Was just wondering what Ed’s and fellow blues thought about the Premier League asking for £250k from us to go towards Scudamore’s parting gift of £5 million. Personally I think it’s absolutely ludicrous. School funding in the city is on its arse, parents are having to use food banks more frequently to feed their children, grassroots football suffers year on year with a lack of funding and there is a homeless epidemic. Where do they get the cheek to ask for a bonus of £5 million for a guy who has earned almost £30 million over 20 years? Not only that, but in that time he has successfully managed to price the working class fan out of the game along with his cronies.
{Ed001's Note - don't get me started on this mate! I am sickened by it. His mate suggests it and most of them agreed because of his 'successful tenure'. What they mean is that he made them a lot of money, as there is absolutely nothing better about the Premier League since he took charge than there is now. The money should have been donated to charity.}

Completely agree Ed, plenty more worthy causes the money could go towards. Out of interest, do you know of any Prem clubs who have flat out refused to pay the £250k?
{Ed001's Note - I think there are 5 that have said no. Fulham have defo said no. I would like to think the other 4 would include both Merseyside clubs, but I am not sure. He was on £2.5m a year anyway, there is no need to give him more money.}
