what £500+ a day?

No. 100+ a day like Fraidy and ConsultingTechArsietect.

I'm suggesting that if you don't pay a good market rate to run a major organisation, you might not get the very best people.

Where have I heard that before.....

"Lessons will be learnt"

Are you suggesting that some charity CEOs are claiming full time salaries from more than one charity, and by so doing, are not doing a good job of any of them?

Probably why charities aren't run very well

Most charity CEOs limit themselves to around an IT contractors income.

That is why charities are invariably run by rich public school types without the skills to run a charity properly.

Many charities have a commercial Ltd Co in the same name run in parallel

I can certainly see the temptation when you are raising 10s of millions to want a tiny share especially if you were helping out. A real test of your morals when all that cash is flowing past your eyes!

How can ordinary people that have been thrust in to the spotlight then go on to have the skills to run a charity properly?

Only charities I give to are the Sally Army and the Dogs Trust both of which do good

We actually discussed this months ago, that people were a bit suspicious of the foundation (not as already said, of Tom himself).
I don't know there's suspicion on the family themselves? Is the implication outside people have homed in on them as potential suckers?

You'd have to look closely at the situation but that's a potential outcome, or just complete mismanagement and greed by the inexperienced family members thrown in to the job rather than skilled to do it.
