English Football League: Clubs 'reliant on owners', says EFL chief

Football needs "to look at how it treats the owners at some of its clubs", says departing EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey.

The one thing that is true, is that most lower league clubs rely on the owner for their day to day survival. As fans, we want bigger squads, better players, longer contracts, higher wages etc but bulk at the idea of increased ticket prices.

When we have fans saying we need to get rid of Tiger etc, the danger is that no one else steps in. Tiger and co. may not be perfect, and bills may be late, but they are paid and without him we could quickly crash and burn.

Criticism is fine, and often justified. But we have to be careful not to bite the hand that feeds us.
