We are in complete agreement!
Summarised as the FA are toothless and Scudamore is a prick! |

You'd think he'd just respond with a "that's down to the individual clubs" bland statement wouldn't you.... |

Scudamore must be one of the most revolting human beings to have ever inhabited the earth.
Premier League: Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Khan... Championship: Jack the Ripper, Fred West, Jihadi John... League 1: Rupert Murdoch, Margaret Thatcher, Robert Maxwell... League 2: Richard Scudamore, David Mellor, Jed McCrory... |

Never paid for televised football and never will. If there were no fans (viewers) then the ridiculous salaries wouldn't exist.

Now here's a contest to rival "TEFs hardest animal". "TEFs least favourite shitbag" - will we go for a world stage prick or a local anti-hero? A modern day world ruiner or a villain of yore? It'd be like that BBC 100 Best Britons thing except Jeremy Clarkson would be on the list rather than presenting it... |

I'd place him (Scudamore) top of league one, with the 82ers! Edit - No Pol Pot? Double edit - or Bonnie Langford? |

Being a Slave Trader, he's not used to paying for labour so its probably quite a peculiar argument for him. |

I finally got around to reading the article and frankly, I don't know what Scudamore has said wrong. There's a national minimum wage which clubs have to adhere to, like any other business. If politicians think there needs to be a different measure for businesses which "make a lot of money", then they should legislate for it. We get a lot of similar pontificating about the banks and offshore businesses like Google, but you can't blame companies for adhering strictly to the existing laws. Rather than these cheap soundbites, they should sit down and table a bill.

I think it is his inability to even suggest that he would want to see clubs pay a living wage, or for the PL to ensure an increased proportion of the wealth is filtered down to the lower leagues and 'grass roots'. Just like a politician, he hides behind 'market forces' and his 'employers', when he could quite easily proffer a personal opinion or preferred direction he wants to take the PL. His interview did nothing to sway my opinion that the PL is a bag of self-serving shite that deserves to burst open and stain the limp dick that is the FA. |

If Sky have got this sort of money to throw around perhaps they should spend some replacing the useless bints they use to front their SSN programme.
That useless fucker who does match reports, the useless blond Irish shagger and the rest apart from Natalie Sawyer and Alex Greaves who actually know what they are talking about instead of just looking pretty reading from the autocue

I think Scudamore has a lot of competition and really is non-league quality when it comes to the aforementioned table, there are a lot of considerably more unpleasant people out there- they just keep it quieter! I would be interested to see where people place Tony Blair in that league table! |

I think the thing is the politicians like to press the living wage thing when it suits them, and football as 'the peoples game' (TM) is an easy target which will get some column inches, however legislating for it is an entirely different matter - similarly to the fact that Labour now bang on constantly about tax evasion having done bugger all about it when they had the chance between 1997 and 2010. Scudamore is employed by the clubs to maximise income, he starts criticising his employers and they will rapidly find someone else happy to earn a 6 figure salary and tow the party line. |

I never fail to conclude that Chelsea Football Club seem to personify everything that is wrong with football.
