FA thumbs down to Harvey's plans.

Victory for the vocal minority?

About time Harvey and his cronies started listening to the fans.

What's really sad is that the thumbs down from the FA was based on the financials from a TV deal, not the actual abomination of a proposal itself.

Seems to me Harvey is far too occupied with trying to win favours with the FA by trying (trying, but failing badly) to do their job for them in providing something for the national side, at the expense of his paymasters in the Football League.

With his solution or whatever it's called in the pan and having completely killed off the Football League Trophy, isn't it about time that either Harvey fell on his sword or a mass vote of no confidence is tabled?

Harvey is still trying to blag his way out of it.  Wish I could do those linky thingys.
He is totally blaming the FA for not listening.  He still thinks it's a good idea, he isn't concerned that we would have less league matches (thus less income).  He is actually trying to say he is looking after us by trying to cut down those long journeys to away matches.  He is still bleating on about it being for the good of the National team.

Don't know if you are reading this Messr's Fenty, Flemming and Mullen.  But please please please do not give this man any more chances to f@@k us about even more.

That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

According to that article, it's nothing to do with fans why they have dropped the proposal, it's to do with the TV slots not being available. It would be nice to think fan power tipped the balance, but I think it's largely wishful thinking.

This is excellent news, but Harvey has been boxed off by the FA, not because of clubs and fans giving it the thumbs down.

He should resign and take his henchmen with him, or a resolution be put to the next Management Meeting to dismiss the culprits.
