Premier League say David Pemsel has resigned before starting his job as chief executive – The Sun
THE Premier League says David Pemsel has resigned before starting his job as chief executive following reports about his private life.
Pemsel was due to start the role in 2020.
He was appointed after broadcasting executive Susanna Dinnage accepted the CEOs role in November 2018 before rejecting it a month later.
The league says following media disclosures earlier this week and discussions with David Pemsel, the Premier League has today accepted David's resignation and he will no longer be joining as chief executive.
A statement from the Premier League read: “Following media disclosures earlier this week and discussions with David Pemsel, the Premier League has today accepted David's resignation and he will no longer be joining as Chief Executive.
“Richard Masters will continue as Interim Chief Executive.
“No further comment will be made at this stage.”
He was due to start at the role at the end of February after serving his notice at the Guardian Media Group.
