    What's people's thoughts on Scudamore being given £250k from each PL club as a leaving gift?

    Think it's disgusting personally. Just shows how far away from reality football is nowadays.

    I think he's already been paid more than well enough for the job he's done and if they asked me for £250K I'd politely but firmly tell them to stick it up their arse.

    Gross. An insult to football supporters who keep the game in existence. If the salary wasn’t good enough , he should have looked for employment elsewhere .

    The £4.75 million golden handshake. Can't see Ashley agreeing to that.

    If it was a case of clubs donating 250k in order that a donation to charity could be made in Scudamore's name I would see it as a mice gesture. Just to give a bloke who earns 2.5 million a year a bit of extra cash, it lacks class, taste, and dignity in the extreme.

    Absolutely horrendous. Another reason why I am happy to be out of the premiership. Like he needs the extra money.

    This is an absolute disgrace and and another reason why a radical overhaul is required. a 5 million pound golden handshake on top of the exorbitant salary and the 6 million pound bonus he received for negotiating the last deal with Sky. I have no doubt, that will be salted away off shore with little or no taxes paid.My C.V. is in the post i need a job like that,Mercenary Bastard, crawl back under your stone .

    The clubs would be better thought of if they paid this money straight into the accounts of the British Legion or some other worthwhile charity.
    Greed for the sake of greed if this comes about. Disgusting idea.

    According to the BBC website it's all been agreed.
    Totally disgusted.

    All premiership supporters should hold “ no to £250 k. “ cards up at the next games .

    There's a lass with an absolutely horrible scouse accent (and I don't have a problem with the accent usually) who dresses to impress other women, I think, and it's obvious that she's got absolutely no idea about football . . . . I can't stand her or understand why she's on :steam:

    I can understand why Bianca Westwood

    Disgusting. Money should be going into grass roots football if anything.
