    It says it's for personal reasons... Wonder what they mean by that? New job/club to go to maybe? Or just had enough? Maybe thinks there's just too many Varneys at the club?

    First conspiracy theory of the day...

    We've got a new owner or sponsor and Peter Varney doesn't agree with it.

    Lets leave off the "personal reasons" or conspiracys for now eh?

    Lets thank him for all his tremendous hard work. Anything that comes out will be in the future or when its deemed necessary to release it.

    "Theres only one Peter Varney" on saturday please guys.

    Very sorry to hear this. Certainly, as I—an outsider—understand it, one of the pillars of the club's renaissance.

    More transitions to look forward to... let's hope we're able to find some stability and a platform from which to move forward.

    Conspiracy no. 2: Is Suz being promoted? ;-)

    He presided over a lot of change and expansion in Turnover and profile of the Club and in my opinion did a terrific job.

    On a personal note I e mailed him on a matter in a match programme and he replied personally and also rectified the matter in the following programme.

    You can't ask a lot more than that.

    I only really spoke to him once. My Dad has worked closely with him for years & speaks extremely highly of him. Will be hugely missed, just hope the replacement knows what he/she is in for. Massively difficult job & a thankless one at that.

    So when are you telling everyone about your promotion then Suzi :-)

    Very disappointed. I would put him equal to and possibly above Murray and Curbishley as someone who has moved this club forward so far so fast. it will be a hard act to follow, I'm sure.

    I remember him from way back when we were at Selhurst Park and when he used to come to the' Hayes & West Wickham Supporters Group' meetings .

    Top guy and a credit to Charlton .

    Good luck to him in whatever he does.

    "and will look back with pride on some of the achievements made"

    And so you should!

    I'm we should all be saying thank you to someone who has done so much for our club and who is, at the end of the day one of us, a fan.

    Thanks Peter, it's people like you that make Charlton the best team in the world.

    Not only a very competent Chief Exec but also had time for the fans, twice I contacted him over matters that I thought to be unfair and both times he replied and righted the wrongs.

    Thank you Reg and good luck to you and yours.

    I've also received personal correspondance from PV in the past. Back in 2003 when there was a big off over kit changeover, a generic email was sent out having a massive pop at the fans for posting so much criticism on the mailing list. I thought it was a bit out of order and responded, after which he took the time to apologise for such a strong worded email and its generic nature.

    Top man, done a huge amount for the club, will be sorely missed.
