Today is a sad one for all football fans, as the head of the #EFL. With that in mind I thought I’d set up the Shaun Harvey Appreciation Thread, or #SHAT for short, so fans can log their memories & thanks for all he’s done for the teams they support.
Bolton fans will give a 👏to Shaun for allowing Ken Anderson & Dean Holdsworth to pass the fit & proper test to take over their club. Apart from administration, a 12 point penalty, food banks for staff, loans at 24% interest, paying KA £525k as a consultant it’s been great #SHAT
Bury fans will high five Shaun for giving the 👍to Steve Dale to buy the club in Dec 2018 & stop paying players by... err...February 2019. The club now faces a winding up order on June 19th. Gives fans something to focus on whilst waiting for the fixtures to be announced #SHAT
Blackpool fans love Shaun for allowing a convicted rapist, Owen Oyston, to continue to be an owner & director of the club & that it took the High Court appointed receiver to remove him from the board. The Oyston family also paid themselves £11 million in dividends #SHAT
Shaun arrived at the EFL after spells at Bradford City (1994-2004) and Leeds United (2004-2013). Bradford City were in administration in 2002 & 2004 and Leeds United in administration in 2004 & 2007 #SHAT
Orient fans were delighted that Shaun & Co allowed Francesco Becchetti to take over their club in 2014 when on the brink of promotion to the Championship. Nine managers later they were in the Conference, Francesco ‘advised’ on team selection too & kicked the assistant mgr #SHAT
Some people are being a bit mean about Shaun & saying that because EFL clubs lost £388 million in 2017/18 he was a bit bobbins. But not everyone lost money, just look at the highest paid director at the EFL since he took over. #SHAT
Thanks to Shaun's help Coventry City fans, bored by watching their team play every home game at the Ricoh, got to see the delights of Northampton Town centre once a fortnight & next season it could be Birmingham as the hedge fund that owns them squabbled with the landlord #SHAT
Richard Scudamore at the EPL is being given a £5 million thank you from clubs for turning the Premier League into the most profitable and watched league in the world. Come on EFL fans, let's set up a GoFundMe page for Shaun, perhaps together we could buy him a meat platter? #SHAT
Thanks to Shaun's leadership, this season has seen fans being able to play "Unpaid wages bingo" at the EFL. You pick six teams and when they don't pay you could win a big prize. Does anyone have Bury, Oldham, Morecambe, Reading, Bolton & Macc? If so shout 'House' #SHAT
Insomniacs are grateful for Shaun for the Carabou Cup, giving them something to do at 4am in the morning when the draw for the next round takes place #SHAT
Shaun also presided over FFP rules that brought work to accountants as they found loopholes. Sell stadium to yourself ✅. Pay a players mum £700k as an academy scout as doesn't count towards FFP ✅(can't name the player or mother for legal reasons, but his dad's name is Paul Ince
Great to see Shaun Harvey Appreciation Thread trending on Twitter. I knew he was held in high regards by fans of EFL clubs and this proves it. #SHAT
EFL net profit/(losses) per division as Shaun Harvey leaves with the game in great health. Championship £316 million overall loss League One £63 million overall loss League Two £8 million overall loss. #SHAT
Before joining EFL Shaun was found guilty of harassment of a former director via the #LUFC in house radio station & along with cuddly Ken Bates Leeds spent over £1m on libel cases. He was chosen to be @EFL CEO because...? theguardian.com/football/2013/… #SHAT
Total net losses of Championship clubs since Shaun Harvey was appointed CEO of @EFL are £1,177,278,000, (£4.5 million a week to you @AndyhHolt that/s before the losses for 2018/19 are added, so anyone who says the Championship isn't a billion pound game is telling porkies #SHAT
