Do the club sound in teh least bit hacked off by it though, or did that Barber response come across as snipping at US for moaning about it?

It was a predictably corporate response I suppose, but at least it shed some light on how this is ACTUALLY being processed, as opposed to the emotive manner it is currently still being portrayed and discussed. You'd have thought the Premier League would have outlined this properly in their statement when they announced it, to at least partially allay some of the fallout. But then again - they probably REALLY don't give a shit what us fans think. When have they ever ?

Although I am still annoyed with the pay off, I am at least now happy the money will not come directly from us as I now understand it.

Its still money out of the game which could be spent on better things.

Thats pretty much where I am on all this now.

PB right or wrong, spin or no spin, story or non-story - this pretty much sums it up.

That will indeed be the case if Barber's explanation is exactly how Scudamore receives this bung. But thats still not what the media are reporting.

Although it says they voted on it...which PB denies.

The nature of the payment is that it does reduce the amount of money available to individual clubs

But why? I didn't get that impression from Barber's email - from his email I thought that general PL funds would be used. I don't see how the PL can just decide to take money from the clubs (or pay the clubs less, same difference) without their permission?

The EPL is a grubby organisation, they care for themselves and their £ first, second and last.

There wasn't a vote. The payment was agreed by the remuneration committee, which I think is chaired by Bruce Buck.

To be fair, £2.5M a year for a CEO of a BILLION pound organisation isn't that great is it ?

But you don't have to be especially bright to do that particular job in a no fail situation - does one ?

A stench by any other name is a stench, and no amount of deodorant sprayed on it can stop it being a stench. And a £5M bung to an already ridiculously rich and well paid person still comes out as a stench.

Seems Mr Scudamore‘s work at The Premier League in negotiating billion pound deals has created another even more worrying problem
