THE

selection panel to appoint Richard Scudamore’s successor will be made up of Bruce Buck, chairman of the PL audit and remuneration committee, plus Leicester’s Susan Whelan and new member Mike Garlick of Burnley, along with independent directors Claudia Arney and Kevin Beeston. Despite their highfalutin PL titles of managing director and executive director, Richard Masters and Bill Bush have zero chance of being appointed. And FA chief executive Martin Glenn has already ruled himself out.
