David Moyes's fixture conspiracy rejected by Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore And then all of a sudden, what seems like two months on, yesterday we were all at a launch event and he suddenly ran the line again and you've seen it run big on the back pages of the papers today. David is a clever man and, just like his predecessor, they don't usually waste a word. There's absolutely nothing [that] goes on. If you go back over the last six years, it's happened twice in the last six years where a team has had that sort of start. And look at the promoted clubs, some of them also have a crazy start. There is just a complexity to this fixture list where just to get it all in, to meet the competing demands in the Sky contract, the BT contract, in the international football calendar, policing a pairing when teams are in the same city that can't be home on the same day, the complexities that go into the calendar, you know the police don't want Notting Hill Carnival weekend with this, you've got the Grand National weekend and the Great North Run. There's a million things that go on and it's a complex operation and I thought I'd assured him two months ago that this was all fair and above board and he chose to raise it again yesterday.
