Gift for Scudamore

[Blaarev]

Madness!

 

[Brown Nose]

Wow. That's 500 season tickets worth of cash from every club at £500 a pop. What's wrong with a nice watch?

He turned up on Saturday to bring out a wreath which I thought was nice. Notable that he fecked straight off afterwards though rather than watch the game.

Madness!

I hope someone’s going to teach his replacement the offside rule.

But we need to sell Wembley to be able to fund grassroots football.

Bunch o ****s!

 

[FOX Franks]

What the blue **** are they going to buy him for 5m that’s a “farewell gift”? An island??

It’s a poor PR move, let alone a poor move in general. I suspect it’ll be switched to something more palatable, like a scheme in his name, or something like that.

It’s just one Ade Akinbiyi.

What’s he doing these days?

If they're selling Wembley, the first thing they need to do is to repay the people who paid for it. It's simply not good enough to divert the cash to other causes.

And Scudamore has already been paid for doing his job. He should now be told to **** off.

Personally I think it is obscene and disgusting.
As mentioned elsewhere, grass roots football is crying out for money, and this bloke is getting 5m for doing his job well.
It stinks!

It's disgusting regardless of grass roots.

It's an unnecessary, obscene amount of money, pure ****ing greed.


The fact he's willing to take it despite his massive wage makes him a greedy ****.

Football is ****ed

So you’d say “thanks but no thanks” if you were in his position?

 

[City Fan]

Yes £5m is a lot of money and yes it can perhaps be better utilised elsewhere but compared to what other bosses of big companies gets, it’s not ridiculous at all.

So the clubs are expected to pay for a leaving bonus for someone who, it now appears, isn't leaving. I wonder what sort of retainer he'll be on.

[Robin127]

If it's considered a gift does he have to pay tax on it?
