LONDON -- Luis Suarez damaged the reputation of English football with his serial offending and his departure to the Spanish league is not being mourned, the head of the Premier League said on Wednesday. Frank Viola Jersey . "Hes done his time here ... I cant say Im sorry to see him go," was the frank assessment of Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the worlds most lucrative league, about one of the best players to have played in Englands top division. Liverpool sold Suarez to Barcelona for $130 million in July, soon after the player was given a four-month worldwide ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup. The Uruguay international previously served two long suspensions for the same offence, once in the Premier League after biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in April 2013, and was banned in 2011 for racially abusing Manchester Uniteds Patrice Evra during a league match. "Hes a great player and Im not taking anything away from his talents -- he was voted by both his own players and the media last year the player of the year and deservedly so," Scudamore said of the Premier Leagues top scorer last season. "Hes great to have but an accident waiting to happen, and if you spend your time trying to promote whats good about the Premier League, youre always waiting for the next thing to come along." Scudamore said the latest biting incident involving Suarez, which happened during Uruguays World Cup group game against Italy, "clearly . reflected on Liverpool as one of our great clubs. And it reflected on us (the Premier League)." Suarezs departure to La Liga, however, leaves English football without its best player from last season. The same happened the previous summer, when Gareth Bale joined Real Madrid from Tottenham for a world-record fee of 100 million euros (then $132 million). In Bale, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and now Suarez, and new Madrid signings James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos, Spain undoubtedly has most of the worlds best players in its league. But Scudamore says the competitiveness of the Premier League as a whole makes it stand out globally. "That to me is more important in many ways, that the matches are competitive," said Scudamore, speaking at the Premier Leagues season launch. "Weve got enough stars, and we dont need absolutely every world megastar name to make this a successful league. "There are more teams being talked about as able to win our title than youll ever hear discussed in Spain. That makes us more interesting around the world. We have a much bigger global appeal than they do currently." Tom Brunansky Jersey . During the furious first few hours of free agency Tuesday, the team agreed to terms with strong safety Donte Whitner, a Cleveland native who cant wait to play in his hometown. Jake Cave Jersey .

A league source told TSN that the voting will begin just after 2pm et and the results will be released around 4pm et. "I think at this point, after everything that has happened, the commissioner and the league just want to get back to football," said the source. "Its time to focus on football. Ask me about football." It was unclear which way the players were leaning prior to Thursdays vote. After the league and CFLPA struck a tentative deal on Saturday, many players publicly voiced their displeasure over the terms. Byron Buxton Jersey. Members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders spoke of their frustrations on Friday, including veterans Darian Durant, Brendon LaBatte and Ricky Foley. According to News Talk 980 in Regina, the trio are calling for change at the top of the Players Association; Foley calling for the unions executives to resign. The five-year deal calls for a $5 million salary cap which was below the PAs opening proposal of more than $6 million per year. The Players Association also wanted the agreement to be renegotiable after the third year if league revenues increased by more than $18 million, but settled for the leagues figure of $27 million.
