I hope he's not working as a shadow director, or in an ad hoc, agency or consultancy basis while awaiting the ODT. It would be typical for Charlton to receive ODT approval for the new CEO and then immediately face sanctions because he's been working prior to the approval coming through.
Well his Linked-in profile says he is an independant consultant...so probably (at the moment) freelance. If he is doing some consultancy for the club working for himself I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem as long as he isn't signing stuff as CEO.
That's strictly forbidden and would land the club in a whole heap of trouble.
We can't have it both ways... asked for more checks when we had Southall. It is what it is and he is probably running the show om a "consultancy" basis
"The appointment is subject to the completion of the EFL Owners and Directors’ Test and the appropriate documentation."
Been 7 weeks since the initial announcement. Hmm.
The problem arose allegedly when he turned up to the EFL interview in somebody elses Range Rover, and started handing out bottles of Tizer and Walkers multipacks...
there’s a post from a Vitesse ‘fan account’ on Twitter yesterday afternoon saying his shares have been sold to their majority shareholder. Hopefully that’s the issue sorted. This the post, though in Dutch.
So from what I can decipher and I'm sure other people know a lot more than I do about these things
Vitesse had a previous American owner that the Dutch FA had issues with , then this group with Murphy appears in Feb? but their takeover hasn't been ratified as of yet because the Dutch FA want proof that it's not a shadow consortium for the previous bidder to continue running things behind the scenes and have threatened to revoke Vitesses licence to play at unless they satisfy this?
Apologies for calling Murphy a "Great Dane" when he may just be a poodle. I had been giving him praise for being part of this resurrection of Charlton's fortune when he wasn't even in the building 🤷🏼♂️
Should we hold fire here. Hasn’t the suggestion that he’s not joining come purely from the no noise from the club along with this “sensitive announcement “ by the club which tragically has nothing to do with Murphy. Have I missed something?

Yes mostly, but also seems a bit odd that it would take over 7 weeks to be fully ratified.
However, perhaps the process is lengthy and that's why it's taken as long as it has.

I would think that the links with other clubs and ownership wrinkles means that this specific appointment takes a bit longer than usual, simply because there are more boxes to be ticked and checks to be made than is normal.

Is this going to happen ? or not.

On the look out for a new CEO.
