English Football League CEO Shaun Harvey is set to stand down at the end of the 2018/19 season. Harvey has been involved in football for 25 consecutive years and took over as CEO in 2013. The announcement comes after a disappointing season which saw them finish 10th out of 12 teams with just one win from their first 11 games. But several Championship clubs were unhappy with the £ 595m ( $769m) domestic TV rights deal signed late last year, which they claim had been struck without their full consultation.
