The football league are to appiont a Chief Executive to run matters for the Nationwide League Division One , that means whoever is appionted will run commercial matters in that league.

Due to the ITV digital collapse the Football League have taken these measures to safeguard the future of football in this country.

24 representitives from each club in Division One have voted unanimously for a leading figure to be installed to help stop the widening gap between the top two divivisons.

"These changes mean that division one can be remarketed as the flagship of The Football League," said Ipswich Town chairman David Sheepshanks.

Sheepshanks added "I am certain that the appointment of a division one chief executive is a first and important step in the right direction."

"The gap between the Premiership and the first division is utterly unsustainable going forward,"

"It is in all Football League clubs' best interests to have a stronger division one." Sheepshanks also added.
