The resulting outrage has prompted PlayOJO, a bastion of fairness, into action – hand-delivering a themed leaving hamper comprising of ‘normal’ leaving gifts to Premier League HQ.

Whereas Premier League clubs were asked to contribute £250,000 each, PlayOJO, who are challenging the online casino market by being fair and transparent, spent a much more reasonable £250 to fill up Richard’s less is Scuda-more leaving hamper and themed the presents to his tenure at the Premier League.

A spokesperson for PlayOJO, said: “Given most of us have to put up with a leaving present we don’t like and a giant card, Richard Scudamore’s £5,000,000 golden goodbye feels a touch unfair. And it’s not just disappointed departures who should feel hard done by, £250,000 is far too much an ask for the clubs – everyone knows you chip in a fiver at most!

“As a result, we wanted to provide an alternative leaving hamper that’s not just fairer on the clubs, but also on Richard too. It’s a bit embarrassing to receive such a bumper present from your peers, so hopefully he’ll appreciate a less Premier leaving present.”
