EFL fans' survey on club ownership
Much has been made over the past year of the extreme differences in fortunes between clubs in the Football League. With that in mind, we - Daily Mail journalists Sam Morshead and Tom Farmery - have set out to gain a comprehensive view of fans’ feelings at the way their club, other clubs and the EFL in general is being run.
We hope that you can spend two minutes of your time completing your respective club’s survey, enabling us to get data which we can then put to key figures in the EFL and government about the state of the game in this country.
If you have further thoughts and opinions on any of the topics mentioned, please also feel free to email sam.morshead@mailonline.co.uk or tom.farmery@mailonline.co.uk
Thank you for your time

Done, but it would be more interesting if you had a box to fill in the team you support as it would be interesting to see what supporters of teams not at war with their owners think.1

Done. I have no doubt that Charlton will rank equal bottom on your survey alongside Blackpool and Coventry with Blackburn and Leeds possibly marginally above us.
As for the rest, most would, I imagine, be fair to middling in terms of results. I'd imagine the best results will come from the likes of AFC Wimbledon, Portsmouth and Fleetwood, where the clubs are on the up (or in Pompey's case at least stabilised) whilst being led by people that understand what a football club means to its supporters and community.
We, on the other hand, are owned by a Belgian megolomaniac who appears to be conducting a bizarre socio-economic experiment on us.
It's a shame you wont have a comparison survey from around 12 years ago - we would have come top....3 -
I filled it out you didn't expect me to read it did you? OK ignore my comment then.Algarveaddick said:It said at the top Charlton supporters survey cfgs.

As said easiest survey ever.
The question is, what can be done to encourage The Football League to change their attitude and rules ?
In order to prevent owners using football league clubs for their own selfish means, at the expense of football clubs and their fans.
It was quite clear from his previous/current clubs, that Roland Duchatelet was going to dismantle Charlton as a football club for his own selfish ends.3 - Sponsored links:

Done, I wouldn't wish our current owner and his totally unfit for purpose CEO who has spectacularly failed on all fronts, on any other football club.
Trouble is Duchatelet was already wreaking his havoc at other European clubs before he was deemed 'fit and proper' to ruin Charlton Afhletic!
Those in charge of our national sport need to have a good look at themselves because they have a lot to answer for.5 -

The EFL don't but, realistically, can't do much to control who owns the clubs. The truth is that most clubs are looking for someone, anyone, that will bank roll them and 'invest' millions of pounds of their own money into the club.
In most cases the club has so much debt that the only criteria is that the new owner has money, or pretends to. In reality beggars can't be choosers. It's ok having a survey asking if the fans are happy with the owners and if the EFL do enough to protect the clubs but all the while they have huge debts and running deficits the EFL's hands are tied.1 -

That was easy, either "No" or "0"1

Well it's about time the FA/EFL took a different view other than 'money talks'. Furthermore several clubs have gone into administration and risen from the ashes, Palarse, Southampton and Leicester to name but a few.kings hill addick said:The EFL don't but, realistically, can't do much to control who owns the clubs.

Done.
Think it safe to say Douchbag and Daisy aren't going to take much satisfaction from the results of this survey.2 -

If should have asked "have you ever worked for the club" If yes, we can not count your votes, Charlton would get a great rating as we are all just bitter ex employees.2

I totally disagree, of course The EFL can and should control who owns the clubs.kings hill addick said:The EFL don't but, realistically, can't do much to control who owns the clubs.
