Sad to see we are not in there.
We should just pay it to Albion in the Community and name it the Scudamore fund recognising his passion to our community.

Well, that was worth binning off the free tea then wasn't it.

Absolute joke.
I normally hate whataboutism, because (especially where money is concerned) it's never as simple as money ringfenced for this thing should be spent on that thing instead.
But, in this case. That is 250,000 we are getting NOTHING for. If we can afford to toss a quarter of a million quid at a millionaire who's quitting his job, we can afford to toss a quarter of a million quid at REMF or local schools, or helping retired players or anything, literally ANYTHING else.

He's not even 'leaving', as in leaving but staying on in an advisory capacity.

Agreed. And the fact that we've only been a part of Scudamore's pool party for one season makes it even more of a joke - we've been on the outside looking in for almost his entire spell. I'd love to hear Barbers justification for this.
They needed 14 of the 20 clubs to agree to it in order to get this through. We should CERTAINLY have sided with the other 5 clubs who opposed it, then we'd only have needed one more club to say 'no' to get it blocked.
The club supports a lot of great stuff in the community, but it leaves a really, really sour taste when BHA feels its ok to give an outgoing fatcat a £250k "thank you" bung that he in no way needs.
Grubby, grubby, grubby.

Genuinely, if it is confirmed that we have contributed the reported sum to this 'bonus', then I want to hear from Barber why we agreed to do so, and if it was effectively a 'no choice' scenario, then I want to know that.
Otherwise, please, please don't bother sending me little videos of Bruno asking that I bring a pound for the latest AITC bucket collection, or whatever. Like, ever again.
He wouldn't get out of bed for the PM's salary.

All Albion supporters and AITC deserve to know exactly the reasoning behind Barber supporting this. Have we really forgotten our past so quickly? Even ten years ago that sort of money would have made a MASSIVE difference to the club.

A terrible look when so many who are involved with the grass roots have nothing. Hopefully Scudamore will put the whole lot in a trust fund to promote decent facilities for children to play and be coached , then again pigs might fly

Approx 500 season ticket holders money spunked on a farewell gift for a multi millionaire. It wasn't that long ago, Aaron Berry won that in the coca cola competition.
What a shower of shit we have become.

Terrible, I'll also look forward to the justification from the club.

My suspicion is that Barber will have "nothing to add" to the official Premier League statement that has come out today.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly, despite them releasing a statement, there is absolutely no mention of this bung on the official Premier League website either.

Disgusting. I'm so angry we've contributed (if the post above is correct about the 5 clubs who didn't).
Never felt so disconnected from the club.
