What about it? He’s one of the best players in the world currently and getting better all the time.
Re: Club happy to line Scudamore’s pockets
It goes without no exaggeration from myself that this is far worse than the rebrand. ****ing disgusting.

Oh come on it’s nowhere near as bad as the rebrand

I'm presuming he won't need to work until he's 66 or 67 in order to pay his bills, unlike the majority of the fans in the Premier League stands.
Dead right.

Thing is, not to start a riot, with the rebrand, I always thought eventually we'd go back to blue. This however, you don't get to take back the £250,000. The club should tell them to **** off, instead we're bending over to impress the big boys.

Totally different. He's a player, and a very good one who is a regular for the best team and made a massive contribution to them winning the title. No comparison whatsoever.

Top player earning lots of money from revenue he brings in, what’s wrong with it?

Come off it. It ruined 3 seasons of football for me. We're getting £100m directly because of Scudamore. I don't agree with it at all but I'm not going to stop going to games because of it.

I think that he earns rather more than that!
Firstly I can’t see why the club felt a need to comment publicly - I felt embarrassed when I saw that the club would be prepared to contribute - and secondly, it feels like a huge misjudgement to even suggest that a man already extremely wealthy, should deserve another bonus funded in the strangest of manners.
The money has to to go to a good cause now, surely?
Re: Club happy to line Scudamore’s pockets
Meh what's 250k when looking at what we make from being in the league.
Would I prefer it to go to a good cause than for a wealthy man's parting gift, of course I would.
Would the money go to a good cause if we weren't paying our share of said parting gift, of course it wouldn't.
That's not to say the club don't contribute to good causes BTW.
Re: Club happy to line Scudamore’s pockets
I'm not sure why City and other clubs like us would give anything since the whole thing is set up for the big clubs to get the most out of it year in year out. I just hope Scudamore shares it with his staff since he didn't do all the work himself.
Re: Club happy to line Scudamore’s pockets
16 out of 20 Premier league teams still refusing to pay their staff the recommended living wage which is around 1 pound an hour more than minimum pay, yet they can all find an extra £250,000 each as thankyou gift for a man who earns £2.5 million a year.

There you have it summed up - football absolutely stinks at times, it must be a truly fantastic game for me to love it as much as I do.

The bonus/ golden goodbye seems almost normal when compared to the obscene amounts of money in the Premiership so I will leave that aspect alone.
However, what is wrong and utterly unjustifiable is, if true,the failure to pay the living wage.
Shame on those clubs .
