The highest football league of the Netherlands "Eredivisie" officially announced last week that the interrupted season will not have champions and no team will be relegated. This was very good news for the team coached by Alan Pardew, "ADO Den Haag", which realistically had a chance of leaving the league. Foreign media reported that the strategist, who has coached several Premier League clubs, received a solid bonus for keeping the team in the league. It was said that the bonus amount could reach 100,000 pounds sterling. The 58-year-old Englishman himself revealed that all these talks are just rumors and he refused the bonus that belonged to him. "When I signed a contract with ADO Den Haag, there was a bonus for staying in the league. However, the amount is much lower than reported in the press. Such bonuses are completely normal and most coaches have them in their contracts. However, I thought that this bonus would be valid if the season ended and the club stayed in the top league. Later, I found out that the club, despite the situation, is willing to pay me this money. As soon as I found out, I immediately contacted the management and said that the money should either be used for other employees' salaries or donated to fight COVID-19," - A. Pardew spoke to "Sky Sports".
