Port Said Red Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44405190 For most people leaving a role like this it would be to "spend more time with my family", but in this case it might be to "spend more time watching Bristol City" .....

YorksRed Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Whatever your view is of the Premier League and how football has changed as a result (not all for the better in my view), with his experience and contacts, he’d be an excellent person to get involved in the running of the club in some capacity.

bcfcchris2016 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 If he starts making City games kick off at 12:30pm on a Saturday or 4pm on a Sunday. He can forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely....he is a very astute and switched on businessman who also happens to love our club....we’d be mad not to grab him and give him some sort of role....what an ambassador he’d be for Bristol City with his contacts and acumen....

Norn Iron Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 He's to leave his post according to the Beeb. It sounds like an honourable exit after 20 years in the office. So.....will he become a director of BCFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder about this. I know that some people are not keen on him, but as someone who had him as a customer of mine for nearly 5 years I can honestly say if all my customers were as personable and polite, my job at that time would have been much easier.

Monkeh Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I’d have him here in a shot his negotiation skills alone would make it worth it, but I suspect he’d get hundreds of offers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I’ve always thoughtf of him as an idiot. He might have part of negotiating good tv deals, but I don’t regard the Premier league as the great success as may seem to believe. Statistics show that it is not as competitive as the old first division it replaceds, and since it’s inception English clubs performance has been pitiful. This despite the fact it’s easier to qualify, and the influx of overseas players and coaches who are supposedly more technically gifted. Far from being the best league in the world, it is simply one of the best funded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from being the best league in the world, it is simply one of the best funded. Paid himself a nice £2.6m salary. Utterly obscene for a football administrator. Gone under the radar a bit today but on the day he leaves the top 6 clubs have secured a greater share of the TV deals ensuring further dominance for them. He certainly came across as friend of the big 4, against a level playing field and treated fans with contempt. Remember his plans for the 39th game...?

He has masses of high level administration experience in the football world and Im certain SL wouldn't have a problem if Scudamore was available and wouldn't hesitate to replace MA with a guy with Scudamores skills. That said, maybe Scudamore simply wants to enjoy his retirement - like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not dress up as traditional clowns but, for their own amusement, they tease and exploit "human foibles" in order to speak the "truth" and gain a reaction. Like clowns in make-up, Internet trolls hide behind "anonymous accounts and fake usernames."

Bedred31 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Todays Times reports (p.67): "Scudamore says he will spend more time watching his beloved Bristol City". Anyone who describes City as 'beloved' is good enough for me, although it has to be said that a £6m bonus between 2016-19 means he should be well set for the new season ticket price structure.

Agree with your first sentence - we can't allow someone with Scudamore's experience, contacts and knowledge not to be involved with the club he supports. If I was SL I would be on the phone like a shot offering some part time non executive directors role-. He would be there solely in an advisory capacity and not in the day to day work.
