I wouldn't be surprised if AL maybe genuinely considers him as above the level of coach that many saw as inevitable. Not saying he's right or wrong, I've no idea, but.....

He would've loaned the club millions of his own money! If indeed it runs to the millions at all [the last set of accounts published in 2017, said the club lost £472k]...... not to mention that, it is he who's responsible for much of the outgoings - £11k a week for Queensy, employment tribunal after employment tribunal! I'm no fan of Shaun Harvey either but, how is all that his fault? If, eg, 20 of the 48 League One and Two clubs got together and agreed to stop paying daft wages would the two league tables look massively different come May 2020 than if we all continued on the current path?

Worcester Owl Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If BoJo gets in and takes us out of the EU without a deal on 31 Oct, will Laurent need a work permit on 1 Nov? Just asking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we mustn't necessarily associate losses on the P&L with a football club being in bad health. If an owner is prepared to fund a running loss then it shouldn't be seen as a worry, unless they do a Chris Moore, but many clubs have owners funding a loss and have been doing for many years.

I'd say selling the CheckaTrade for 100k per club certainly is his fault. Allowing all these rogue owners is his fault. Lack of Governance is his fault. Lack of tightening up lies with him.

Just asking! If/when we leave the EU (deal or no deal) freedom of movement is likely to end. AL's major recruitment strategy then goes completely out of the window as none of the foreign players (or managers) he is likely to attract will be of sufficient calibre for our Home Office to grant them work permits. And he didn't even mention Brexit as a threat in his plan, not that I'm surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not all his fault.... but he was head of the organisation that runs the league and should be providing tighter regulation on ownership and governance. To be claiming he’s done a good job when so many clubs find themselves in such a parlous state is laughable.... and that’s what Kieran Maguire is rightly ridiculing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really matter if they were worse or not, he is being judged on his record and responsibilities. And has been found wanting in a number of areas in addition to the debt. I thought his predeccesor was Scudamore, but I'd forgotton about Keith Harris minus Orville. Harris was responsible for the ITV Digital fiasco, maybe you'd argue that wasn't his fault either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Harvey, "Consistently during my time, I have always looked to push boundaries to make the maximum positive impact for Clubs, whether this be from a financial perspective or by generating value in another way. I have always held the view that the strength of the EFL, is its Clubs and no Club, or indeed individual, is bigger or more important than the collective or the EFL itself." 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." FA chief executive Martin Glenn, added: "On behalf of the FA, I would like to thank Shaun for his leadership of the EFL and his collaborative support over the years. "The EFL and its clubs play a crucial role in English football and its popularity has flourished during his tenure. Shaun's redesign of the Checkatrade Trophy has been a valuable tool for giving game time to young English talent from our academy system." Hence Kieran going after him.....

When he does arrive and takes a look at the training facilities and wonders what he has done. Then gets told by someone that come January, they are practically unusable and the pitch is so uneven that passing the ball is a lottery, he may well turn around and go back to wherever he lives without even talking to the players.
