She deserved a seat in the House of Lords for that. Needs emphasising actually - didn't just vote against it, but was the only one who did, and who openly spoke out against it when even representatives of smaller, supposedly 'salt-of-the-earth' clubs voted in favour. She deserves it for that alone. 15 1

The Premier League were charging people £15 a match when they were home, scared, and not knowing if they were going to have a job when it all ended. It was a crass money grab, and the decision was immediately reviled by almost all other stakeholders. In the end, it didn't even make any money, since everyone just illegally streamed the games. 1
lcfc old boy Posted 2 June 2022 Posted 2 June 2022 absolute joke, gets immensely well paid for the job she does, while the people who really deserve the honours dont even get a look in ; and morons are saying richly deserved because she works for leicester city football club , the madness 1 1

Well, it was considered a public relations disaster and made the Premier League no money, and they later backpedaled on the whole deal, so, in that explaining that "nothing was taken away from the existing tv schedule and added to that new ppv", nope you explained that pretty well. In seemingly not understanding that it was an awful decision, completely not in touch with what was going on in the country, and a public relations disaster for the Premier League (bar one team -- ours), yeah, missed the point entirely. 1

There are also awards to "ordinary" people from different walks of life. Better than some Tory benefactor getting a knighthood. 2

What does her level of pay have to do with receiving an honour? Like she can't excel at her job because it's well-paid. Are we really saying only those on minimum wage or doing voluntary work should be honoured? There were something like 120 people on the list all from various sectors - business, charity, sport etc. Some would have been top earners, others JAMs. By that argument, we better not give the top earners in the Premier League golden boots, players of the season or any other gongs. After all, it's what they're paid for. Meanwhile Billy Sharp at Sheff Utd gets no recogniton....the madness Edited 2 June 2022 by iancognito 4
David Hankey Posted 2 June 2022 Posted 2 June 2022 Well, despite all the diatribe on here, I for one congratulate her for her efforts in helping to promote Leicester City Football Club. Well done!! 4
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 2 June 2022 Posted 2 June 2022 Those honours are only given to those with power and influence to keep them onside. Really smart form of soft power bought by the monarchy. 1 3

I bet if you pull up the full list you've never heard of most of them. 2

I don't know how you've come to the conclusion that I didn't understand that it was an awful decision, which of course it was. I hadn't offered my opinion in my previous post. I hope you continue to enjoy your bank holiday celebrations

I mean what is its function what does it do, does anyone care ? As a free man I would not dream of calling anyone sir ( Jimmy Savile etc ) or any of the other ridiculous outdate titles. The house of so-called lords for instance is the epitome of everything that is wrong in a society that purports to be democratic. Sorry Susan but your establishment award means nothing to me and I suspect means nothing to the vast majority in the country. 1

A post founded in absolute jealousy towards those that have made a better effort and achieved more. I for one salute her and all her achievements, I'll have a beer to celebrate whilst you wallow in self pity 👍🏻

Not sure there are too many out there other than Susan Whelan who fit that description. 7 1

BTW, it's been reported for years we have the lowest-paid top directors in the PL. More than you or I ever made, but no more than she has earned moving this club toward rarely precedented success, while helping keep it much more human and decent than anything else in the sea of greed which is the top half of the Premier League. 7

What about those teenagers who had been fundraising and all the other unsung heroes that do good in society. Presumably, if you were on the list you would have said, no thanks? 1
