Sorry if there are other threads about this, couldn't find any.

Richard Scudamore, head of the Premier League, has been merrily sending emails referring to women as 'gash' and 'skinny big-titted broads', 'irrational' and lots of other incendiary misogynist shite.

Oh but he's apologised. That's nice eh, nothing to see here

Apparently he reports to the Premier League Board, which is two people, one of whom is errrrrr Richard Scudamore

AIBU to think an apology is nowhere near enough and he should bloody well resign?

It's been reported that the Premier League's women's officer has been told not to make any comment. Wouldn't want the shiny-suited money-making boys' club to be unnecessarily disturbed by any harpies would we

Anyone for a Premier League boycott next season? (Congrats to Man City by the way) How about we all give our money to the women's game instead

Hi all. Just to let you know the Telegraph have reported that Richard Scudamore is to face a formal hearing over his emails.

Additional comment from Alex Horne, General Secretary of the FA too

“It is important I communicate to all staff how disappointed all of us are in the tone and nature of the content of these emails which we believe is totally inappropriate.

“Richard is not an employee of the FA and the matter is one for the Premier League to address considering their respective policies. The issue is something we will continue to monitor.”

Hi there. Just to say we've tweaked the title of this thread to clarify in light of whatscomingoverthehill's comment.

Hi all,

I just wanted to point you to a new thread on Richard Scudamore here. What questions do you think he should face at his hearing on Tuesday? Let us know on the other thread and we'll compile the best into a page on the site.

Thanks
