Southampton have announced that players and coaches will donate their one day’s wages to the Saints Foundation.
This comes after Friday night’s 9-0 home humiliation to Leicester which equaled the record score in the Premier League history.
The club believe the best way to ask for forgiveness after taking gate fee from fans and go ahead to lose by 9-0 at home is by giving away some of the money earned.
An official statement on the Saints website reads
“The squad has been in at Staplewood Campus throughout the weekend, working on putting things right for the club’s supporters.As the first step towards that, the group has decided that they wish to donate their wages from the day of the Leicester game to Saints Foundation, in order to help the vital work that is conducted by the charity.
SaintsFC manager Ralph Hasenhüttl says the only suitable response the team can give is to prepare and train towards their next game.
Southampton face back-to-back visits to Manchester City this week, first in the Carabao Cup last-16 on Tuesday, and then in the Premier League on Saturday and another humiliating defeat will mean one thing, MORE DONATIONS.
