Richard scudamore emails mirror

You're referring to the infamous email exchange between Richard Scudamore, the former CEO of the Premier League, and a journalist from The Mirror.

In 2013, Scudamore sent an email to the journalist, Oliver Holt, in which he made some rather...unusual comments about the Premier League's TV rights deal. The email was leaked to the press and caused quite a stir.

Here's a summary of the email:

Scudamore wrote that the Premier League's TV rights deal was "a bloody good deal" and that the league was "making a bloody fortune" from it. He also joked about the league's TV partners, saying that they were "making a bloody killing" from the deal.

The email was widely criticized for its tone and language, with many accusing Scudamore of being out of touch with the league's fans and the wider football community. The Premier League ultimately apologized for Scudamore's comments and launched an investigation into the matter.

The email exchange was seen as a major embarrassment for the Premier League and led to calls for Scudamore to resign. He eventually stepped down as CEO in 2018, after 19 years in the role.

It's worth noting that Scudamore has since apologized for his comments and has acknowledged that they were "ill-judged" and "unhelpful". However, the email remains a memorable example of the Premier League's sometimes-tense relationship with the media and the wider football community.
