To the multi-millionaires who are part and parcel of our football it is pretty much a drop in the ocean. It's not right, but the 'man in the street' and these people are worlds apart.

Lighthouse Posted 13 November, 2018 Share Posted 13 November, 2018 If he's been even half sensible with his money, he'll have enough to buy a 12 acre estate in Surrey, a chalet in Verbier and a Villa in the Maldives, with enough change left over to fly his family between them (first class) for the next 50 years. Why a man who has been CEO of the Premier League for 20 years needs a 'retirement gift' I have no idea. All that being said, I'm not in the slightest bit surprised.

kyle04 Posted 13 November, 2018 Share Posted 13 November, 2018 If you analyse where all the money originates from, it's Robin Hood in reverse, although that the PL is a vastly successful (financially) organization now no doubt he will feel entitled to his money. Bill Gates aside, it would be refreshing for the obscenely wealthy to give a little back now and then but it rarely seems to happen. Many players "earn" 5M+ each year, including some 3rd choice goalkeepers or so I hear. What do they do with all the money, seriously ?. Just another greedy pig at the trough....

Crab Lungs Posted 13 November, 2018 Share Posted 13 November, 2018 Women popping up all over the show now in football - and not all of it has to do with being the best candidates for their roles.

It's not exactly a hard sell, when half of Asia is mad for one of the big six. Plus most of the money just ends up being chucked around agents, transfer fees and wages.

For all the money we get paid, we still apparently need to sell to buy players.Well I don't think that's particularly fair. If it was so easy to see such a giant increase in money then all the other leagues would have done it. Under his leadership they've increased the revenues massively and from the clubs point of view I could see why he should take at least some of the credit for that. Its not that I like there being so much money in the game or that I'm glad it's happened but I can see why most of the clubs would view him as worthy of some of the credit for it. The reason that amount is a relative drop in the ocean for them has a fair bit to do with him. Edited 13 November, 2018 by hypochondriac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint WGC Posted 13 November, 2018 Share Posted 13 November, 2018 As most people have said, nothing but scandalous and hopefully SFC will for once prove they have some backbone and tell Buck and his Chelsea cronies where to go. After all, if Buck loves his mate so much, he can pay all of it...he must have the money after all. However if Saints go along with this charade, then I'm sure they will recoup the loss by whacking up season ticket prices and everything else fans pay for on match days. Oh and probably to watch more of the dire rubbish the team have served up the last two or three years. Personally, I think the vast majority of senior management in all businesses are "dodgy" at best and some are corrupt. Just look at the banks scandals and Tesco as examples of this. I've got a much better idea where Saints could pay that £250k towards, saying that a season ticket is about £500, how about renewing 500 free season tickets away in a ballot or draw. Think the club would get slightly better publicity doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintZamboni Posted 14 November, 2018 Share Posted 14 November, 2018 My proposal would be this: Any team that’s been in the premier league during his time should pay a % of the £5m based on the amount of seasons they spent in the league. The teams who have spent the most time in the league will pay the most. Seems fair given the rise in TV revenue. Champions league clubs should contribute further due to the 4 spots the premier league gets. Then money will be deducted for every team that dropped out of the premier league and was subsequently placed into administration, went under or had to be bought out. The deduction should be equivalent to the tax bill/money owed at time of administration. If it ends up being a negative total he can go shove his bonus up his arse due to the negative effect of his tenure on teams. If it’s positive then Chelsea can pay it from their oil money. Or city can pay it to somehow offset their FFP and cheat the league further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
