Make England FA team donate fees to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

What the petition asks

Given the poor performance of the England football squad at the Euro 2016 tournament, many fans feel aggrieved and would like to be compensated for their costs. I recommend that all players, management team and related members should be made to to donate their fees to Great Ormond Street Hospital
England were beaten by a team representing Iceland, a country with a population equivalent to some London boroughs. It is clear to fans, pundits, experts and the media that this is the worst performance of any England team.
As such, in more normal circumstances, people would have the right to some redress or compensation for a service which did not do what is was meant to do, i.e. win football matches.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
