, because when it suits him he's a generous philanthropist, and when it doesn't he's a ruthless, don't give a **** about anyone else type. He loves both images too much to just pick one.

    If one week you're criticising the other 19 Premier League clubs for giving out freebies and coming out with the sickening quote I posted earlier in this thread which implies that everyone not as rich as you is just a scrounging bastard, then the next you're asking the local paper to publicise your latest charity donations so everyone will see what a wonderfully nice bloke you are, people are going to sneer a bit.

    He's patently a dumbass and as such his charity contributions are likely to be little more than buying a lottery ticket.

    I didn't want to give it a thread of it's own, I just wanted to drop it in somewhere and it was in absolutely no way meant to be a competitive comparrison.

    I think it's a shame that Assem isn't as thoughtful and caring with all his decisions, but that doesn't detract from this being a generous action.

    Not he may or may not. He does give money to charity and generously. I see you agree with Charon that giving money to charity doesn't excuse people's behaviour.
