    At Chelsea chairman's behest all 20 Premier League clubs are being asked to contribute stg£250,000 to fund a stg£5,000,000 parting "gift" to Premier League chairman Richard Scudamore when he steps down later this year..........WTF?

    As Danny Dyer said: ‘trotters up’ now for Scudamore? That grassroots football should be starved of funds while premier league clubs can find money for this.......

    Someone called Susanna Dinnage to replace Scudamore. No idea who she is, but comes from Discovery channel.

    Maybe instead they could donate it to there local food bank; already desperately short of donations nationwide, footfall is going to go through the roof the more Universal Credit is rolled out Additionally they could build shed loads of hostels to house the thousands that will be made homeless through Universal Credit

    Food banks in the UK could be solved in 20 seconds imo

    Change the parameters of the idiot sell by dates that fools religiously go by plus make it illegal for supermarkets and pharmaceutical companies to send product to landfill

    I believe that's who she is........

    God we're showing our ages...........Can remember Fred and Jack Hargreaves as the country back to nature presenter on the show, can't recall the name of the mad scientist or the female presenter...........

    Still think this £5m can be put to better use,,,,,,,,

    Out of town with Jack Hargreaves...

    I have a true story about that as my late father witnessed the show baiting up lay lines near Dungeness Kent

    At low tide two posts are set with a line between
    baited hooks hang from the master line
    A thing my dad used to do in the same area

    When Out of town shot Jack Hargreaves baiting up it all looked normal expect after that shot they then hand hooked fish back onto every hook!

    Voila the next day as they shot the reveal as the tIde retreated in its circle fish aplenty

    14 baited hooks 14 day old fish a full house first go! great skills from Jack Hargreaves

    I used to do this in places in Sussex and cannot ever remember getting a full house ever

    That’s show business and it’s the reason I now piss myself when I ever watch Countyfile

    I thought the reason people pissed themselves watching Countryfile was because they're old.

    If Scudamore was involved in the TV negotiations £5m is nothing to what he has earned for PL clubs. But a weird thing to do in the media.

    Elsewhere 16 Championship clubs have told the EFL that unless it rejects the Sky offer (something like £500m 2019 to 2024) and goes for shorter contract lengths they will break away and form a PL2. I don’t think QPR are involved, at least not mentioned in the paper.

    If I was one of the other clubs I'd send a letter back saying only "**** off".

    Would of been a lot cheaper to sack him following allegations made involving fiddling with dogs

    Is there any proof of these allegations regarding Chelsea?
