Each of the Premier League's 20 clubs has been asked to contribute £250,000 ($323,000) towards a £5m farewell bonus for the league's outgoing executive chairman, Richard Scudamore. The request, which was made before a meeting earlier in November by Discovery chairman Bruce Buck, is expected to be granted. Scudamore is stepping down from his role in December after 19 years at the organisation. His job will be divided up, with Chelsea FC's Susanna Dinnage becoming CEO and another appointee becoming chairman.
