We are not on about just money, it is about doing things if you have money, and actually caring. I could pay this year if I was her  £300 million on good stuff. Still made over £100 million.But she could have done it by phone sitting on her arse. Ho she did well, look how much she gave to etc etc.

If he alone is worth over 400,000,000 a year then surely the Bet 365 family don’t need to bother with parachute payments and can afford to buy their way back into prem !!!!!

I only ever argue on the internet with Stoke fans but i admire Ms Coates and all that she is achieving 

Years ago all my mates and customers were pot bankers and worked on the Mitch mainly.

These days i work for loads of people who are employed by bet365 and i've got a fair few friends on there. They are on good money and have job security. 

The fact she is the best paid exec just proves how good she is at her job and running that company. 

And as a child of the 60's i'm aloud to say, not bad for a girl.

Its just a shame she's a bloody Stoke fan

And my wife, who is a Stoke fan, says jealousy is an ugly trait. 

Row time

Can you tell me the last time you saw her ( I never have) doing anything in the community, doing food parcels , meals. She may have got out of her helicopter and nodded, but nothing else in the community all the way through covid.

Unfortunately paying the "correct" amount of tax is something to credit her for. I'm sure she could save tens or even hundreds of millions of tax liabilities by becoming a non-dom in Monaco or similar. Or live on her own island like the weirdo Barclay twins.

Most of the super wealthy do their level best to swerve their tax obligations. If you're rich enough then tax is far from compulsory.

She has mate to be fair

She is one of the highest Tax payers in thevUK. So has done quite a bit for the country. 
just imagine if the rest of the super rich like her paid their fair share how good our schools would be.

[Howjy04]

How much did her charity give to the NHS?Ask her workers about how well they’ve been looked after during the pandemic.Well done Denise and well done Carol.

She is funding a major Sports centre project in Newcastle too at a school.

Whilst the focus is all on Denise it should also be remembered that she isn’t the only one at the top taking a massive wedge out of that business.

Also, I would add that, whatever your views on the way they earn their money, first and foremost they should do something about the disparity between their lowest paid staff and themselves.  If you increase the average salary it’ll have a positive knock on in the local economy.

[Smugsy]

Interesting that Bet365 paid £85m into the Denise Coates Foundation so the charitable donations are not coming from the paltry £469m she's paying herself. Profits slump 74% and her salary increases by £277m to £421m. Charitable my arse!

They are supposed to pay tax it ain't voluntary.

But unlike many, they don't try to avoid/evade it.
