Richard Scudamore: Premier League clubs asked for £250,000 towards £5m bonus By Simon Stone BBC Sport 25 minutes ago | Premier League All 20 Premier League clubs have been asked for a £250,000 contribution so that the league's outgoing executive chairman Richard Scudamore can be given a £5m farewell gift. The clubs were asked for the money before a meeting on Tuesday. It is expected they will agree to Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck's request. Scudamore, 59, who is reportedly paid £2.5m per season, is stepping down next month after 19 years at the organisation. The league's UK television rights were valued at around £670m when he joined, and the last deal was worth £5.14bn. Buck, who has developed a close friendship with Scudamore since becoming Chelsea chairman in 2003, received backing from top-flight clubs during a meeting at Premier League headquarters in London. Should every club contribute, the outgoing boss will receive an additional £5m windfall as a token of appreciation for his successful tenure. "We expect to make an appropriate appointment in good time so there can be a seamless transition," Buck said after Scudamore's departure was announced in June. The Chelsea chairman has been leading the search for Scudamore's successor along with Leicester City chief executive Susan Whelan and Burnley chairman Mike Garlick. Scudamore joined the Premier League in November 1999 as chief executive, before moving to his current role in June 2014. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46197761
Administrator Stan Posted November 13, 2018 Administrator Posted November 13, 2018 That's an absolute fucking joke considering all of that money could be spent towards grass-roots football instead of bumping someone's last pay-check. £250k?! Each?! Laughable considering how far £5m could go towards helping save other clubs, or just not given away at all. It's not like he's on a pittance of a wage or won't get a pay-off from the FA as it is.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 13, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 13, 2018 Forget about the £250,000. How are senior figures at the FA pocketing £2.5m a season? I know it's football like but how is that justified in any way? Chop that salary at least in half and start distributing that to grass roots football and clubs that can't afford a groundsman to maintain their pitch.
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 15, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 15, 2018 Transfer deadline day: Premier League summer window to close early again 31 minutes ago | Premier League Premier League clubs have agreed that the summer transfer window will again close before the start of the new season - although the date has yet to be confirmed. This year the clubs voted for it to close on 9 August - a day before the start of the Premier League season. In previous years the window had closed on 31 August. Managers had complained that signing players once the season was underway causes disruption to preparations. However, Leicester City boss Claude Puel was one of several who voiced his concerns about the change. The Frenchman said it would give clubs from Europe's other leagues a competitive edge because their windows closed later. "Of course all the managers, trainers want to start the season with the transfer window stopping but other counties can continue to buy players," he said in May.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 19, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 19, 2018 West Ham settle London Stadium dispute with landlords at last minute By Simon Stone BBC Sport West Ham have reached an out-of-court settlement in a bitter dispute with landlords E20 on the day a costly High Court case was set to get underway. The two parties confirmed an agreement has been reached towards the London Stadium's capacity going up to 66,000. "Subject to regulatory permissions, the club will be able to sell up to 60,000 tickets for their games as soon as possible," said a joint statement. It is believed the Premier League club will pay some additional costs. However, it is thought both they and E20 - the organisation responsible for the stadium on matchdays - will receive financial benefits. The legal costs for the case were set to run into millions of pounds. "Both parties are delighted to have taken the first step towards the stadium reaching its potential of up to 66,000 capacity, to their mutual benefit, and would see it become the largest in London and the second largest in the Premier League," added the joint statement. "The increase in capacity will also make the London Stadium a more attractive proposition for a potential naming rights partner. "The agreement brings with it more funding for E20 and significant additional revenue for West Ham United on match days - a deal that works for everyone." When West Ham agreed to move into the old Olympic Stadium, they thought the capacity would eventually reach 66,000 but, in recent times, it has been restricted to 57,000. Hammers vice-chairman Karren Brady has led the club's efforts to find a solution and it is felt her positive relationship with E20 chief executive Lyn Garner has been a major factor in the latest development. The joint statement said: "West Ham United and E20 will now work together to maximise this magnificent stadium for the benefit of fans, our community, and the public purse. Both parties are fully committed to making the London Stadium the jewel in London's crown that we all know it can be." Analysis The relationship between West Ham and their landlords has been extremely fractious. West Ham have felt agreements have not been honoured and have been hugely critical about the stewarding and, from a financial perspective, the catering agreements. E20 have felt the club were asking them to provide services they weren't paying for. However, the appointment of Lyn Garner as E20 chief executive has brought about a thaw in relations. Garner has a positive working relationship with Karren Brady and, whilst it would be wishful thinking to believe such a complicated chain of command as the one that exists around the London Stadium operational structure will not have its issues in the future, at least both sides are now moving in the same direction again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46259611
