Herbert on Scudamore.

[The Laughing Policeman]

Our former glorious leader claims to have got Scudamore his job at the PL and then waxes lyrical about the billions in Sky money that Scudamore got for the PL as if that's the most important thing in this sorry mess.
The Beeb should stop contacting 90 year old fossils for quotes.

I didn't hear him today but I did the other night, and he was rambling and sounded confused.

I agree, he's 90 years old, it's unfair to get him on radio any more.

Didn't come across very well.

is it just me that thinks the only reason Scudamore hasn't been shown the door is because his fellow bigwigs at the Premier League are paranoid that the contents of their emails are just as incriminating?

I bet the delete button on the computers at Premier League HQ have taken a hammering in the last week

Whether Scudamore's e-mails were private or not, he sent them and disrespected women generally by his remarks. He's not fit to hold the job and should be sacked, but of course all his mates at the premier league are probably just as bad.

Yup - and that is why they voted for him to stay on. Especially as he is the one who gets the goose to lay golden eggs.

It's not just you Chico.  It's the same for politicians.  The reason that politicians from across the so-called political divide are so reluctant to expose any wrong-doing on the other side is because their laundry is every bit as dirty.

What did Scudamore actually say? On every report I've read it says he's made sexist remarks but doesn't mention what they were.

Just heard that they've decided to take no action on Scudamore but are suing the woman who leaked the emails. Just about sums the state of the suits running the game now.

In one he said women are irrational, and in another he referred to "big tiited broads."

he probably forwarded the 'Tit Monday' thread, if it happened to be along those lines I think he should keep his job

Yeah, but what were the controversial things he's supposed to have said?





I jest, of course, female H&Vers!

She might want to sit in on today's IIA Whistleblower webinar

I'm far from a fan of Richard Scudamore on the basis he's had by far the biggest influence (after HDE) in destroying any chance of the Villa competing at the top of the league but this does seem to have been blown out of proportion quite substantially.  They're stupid emails to send but as an example, the quote in the second line of this report isn't even something he wrote!  You get the feeling he's got a few enemies in Fleet Street who've spied an opportunity to take him down.
