Peter Varney leaves early

With all of the intrigue about who really owns Charlton Athletic, and what is going on with a potential sale or transfer of shares, while poking around I came across the news that Peter Varney's directorship was terminated as of Friday, 13 July.
We know that Peter's planned intention was to leave at the end of the month.
So why has he left, or been pushed out, three weeks early?

Very strange to find this news on a UK companies business website, and not from the club.
Can anyone shed any more light on this news?

    You're right.

    It does seem to have been done 2-3 weeks early.

    The question is, what is the significance in it ?

    Well he's staying on for a month and that proves there isn't any bad feeling of why he is leaving was previously used in denial of the earlier "rumours"
    It may just be paperwork to remove him from the neccessary list of directors and he may continue to finish his months notice before he walks off into the sunset happy that he has completed his mission to leave Charlton in safe hands

    Peter is a good man. He doesn't want to be associated with this shower!

    Some posters said that PV was seen sitting with TJ at Welling. Dammit, this doesn't fit at all well with my prejudices. But as he's left earlier than expected, but there's still room for manoeuvre.

    Does the companies house site have a forum?

    Could be a rival to CL if it does : - )

    Varney was in the 'directors area' at Welling yesterday with Keith Peacock. Jiminez was not there

    Rather than come on here every so often with a few words of doom and gloom - is there any danger you could put some substance to your information?

    Until then I'll regard you as a wum

    I have it from a good source, someone who is a friends friend of Roma that he is from another forum, not to sure who the friend of a friend source is though?

    Could it simply be that PV's position on the board was to represent the interests of 1 or 2 of the minority shareholders (maybe a couple from the previous regime) whose shares have now being acquired by TJ?

    Also, just because the club have formally reported the change in the make up of the Board of Directors does not necessarily mean PV has left yet. He just is no long registered as a director.

    Yup it's possible Red................... together with about a thousand other unknown reasons.

  • I saw this on companies house on Friday (he left all three CAFC companies including Baton) but didn't bother to post it as it didn't seem out of the ordinary to me. He's agreed to leave at the end of the month (and we don't know if that's calendar month, and we don't know if it was an agreement to stay "up till the end of the month or until the work has been handed over, whichever comes first") and also if all the small print regarding his departure has been agreed and signed then him being taken off at companies house now or in two weeks really makes no difference.

    Companies House isn't the place where the agreements are made, you make them within your company and then notify CH a.s.a.p. From a legal perspective it's the date on the contract/amendment you signed which is important, not when it was registered at CH. He could well have formally been signed off any company documents at the end of June, and it's taken two weeks for the club to register it with CH.

    In my opinion this is not of any significance whatsoever... however I have notifications turned on for all the Charlton related registered companies and will post any updates that provide new news as soon as I get them! :)
