This Fool Doesnt Give Up

[sanmiguel]

Lets be perfectly clear the Premier League is a financial success wholly because of Rupert Murdoch and his American marketing techniques and has nothing to do with any Chief Executive, or similar over paid fool so i dont see why he should be allowed to ruin it.

If you had to play Manure 3 times and got relegated on goal difference, it'd make the relegation system a farce, and does he serioulsy think 60,000 Americans/ Asians etc...will pay 40 quid a ticket to watch Wigan play Bolton.

http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...5008615,00.htmlThe chief executive floated the idea of the '39th' game last year, which would have seen an additional set of fixtures added to the Premier League calendar with the games due to be played anywhere in the world.

The backlash to the plan meant the scheme was put on ice, but Scudamore has again confirmed that the issue is far from dead and the extra games will be brought in.

"It's on the back-burner for a bit but playing games abroad will happen, it's just a question of in which format," Scudamore told the Daily Mail.

Scudamore insisted the extra games would not be a pre-cursor to any European Super League.

He added: "The difference between this and the European Super League is that the European Super League isn't inevitable - that's the difference."

he's an absolute arsehol_e is scudamore. it's an utterly unworkable idea which would undermine the 'spirit of the game' he usually delights in banging on about and is driven solely by greed and nothing else.
