Premier League clubs asked to give Scudamore £5m farewell gift
All 20 Premier League clubs have been asked for a £250,000 contribution in order to present the league’s outgoing executive chairman Richard Scudamore with a £5 million farewell gift.
The clubs were asked for the money before a meeting on Tuesday.
It is expected they will agree to Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck’s request.
Scudamore, 59, who is reportedly paid £2.5 million per season, is stepping down next month after 19 years at the organisation.
The league’s UK television rights were valued at about £670m when he joined, and the last deal was worth £5.14bn.
Buck, who has developed a close friendship with Scudamore since becoming Chelsea chairman in 2003, received backing from top-flight clubs during a meeting at the Premier League headquarters in London.
Should every club contribute, the outgoing boss will receive an additional £5m windfall as a token of appreciation for his successful tenure.
“We expect to make an appropriate appointment in good time so there can be a seamless transition,” Buck said after Scudamore’s departure was announced in June.
The Chelsea chairman has been leading the search for Scudamore’s successor along with Leicester chief executive Susan Whelan and Burnley chairman Mike Garlick, but an announcement has yet to be made.
Scudamore joined the Premier League in November 1999 as chief executive, before moving to his current role in June 2014.

McClean, who becomes Stoke’s fourth signing of the summer, has agreed a four-year contract with the Potters.
“James is a player I’ve admired for a long time. He has real quality with his left foot and is an old-fashioned winger,” said boss Gary Rowett.[1]
McClean refused to attend a pre-season training camp in Scotland[2] with the Baggies earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Stoke have also been linked with moves for Huddersfield winger Tom Ince and Aston Villa defender James Chester.
The Potters had a £5m bid for Chester[3] rejected last Saturday.