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 21, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 21, 2018 Premier League says 'no evidence' tightening player quotas will help England By Alistair Magowan BBC Sport 2 hours ago | Football The Premier League said there is "no evidence" placing further restrictions on foreign players would improve England teams, after the Football Association called for reform. The FA hopes to use Brexit talks to cut the amount of non-home-grown players in top-flight squads from 17 to 13. It says it wants the reduction in 25-man squads even if there is a longer transition period or second referendum. The proposal was met with resistance by Premier League clubs last week. And in a statement on Wednesday, the Premier League said it was "working with clubs to operate a world-leading player development system which delivers for England teams at every level". It added: "There is no evidence that stronger quotas that exist now would have a positive impact on national teams. "We approach this matter in the interests of British football as a whole and have held positive discussions with the EFL and the Scottish Professional Football League, who both agree that Brexit should not be used to weaken playing squads in British football, nor to harm clubs' ability to sign international players. "The three league bodies also recognize that the development pathway for young British players needs to be further enhanced and are committed to finding ways of achieving this across all professional clubs." Talks are ongoing after the FA, Premier League and EFL were asked by the government to come up with a joint view on post-Brexit policy. England boss Gareth Southgate has bemoaned the lack of English players in the top flight - about 30% - despite reaching the World Cup semi-finals for the first time in 28 years. The Premier League said its efforts were "demonstrated by the many Premier League club academy and senior players that FA coaches molded so well into Under-17 and Under-20 World Cup winners and men's World Cup semi-finalists". How might Brexit affect the Premier League? When Brexit happens, EU players will no longer have free movement between clubs and be classed the same as non-EU players. That means they would need to meet strict criteria - such as how many caps they have won and where their country is in Fifa's world rankings - in order to get a work permit. But the FA also wants to create a fully open market so that if a player from the EU or non-EU were offered a contract by a Premier League club, they would meet the required governing body endorsement. It is hoped that approach might help during negotiations about quotas. The existing system has been in place since 2011 and a steady increase in non-home-grown players meant Premier League squads had 260 in total at the start of the 2018-19 season - an average of 13 per squad. At the current rate of growth, the Premier League would reach its available capacity of 340 non-home-grown players by 2030. Research also shows 65% of the Premier League's European players would not have qualified through the current system. The Premier League added: "Away from playing squads, it is important to recognize the global interest in the Premier League and in our clubs when they compete in the FA and Carabao Cup competitions. "Our competition is watched in 189 countries, 700,000 visitors to the UK per season attend a match, clubs employ 12,000 full-time staff and Premier League football generates £3.3bn per season in taxes. "We have a positive working relationship with the FA and will continue to have constructive discussions with them, and other stakeholders." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46290889

Manchester United players earning half a million more than Manchester City rivals 3 hours ago | Football First-team players at Manchester United are earning on average half a million pounds a year more than Premier League champions Manchester City, according to the Global Sports Salaries Survey. United players are also picking up almost double what Tottenham are paying their first-team squad. Meanwhile, Barcelona have become the first sports team to pay an average yearly salary of more than £10m. Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United are also in the top 10 spenders. The other six clubs in the top 10 all come from the NBA. Clubs in the Premier League are paying, on average, more than top-flight football clubs in any other country per game, although cricket's Indian Premier League and American football's NFL top the spending on a per-game basis. Premier League big spenders Manchester City may have won the Premier League last season, but they come in behind Manchester United this term on wages with the Old Trafford club paying an average of £6,534,654 per year to first-team players. City's yearly bill comes in at £5,993,000, followed by Chelsea (£5,020,004), Liverpool (£4,862,963), Arsenal (£4,853,130) and Tottenham (£3,515,778). Everton and West Ham follow closely behind Spurs, while Cardiff, Huddersfield, and Burnley make up the bottom three - the Bluebirds are the only Premier League club to come in under £1m for the year. That said, despite Burnley's average annual first-team wage of £1,603,197 placing them third-bottom of the Premier League pile, the Clarets are still paying more than the likes of Ligue 1's Monaco and Bundesliga side RB Leipzig. "The two Manchester clubs, United and City, remain clear of the rest in basic pay terms according to our calculations," said Sporting Intelligence, who conduct the survey. "We thought last year that whichever of the pair achieved the most on the pitch would end up with the larger of the two overall wage bills (all staff) for 2017-18. "In fact, City won the league and had wages of £260m and United faltered but paid out £296m." City finished as champions ahead of United, but while Pep Guardiola's side top the league again this campaign Jose Mourinho's outfit have slipped to seventh. Sporting Intelligence says this was largely down to United's return to the Champions League, but do point out some of Manchester City's wage bill appears under the City Football Group. Barcelona break the £10 million mark Not only have Barcelona become the first sports club in the world to pay an average of more than £10m a year to first-team players, the Spanish giants have also broken the £200,000-per-week barrier for the first time. On average, first-teamers at the Nou Camp earn £10,454,259 a year, which translates to an average £201,043 per week. European champions and La Liga rivals Real Madrid are second on the list with a yearly average of £8,089,582, with Italian side Juventus the third-highest paying football club at £6,726,615 on average per year. Despite Barca and Real's dominance on the pay scale, the average Premier League yearly salary remains 36% higher than that of La Liga and almost double the amount paid to players in Italy's Serie A. Basketball's Oklahoma City Thunder are the highest-paying non-football club, closely followed by Golden State Warriors, while outside of football and basketball it is Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs who lead the way as the 30th highest-paying sports team. IPL and NFL paying most per game With just 14 games per season, the IPL tops the charts for the average pay per player, per game at £274,624, while the NFL comes in at £138,354 over 16 games. In comparison, Premier League teams are paying their players an average of £78,703 per match during a 38-game season. "Two notable things happened with IPL wages in 2018: they got bigger, and the outlay by different teams got closer together," says Sporting Intelligence. "A new five-year TV rights deal, concluded last year for £1.96bn for 2018-2022, has come on stream. That guarantees the medium-term future of an event that has often struggled for certainty. "Uniquely, IPL salaries are pro-rated from weekly pay to annual pay because, again uniquely, IPL players typically have multiple different professional employers concurrently. "The vast majority of other teams in other leagues contract their players for at least a year at a time. You simply don't get NFL stars playing a season in the USA then another in Germany in the same year, or a Premier League player appearing freelance for six different teams in a campaign." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46341672

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 29, 2018 Subscriber Posted December 29, 2018 Premier League stats: Jordan Pickford, Chris Hughton, Steve Mounie, Mauricio Pochettino 51 minutes ago | Premier League Fulham picked up a valuable win against Huddersfield in the battle between the relegation candidates, while Tottenham surprisingly slipped up in their pursuit of leaders Liverpool. Here we look at some of the most interesting stats to come from Saturday's games, including Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's shocking December. What happened in the Premier League on Saturday? Brighton manager Chris Hughton recorded his first Premier League win against Everton since February 2013, when he was in charge of Norwich. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford continues to be leaky in December, conceding his 15th goal in the Premier League this month - as many as he had in August, September, October, and November of this season combined. Following their 1-0 win over Huddersfield, none of Fulham's last 158 home league matches has ended goalless. Terriers striker Steve Mounie had two shots in this game without success, taking his tally to 32 without scoring in the Premier League this season - the most of any player. Cardiff managed a third away Premier League clean sheet of the season with their 1-0 win at Leicester - as many as they managed during the entirety of their last top-flight campaign in 2013-14. The 3-1 defeat by Wolves was Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino's first ever Premier League loss against a newly promoted side while in charge of Spurs - the Argentine was unbeaten in 27 such previous meetings (W25 D2). Wolves recorded their first Premier League win over their opponents since February 2010, having gone without a victory in their previous five meetings in the competition (D2 L3). Having drawn 1-1 against Newcastle, Watford has picked up just nine points from their last 10 Premier League matches (W2 D3 L5), 10 fewer than the number they amassed in the previous 10 such games before this run (W6 D1 L3). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46712276

Unfortunately I think Huddersfield are gone. For the rest down there it's all to play for.
