Following the news that Richard Scudamore, Chief Exec of the Premier League is to face a formal hearing about his sexist emails, Mumsnet users on this thread have been suggesting some questions he needs to answer.

'How would you feel as a woman working in your organisation?'

'Are you an asset to England's bid to host the 2019 [women's] world cup?'

'As a manager, how would you have responded if one of your staff had done this?'

What questions do you think he should face at his hearing on Tuesday? Let us know your thoughts and we'll compile the best into a page on the site.

Thanks

The PM, David Cameron has also just been asked about this on Five live. The Telegraph are reporting this as 'Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore should be sacked, David Cameron suggests.'

After being asked if:

“someone in your team could survive if they admitted that sort of thing”, after taking tough line on racism,

David Cameron replied:

“No I don’t think they would. But as I say I have not seen these specific texts and emails. I am very happy to go and look at them.”
