[Football] Would you sack Richard Scudermore ?

[ewe2]

Is this worst than Clarkson.......?

 

[Commander]

The world has gone mad. Who hasn't joked with their mates about women? It's pathetic all this faux outrage.

 

[Blackadder]

No. No, I wouldn't.

 

[Husty]

Well it's worse than Clarkson but only because there was absolutely nothing wrong with what Clarkson did or said. There's not a whole lot wrong with this either, a few quips about women in private emails. Whoop-di-fooking-do. Write an article when there is evidence of him actually discriminating against women and we can get outraged.

Abso-bloody-lutely.

 

[Scoffers]

Those that have been looking for a way to get rid of him are jumping all over this

 

[Goldstone1976]

Yes, without delay. Nothing to do with outrage, faux or otherwise; but on a strictly commercial basis. He's the CEO of a prestigious organisation and he's highly visible. He's brought the organisation he leads into the limelight in an extremely negative way. If he was the CEO of a large public company, he'd be gone within a week, and I predict he will be too, though it may take two weeks, given it's the PL.

It was his temporary PA who saw the email. He has been remarkably stupid to write such inflammatory things using a medium that can be read by an employee. If he had to write such things (...and it's only "banter", right?), why not use a strictly personal email account.

So, for the damage it will do the PL if he doesn't leave and for utter stupidity, he should and will (imo) go.

How come Blatter remains at his post despite all his famous gaffes ?

Well, he shouldn't of course.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Its getting to the point when its better to say no comment than risk your job which will ensure that our sports news is over taken by female presenters,lets have another program for womens sport for those who are interested

 

[The Modfather]

Not for those comments. However, if being a smarmy. dislikeable person is a sackable offence these days, then of course I would sack him.

 

[knocky1]

Yes when you look at Peta Bistany, the Australian Premier League Planning and Projects Manager, against the dirty old man Scudamore and dirty old man West from DLA Piper.

To think of her on either of their shafts whilst being called Edna is very offensive.

Absolutely.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Not after all those winners he rode in the eighties

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

No, I wouldn't; but live by the sword...

To be honest, from what I have seen, don't think there is too much in it but the bloke was a prize prat to put such stuff in an email! Question is, does he refer to any males in derogatory terms, if so then he is demonstrating equality. One wonders what gems might be found if they trawled through all the personal emails of some of the women that complain.

That said, might not be a bad thing if he did have to leave as he has been good at his job, maybe too good. Might serve football better if the Premier league was a bit weaker and the FA a bit stronger (although I'm no fan of Dyke either).

Which of your friends fronts an organisation of international importance and displays sexist and misogynistic tendencies?

I agree that the Clarkson thing was a nothing, but don't with the rest of it.

Agreed or *grittedteeth* This

Why did Shipman get done for his misdeads, but OJ Simpson not?

Bit odd BoF, have you been at the Sherry ? Shipman ( Harold ) committed suicide thus avoiding being " done " while O J Simpson had his time in court and managed to convice a jury of his innocence. Besides, this is a matter of some derogatory sexist comments, not sure if it can be ranked alongside the alleged crimes of Shipman/OJ ?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It was more of a reference towards people being accused of a crime and relative sentences handed out. I have been at the wine though, so I appeal for leniency.

Is this worst than Clarkson.......?

yes they were made for each other
