Slightly different side of the fence but I've just heard on the news that Gordon Taylor, CEO of the PFA has a basic salary of £2.2 million a year.

They're all on the gravy train.

Gordon Taylor is and all has been a blabbering buffoon.

He's there to represent the interests of the players, Scudamore is there to represent the clubs. 

I assume both are doing a great job for the people they represent judging by their salaries.

Just my own opinion Utch. I'm a bit of a socialist at heart.

I met him five or six times, sat quietly in a room and kept my head down while he talked and talked. If he's a 2.2 million a year person then I'm a Dutchman.

Yesh indeed Shir a very shexy dutchman.

I am aware it's a fairly ridiculous opinion but I'm not sure any person in an administrative role is worth that big a salary.

Football has made a lot of very ordinarily average people an awful lot of money. Maybe a touch of hidden jealousy I'm not sure.

I wouldn't fall out with you over it. You're probably more right than I am.

How football clubs spend their money is purely their decision and is, and should be, out of the general publics control.

Now how they get that money in the first place is a completely different matter and is something within your control. 

So if people are against this as they say they are (a) stop buying tickets to Premier League matches  (b) stop watching Premier League matches on Sky or (c) cancel your Sky Sports subscription. 

When put like this I imagine that people aren't that outraged as to take such drastic action.

If you aren't part of the solution though, you're part of the cause...

TBF I think the public have every right to let the FA know how they feel about this. What the FA ultimately do though is obviously out of our hands.

a) haven't bought one since our last season in the EPL

b) don't watch premier league matches on Sky or anywhere else come to that

c) don't have Sky

This is nothing to do with Sky. It's the Premier League that have decided to pay the man this amount and it is the PL that are now backtracking slightly given the pressure that is coming upon them given that the money is now coming out of a central pot rather than directly from the clubs, apparently, and over 3 years.

They are effectively paying him more money for a three year consultant role than they paid him for working full time. 

I have long since stopped being outraged at anything to do with football generally but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't think that not only does the governance around this decision stink but that the prospect of paying an already well rewarded person a large sum of money for hanging around not doing very much is plain wrong.

I misunderstood then.

The article I read said each team was making a £250k contribution.

They originally were and effectively still are but given the reaction from fans and some of the clubs the PL have shifted a little.  They are now spreading the payments over 3 years and funding them from a central pot of money. That pot would normally be redistributed to the clubs.  

Scudamore still gets his money, the clubs still pay for it but it's just done in a different way. And is still wrong, particularly in matters of governance and quantum.
