Basically this is not an easy question to answer. In UK soccer, we get heavy fines on players. But what happens to the money? Again we come to International matches, how do FIFA deal with the fines they collect. I think we take it for granted that the Club hangs on to the money! My basis for this?

I have to digress: Speed cameras on the roads, traffic wardens, serve one purpose......to make money for the Police and Councils. If it went into charitable causes, would they be so keen to put cameras etc all over the roads? I think not. The cameras have to be installed and maintained and recorded, so this is one get out.

To be honest, I think it would be easier to ask: Do hookers pay tax? If so at what rate and who gets the money? If it is the Government then we can say they are getting immoral earnings? Or living off immoral earnings. Whatever way you look at it, they will find an answer to confuse you.

From an intelligent point of view: In England the FA fine a player, and he is suspended for so many matches. So who gets this money? Next, his Club can fine him for the same thing.

I think the real answer lays in the fact that the Clubs keep the money as an additonal source of income..........they are always pleading poverty anyway and maybes deem themselves a 'worth charity'!

Whatever  way you look at it, the fines are not given away to charities. If they were this would cause an argument with the charities in any case, that is if you consider the very large number of charitable organisations.

I think the only way you would get any answer is to write direct to the Club you support and ask them. But how true would the answer be?
