The linked 102 page document is a hard read but well worth it for anyone who wants to understand the different models used across the football world.
The most common is the association model but it comes in three versions:-
1. Management of the league by the national body.
2. Self management by the league but financially dependent of the national body.
3. Self management by the league and financially independent.
The other model is the separate entity model which isn't particularly common and comes in two versions:-
1. National body as a shareholder.
2. No shareholding by the national body.
The document discusses examples of these models and variations in some detail and the final paragraph of the conclusion states:-.
"Finally, when observing many situations in which the national associations do not entirely govern football at national level, we can note that the relationship between the national association and the league is a love-hate one. They need each other for some matters, but at the same neither one wants the other to be too involved in the governance of its own organisation. The balance is a delicate one indeed."
