What charities are receiving the proceeds and what % of the proceeds are being donated?


Wel I know tatey wants it to go to a cause that helps the poor and the desperate who have absolutely nothing so Cardiff city football club is towards the top of his list.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Well you won't be donating to whichever charity it is as the games at the Liberty ...

So it's got fuk all to do with you.


I'll be in the United States of America, so you are correct, I will not be in attendance.

If even 1% of the proceeds are going to Alan then I would not attend even if I was in Swansea. He has earned plenty from this club and its fans.

I was just curious as to what his chosen charities are.

I hope he keep every penny myself.

He would have earned a fraction of what the current mercenaries earn.

People are always quick to try and tell others what they should or shouldn't be doing with their money.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Think I agree on the, "Why should rich footballers, have even more money" view. But have to say, Alan Tate has been a shining light, in the murky gloom of, overpaid, kiss the badge, no loyalty players, that seem to pervade modern football.
I remember our firm had its first ever corporate event, under the new stand,down the vetch,a long,long time ago.
So long, that I remember thinking, who's that skinny youngster, dressed immaculately, in a smart suit, pressing the flesh, talking to everyone.
Some of who, were only there, for the free food and drink, and didn't give a toss about the Swans.
But he still had time, to do his bit, and shake hands, and talk to them.
Very daunting, if you're a youngster, and I remember thinking, what a fantastic ambassador for our club this young lad was.
Also, moving on a few decades. Last week I was in Malaga airport, back from hols, and who was in the queue, checking in his golf clubs?
None other than Tatey, he must have spotted my Swans emblem on my tee shirt, and we shook hands, and had a fellow golfer's chat, plus I said... " You didn't break your leg, this time then?"
which Raised a bit of a smile, but just goes to show, even when on his holidays, he still had time to chat, and shake your hand.
Not a bad footballer as well.
If we've got men like him, coaching our youths for the future, I for one wouldn't begrudge him a "Testimonial"

Tatey came here when we were completely unfashionable and his efforts, along with the rest of the misfits and journeymen, got the club into the Premier League. He deserves recognition at the very least. His untimely leg break meant the fans never really got the chance to thank him properly. And we have a lot to thank him for.
Ive no idea what he is 'worth' but if he takes something from the game, so be it. It wont be the biggest social injustice in the world if he gets a few bob out of it as well as helping out some charities.
A lot of players with a lot less commitment than him have made much more out of the club in the past few years.
Good on him.

Bitterness and envy are a terrible thing and are obviously eating you up.

Your best bet is get out and work a little harder then maybe you would not
have such a hatred and be so jealous of the "rich" who like Tatey have worked
hard to get what they have.

It's a life philosophy, envy has nothing to do with it, it's my personal politics, and trust me, I earn sufficient to travel the world and have two houses in this country and one abroad. Not that this proves a point it just tells me ( as it should you ) that I don't need hand outs every ten years to increase what I already have. And as for working hard ......
Kicking a fcking ball 😂

What you need to do Paul is stop taking offence when someone has a different opinion to you or in your 'basic mindset' says anything against Swansea City. May I also suggest you get out a bit more and meet people with different opinions, it may well make you a far better person and less offended to use words like 'hate' when trying to validate your poor communication skills 👍

Have a lovely day.

His footballing ability was on a par with his golf buggy driving.
Got very well paid for what he did.
A very limited player who gave 100 % millionaires should not be getting testimonials though.
The money should be given to a local charity Ty Olsen would be my charity.
