This.He is looking at it from a business point of view. He said he wants the chance of rhe trophy going to different places on the last day of the season..... He wants an Aguerooooooo moment every season. Why? Because that attracts viewers = money....
How many viewers watched the final day of last season around the world compared to our previous 2 titles....

referees promote game management.
This is an admission of the fact.

We’ll be fine. There’s nothing wrong at all in what he’s said here.

Personally, I'd prefer a team playing the beautiful game to win the league rather than some contrived competition that lets in the shite on offer from the rags, et al.

"I'd like someone to get a little bit closer to Manchester City".
Translation:
"If the referees don't make this a closer title race, the Premier League will freeze or reduce the funding for PGMOL".
I don't know why English referees aren't wholly funded by its not-for-profit football association, like every other country in the world.

I watched his interview, it’s far fetched in the extreme to suggest he’s going to be putting obstacles in the way of us winning it at a canter.
He was actually very complimentary about us. The interviewer was asking him about us, basically provoking a controversial answer and Scudamore was having none of it, he said we won it with “excellence” and that we deserved it.
Of course he wants a competitive league, that’s what makes the PL the best to watch in the world, the competitiveness.
Him saying the other year that it’s good for the league to have a competitive United, surely that’s just obvious? If the most widely followed team is doing well, more people around the world will watch? I think he was just speaking as a commercially minded executive, not as some kind of over-arching evil cartoon villain.
