"Having hidden the draw for the Carabao Cup in obscure time zones and formats, chief executive Shaun Harvey is repeating the formula with the Football League highlights.
These have been sold to a channel called Quest and so successful was their first broadcast that the League sent out an advisory on Thursday in the hope media organisations would inform their readers where to get it.
Those who could locate it — on my television it comes after a channel called ID+1 — were rewarded with a blackout, a distorted picture, a squashed picture and a studio set that looked as if it had been assembled with the profits from the worst-performing pie stall at Accrington Stanley.
There are some very big clubs in the Championship, and they surely deserve better. Indeed, it is just as well the League have unearthed a highly lucrative revenue stream, fining their own members millions for having ambition, or Harvey might be considered to have no clue at all."

Absolutely priceless.

Enjoyed that - he's a divisive writer and I certainly end up disagreeing with him as much as agreeing but this is spot on. Bit of a knock on the "very big clubs", mind. They all deserve a decent standard coverage being in the second tier, whether it's Leeds or Rotherham.
Do like Shaun Harvey taking a knock yet again. Not enough is made of the fact that this clown is in charge of something as important and divisive as FFP when he's a definitive failure when it comes to football finances.

Sent two clubs into administration, so the EFL rewards him with their plum job and in charge of fining clubs who try to better themselves, none of which have gone into administration themselves. You genuinely could not make this stuff up.
