What the petition asks
Average player earns £50,000 A WEEK. 1% = £500 a week, £2000 a month, £24,000 a year. £24,000 from ONE player. The Premier League could raise at least £5million+ a year if there was a clause in players contract in which they would have to give 1% of their wage to their chosen charity
