Scudamore should do the decent thing and give away the 5m to charity
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree , it's a bit like PL footballers getting a testimonial after ten years of well paid service but thankfully now ,the trend started I think by Niall Quinn and carried on by the likes of Rooney and now Kompany , to donate all the proceeds to charity is quite refreshing
He's made life hell for real fans.
There were no Monday Night/Sunday Morning away games at the other end of the country before he jumped on the gravy train.

You are blaming a guy who started this job in 1999 for Monday night football.
Which started in 1992.
Odd.
He's had the authority for 19 years to make sure that games played at 'unsocial times' are only between clubs that are less than 50 miles but chose not to.
he should donate it straight to charity and stick 2 fingers up at them for doing such a thing if hes half a decent human being.
What planet are some of you people living on? Give the money to charity? What? A charity like the NSPCC where the Chief Exec is earning a 6 figure annual salary themself? Those kinds of charity you mean? Maybe Scudamore could prance around the streets throwing out his money to the tramps sleeping in doorways up and down the land so that they can rush off to their local Spice dealer and get off their face.
It’s a very small-minded, ignorant even, view of the world, that money can just be taken off of one person and thrown at a bunch of other people and all their problems will end.
£5 million is going to buy one hell of a carriage clock,lols
Give it to charity, indeed:
https://www.nspcc.org.uk/what-we-do/about-us/organisation-structure/how-your-money-is-spent/executive-pay/
Table of executive pay
During the financial year to the end of March 2017, the Chief Executive and board members were paid as follows:
Name Role Annual salary
Peter Wanless Chief Executive £170,000
Sherry Malik Director of Children's Services £129,000
Alison Jeremy Director of Communications £120,000
David Roberts Director of Corporate Services £131,000
Peter Watt Director of National Services £122,000
Siobhan Sheridan Director of People £110,000
Kate Stanley Director of Strategy, Policy and Evidence £77,000
As obscene as this appears, in the grand scheme of corporate reward it’s not a lot with him having increased revenue from £670m to over £5bn during his tenure.
In any private industry he’d have earned a hell of a lot more.

If only there existed some small or even tiny charities that none of us had likely even heard for which £5m would be a phenomenal on-the-ground game changer for many people's lives...

It's an obscene amount of money for someone who's already a Millionaire.
If chairmen want to give private gifts, it's up to them but I don't see why clubs should be pressured into it.
Ther's also the matter of clubs that have been relegated over the last few seasons, how much should they 'chip in'?
Think this might have been made public in tehope he will turn it down and or give the money to lower league football.
I do not understand why they think he should be entitled to a £5m send off. Wasn’t £2.5m a yearreward enugh?

Hopefully, Daniel will ask Scudamore for a donation towards our stadium

----------------------------------------------------------------------No it wasn't anywhere near reward enough.
Does anyone know what his pension deal is?
If it's Final Salary then his kids need never do a days work in their lives.

The bloke received a £6m bonus in 2016. Why does he need a £5m goodbye gesture?
Maybe the clubs should cnsider doing something for their fans with the money instead.

If the clubs have 250k swishing around to pay a bonus to someone who technically doesn’t actually work for them (not as if he is the clubs chief exec), then they can easily use a similar sum to chip in for ticket prices.

I just think they should pass it onto the fans. Provide free away travel for the season, put it in grass roots football, start apprenticeship programmes, etc.
Just fat cat fvcks sorting out other fat cat fvcks with others peoples money.
It's sh!t like this that leads to, somehow, the top 1% of the richest people doubling their wealth during a time of global recession and austerity.
The fact that it's 'the norm' does little to abate my feelings on it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A household income of below the UK’s average salary will put you in the richest 1% of people in the world. Assuming most people on here manage that, you don’t they then devote all their time to charitable endeavours? Makes me sick that there are people who can be so greedy as to earn £30,000 a year as teachers, extracting all that needless excess money from the government when they’re already so rich.
All about perspective isn’t it. This doesn’t sit right with me either but the criticism sportspeople get for earning such money (I remember a similar debate when a cricketer retired from South Africa duty to sign a more lucrative county contract) often loses that perspective.
Plus compared to many other execs (my CEO Marty Flanagan gets $14m a year and isn’t near the top of the industry) it’s not that high a salary or bonus to rile people up so much - it’s hardly Persimmon. Google Jim Ratcliffe for a guy who is actively taking money away from some of the most deprived people in Britain and rant about his actions instead. Clubs who a man helped to make rich getting a bonus that makes him slightly higher up in the world’s 99th percentile compared to us just isn’t something that can particularly rile me.

I'm sorry but this is nonsense.
Firstly, he is partially responsible for the billions that PL clubs will earn in tv rights and prize money that will come from all over the world so yes, he does work for PL clubs in that respect. I'm sure if you spoke to the clubs in La Liga and gave them the option, they would happily part with 250k to be in our situation.
Whether you like it or not he has been a great servant to your club.
Lastly, 250k would not go very far at all to subsidise ticket prices for a significant number of fans.
You issue with ticket prices has nothing to do with Scudamore, he has made funds available so that clubs can reduce prices, it's not his fault that they've opted not to and who can blame them? Fans seem happy enough to pay it!
