BT chief’s Premier transfer

THE ousted boss of BT is being considered for the top job at football’s Premier League, it is claimed.

According to The Sunday Telegraph, Gavin Patterson ( pictured) has been tapped up to replace the premiership’s boss Richard Scudamore when he steps down later this year after almost two decades at the helm. It would be a lifeline for Patterson, 50, who has been given his marching orders over BT’s poor performance.
