Thing is, I accept that in many ways the game is bent, and that certain other clubs benefit from that in various ways, but whenever questioning whether things are entirely as they seem, you have to apply logic - and logic tells me that the Premier League is richer than ever, and the principal reason for that is the latest tv deal that was negotiated off the back of the league providing the best entertainment, which is characterised by the fact that unlike Germany, Spain and Italy (where a total of four clubs can realistically win those leagues) the Premier League can be won by up to six clubs. That is its USP and we are very much a part of that. If earnings were down, then the counter-argument would carry significantly more force, as money usually provides the answer where human beings are concerned. In this instance, the answer appears to be that the Premier League does not hate our presence at the top table, for entirely commercial reasons. If we were to dominate, like united once did, then their perspective would doubtless change, but that is descending into the realms of speculation, for now at least.
I read it that competition is welcomed because that maintains interest but having a successful Man U within that scenario is the best possible outcome for the PL brand. It's not too big a leap of logic to see that they (United) will enjoy favourable conditions to encourage that to happen.
 
It is pretty easy to interpret it in that way though! He admits that Man Utd doing badly impacts the PL but that needs to be 'offset' (interesting word) by the need to show competition. He leaves no doubt that a successful Man U is 'good' for the PL from a business perspective.
There is a world of difference between preferring something and needing it, which is what was suggested as his quote, which he never said, so I disagree. People may interpret it that way, but I would suggest this if you're trying to advance an argument, misquoting someone does little but undermine it in the minds of those you are seeking to persuade :-)

Do you think scudamore would want a repeat of whisky nose's dominance, or as it is right now?

You could read it any number of ways, to suit whatever argument you fancied, mate. The human mind is a fascinating instrument.
 
I've scanned that article and I can't find the quote you've proffered to support your argument, namely that the Premier League "needs a successful Man Utd". He didn't say that. You may interpret it that way, but that's an entirely different thing. You wouldn't be paraphrasing to try and bolster a weak case, would you? :-)
Your talking shit.and you know it GDM.
Its quite clear from the arrogant business man scudamores,s mouth that the premiership product worldwide profits were affected by a poor utd side.
Now stop scoring points off a fellow blue by way of clinical english grammar.lets gets straight to the fucking point.
He is saying the prem needs a successful utd.for money.
Thats why utd scored something like (im not clinical like u ) 10 offside goals last season,and their opponents had something like 8 goals wrongly adjudged offside.
As we approach a weekend of prem football where Sir Anfhony Taylor, the utd fan,is down to ref our game at watford,think back to his last visit to our place and the clear cheating he carried out then......some pompous City fans need to wake the fuck up.

Shouldn't you be shagging your cousin in Ilkeston at this time of day?

I have never seen such refereeing, in the decades I have watched the game, that, when it came to the most important decisions, a referee showed such bias, ineptitude, favouritism - call it what you like. He shafted us. I don't expect anything more from Taylor these days after that performance.
 
It's hard to argue that the Rags being competitive doesn't have an influence on the PL's coffers this doesn't mean it would be good business if they won everything, however not getting into the CL year on year or getting dumped out at the group stages would undoubtedly have a long term negative effect.
