Premier League official statement confirms that on top of the £20m+ he has already received, Richard Scudamore WILL get extra £5m bonus.

Mike Ashley asked if Newcastle United will give £250,000 leaving present to Richard Scudamore, there goes Rafa’s January transfer fund…

Premier League boss admits still determined to play some league matches abroad, also the unsold 40 Live TV matches set to be announced.

Richard Scudamore “When selecting matches…the clubs have sold them…they [TV companies] should therefore not be criticised for doing so.”

Bad enough 2 week international breaks like we are experiencing now but trapped in the house with family at Christmas/New Year, with no escape route…sends a shiver down the spine.

Obviously all this extra TV money will have brought down the real cost (after taking inflation into account) of going to matches…wrong! Prices have increased by up to 1100% and only in recent times are showing signs of levelling off.
