| Shaun Harvey to leave role as CEO of EFL 10:41 - Feb 18 with 7710 views | richranger |
Shaun Harvey will leave his role as chief executive of the English Football League at the end of the season.
Harvey, 48, took over as CEO in 2013 and has been involved in football for 25 consecutive years.
Harvey said he was proud of what he has achieved "in what have not always been easy circumstances".
"I am happy to remain as CEO until after the play-offs, to conclude a number of outstanding matters that we are currently dealing with," he added.
"The time is right for the EFL to move in a different direction having concluded a number of commercial contracts that leave the League in a stable position."
Debbie Jevans, interim chair of the EFL said: "The EFL would like to thank Shaun for all he has delivered. The EFL is in a strong position with a growing fan base throughout the world and Shaun deserves a lot of credit for this." |  | | |  |

Sounds good in principle
Unfortunately when the big teams go, the money goes with them. Then we are truly financially screwed. |
Clubs would just adjust. Rather than spunking a fortune on Internationals from all over the world and clubs the size of Fulham and Bournemouth being able to outbid most of the continent's biggest clubs, all that presumably would then happen would be a massive deflation in wages and clubs signing more domestic players on more sensible salaries.
If the biggest four or five clubs fu cked-off, there are plenty of big clubs left behind to ensure it was still a major domestic league. I think it would be great for English football. I might feel differently if I was an Evertonian and due to miss the derby, but against that, clubs like Everton would have a chance of winning the league again, so that would probably compensate. |  |

I hope you are right. The way football and the modern world is heading, I don't think you are. | |

Whoever takes over, I suspect within 10 years we'll have Premier League 2, and regionalised divisions below that (maybe semi-pro). |
Nearly all the clubs in The National League (Conference) are full time, plus at least one below that level.
Going part time in the EFL isn't going to happen.
It would help the club's finances though if they had the courage to do so! | | | |

How about a Richard Scudamore style whipround for dear old Shauny after all the good work he has done for the EFL?
Thruppence halfpenny a club should buy a decent present from Poundland. |  | | |
