The same HMRC that collects and distributes a lot of money to the NHS , education etc etc . If the PL were to collapse it would leave a very large hole in the countries budget . Whether you like it or not Scudamore is responsible for the incredible success of the PL product around the world which has generated a lot of ££ for this country so a £5m golden handshake is probably justified  , if not palletable to the common football fan .

'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

They will be paid into foreign accounts, e.g. Switzerland etc and employ very clever but expensive accountants who will know every loophole available.

I fuckingg hate the premiership tbh I've hated the Premiersh*t since the day it was formed. Unfortunately while people keep contributing to Sky Sports and BT ( and I dare say a few on this site do! ) then the bandwagon/gravy train will rumble on while grass roots football continues to struggle.

The EFL said it breached rules because only payments included in player contracts can be made. https://www.manchestereveningn.....r-andy-holt-14487617 If you're the chairman (nice guy RIP) of Leicester and hand out cars or the chairman of the Premier League and get £5m thats ok?
