Richard Scudamore: Premier League clubs asked for £250,000 towards £5m bonus

All 20 Premier League clubs have been asked for a £250,000 contribution so that the league's outgoing executive chairman Richard Scudamore can be given a £5m farewell gift.
Good to see that as football is awash with money that its going to its grass roots.

WTF!!... Moment Scudamore is gone I'll be happy as he's been a poison on Football of late
Trouble is his replacement whoever he is will be just as worse!!0 -
literally another world4

Fully deserved.
The article confirms that he's paid £2.5m per season.
The £5m will at least go some way to allow the poor little lamb to lead a normal life and rehabilitate back into society when he leaves.12 -
The only plus I can see from this story is that Palace will have to pay it35

Or each club could donate £250,000 to a charity.... He's a joke of a man7

Greedy prick.2

I hope Children in Need will be joining in and also making a £250k contribution to this deserved cause...1

Not quite what the article says, the Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has contacted all the clubs requesting the donation, not Scudamore himself.Laddick01 said:Richard Scudamore has asked all premier league clubs to donate 250,000 to Richard Scudamore

Utterly indicative of the money crazed mindset of the Premier League. So its basically a way of clubs saying thank you for making us so rich. Arseholes the lot of them2

Notice how Scudamore hasn’t exactly been quick in coming out and denying he wants this bonus. Anyone with any integrity would donate this to charity or use it as further investment for grass roots.eaststandmike said:

If this does happen, hopefully Scudamore, who is already earning £2.5million a year, will do the decent thing and redistribute some of his bonus money back into football e.g. community trusts, football beyond borders, kick it out. No person needs that much money.0

Grass roots football continues to struggle with councils selling off playing fields left right and centre. Meanwhile, a £5m "thank you", which would fund a hell of lot of local schemes, is being paid to an executive who will already have built up a pension pot 99.9% of the population could only dream of.

Yep but he worked for the EPL and he made them very rich, I'd have thought £250k was a pittance in comparison.Hartleypete said:
