Susanna Dinnage: Incoming Premier League chief executive withdraws from role
The Premier League has been forced to go back to the drawing board in its search for a new chief executive after Susanna Dinnage’s shock decision to withdraw from the role.The TV executive was confirmed as the outgoing Richard Scudamore’s successor in mid-November, with the plan that she would take up her new position early in 2019.2

Dinnage has abruptly withdrawn from the role

But a Premier League statement on Sunday evening read: “Despite her commitment to the Premier League in early November, Susanna Dinnage has now advised the nominations committee that she will not be taking up the position of chief executive.”Dinnage joined TV giant Discovery in 2009, with her most recent role as global president of its Animal Planet brand.Her only previous involvement in sport was when she ran Discovery’s British and Irish operation, which included responsibility for Eurosport.2

Scudamore has run the Premier League since 1999

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, Burnley chairman Mike Garlick and Leicester chief executive Susan Whelan led the recruitment process, with Buck describing Dinnage as “the outstanding choice” from a “very strong field” of candidates.Scudamore has run English football’s top flight since 1999, but announced his intention to step down as its executive chairman earlier this year. The Premier League has interim measures in place, but must now find a new candidate and added in its statement: “The committee has reconvened its search and is talking to candidates. There will be no further comment until an appointment is made.”The organisation is also looking for a non-executive chairman, with Scudamore’s role having been split.
