Pardew donates relegation bonus to ADO Den Haag non-playing staff and health workers

ADO Den Haag boss Alan Pardew has donated the survival bonus he received to non-playing staff and health workers after a fortunate escape from Eredivisie relegation.

His side were lying in 17th spot, seven points from safety, when it was announced that the Eredivisie season would be cancelled without relegation or a title winner due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has seen more than 4,400 deaths recorded in the Netherlands.

While some reports suggested that Pardew was in line for a bonus worth £100,000 ($120,000) due to the decision, he has rejected suggestions that the windfall was of that magnitude but did confirm that he was in line for a dividend, which he will pass on to others.
