Premier League chief Richard *Scudamore’s sexist views are today exposed by his former PA.

She reveals how the boss who publicly backs women’s football exchanged sleazy emails with senior colleagues in which females were referred to as “gash”.

In one message, married Scudamore told a lawyer friend who works on behalf of th Premier League to keep a woman colleague they nicknamed Edna “off your shaft”.

And in another he said: “I had a girlfriend once called double decker… happy for you to play upstairs, but her Dad got angry if you went below”. He also mocked “female *irrationality” and forwarded one joke from a pal about a prince who “banged skinny big t****d broads”. Scudamore – who will be at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium today for their expected crowning as Premier League champions – likes to be seen as a champion of equality in the game.

He has joined forces with the FA and Sports England to promote a new FA Women and Girls programme with a £2.4million investment over two years.

The soccer boss has publicly claimed the league strives to be at “the leading edge” of the “whole equality agenda”.

But his former PA saw another side to 54-year-old Scudamore who earns more than £1million a year. She told the Sunday Mirror his emails were sent to her *automatically while she was working for him at the Premier League last October so she could arrange his diary.

Some vile temp pa leaked private emails. I cant imagine she will be getting work anytime soon.

..his 'former PA.'..so she was ok with it when she worked for him then.?...I have less respect for people who sell some of these stories than for any 'LAD' behaviour/talk...

Hmm agree with Vicky that it's not a big deal tbh...

So she was fine with until she stopped working for him? and it's not very professional of her to go public with her former employers private emails tbh.

Doesn't seem that bad to me. The PA's worse for being petty and leaking private emails.
