    Fully agree with NLA, if he's a friend of both CP and TJ, and the relationships prove to be both sustainable and healthy, then this could be a big positive. But I also share AFKA's reservations. Where's the money going to come from, what is he being paid to do and who is actually going to be running CAFC?

    A chairmanship role doesn't have to just mean investment but we currently have lost a good CEO if he can lead and cover that that's a good starter for 10

    Well that's what we've had for the last two years isn't it, a chairman with no 'real' financial investment ?

    They've been trying for months apparently for someone to take the Chairman role. If it is a case of just being a figurehead, then Elliott may well be fine. Not sure i buy into the idea that he will be someone else's who is new to the table's front man.

    If he is being brought in to do the job as 'executive chairman', then i'll have a doubt that he may be getting out of his depth.

    I've just emailed Paul to wish him all the best if it is true - hope its still an active account.

    Fingers crossed I get something positive back

    The big question is....








    ...do we resurrect the old Takeover thread or begin a new one?

    I was thinking exactly this and he did a great job during his time there as the front man of their owner (Ellis I think?). Lets hope Elliott can have the same impact.

    Nothing against Elliott being chairman - Stanley Gliksten's ghost would be better than Slater IMO - but I understand this is currently a sticking point: "Elliott is yet to complete financial terms with Charlton."

    Can't imagine he would expect to be paid that much for the role would he?

    Yes.
    I read it as how much was he prepared to put into the club before we'd let him become Chairman.

    Does this mean Mr Slater spun a story to deflect the truth a couple of weeks back - I do not believe it!

    Something is obviously cooking behind the scenes, Elliot is fronting for someone as he is not an executive by any stretch, he is there as a figurehead.

    As Large says, the question is really who is Elliot fronting for and why?

    No knowledge but I think he is fronting TJ.

    I for one, DON'T expect this will happen.

    I think there is smoke - but no fire.

    I could be wrong, but we will see.

    What's your source for that?

    Agree with AFKA's pros and cons but will be delighted if PE is Chair.

    Don't see this as anything to do with new money as you take over and then appoint.

    Hope so, as I think it's a positive. Waiting with interest to see if it will be a non-executive role (figure-head, TJ and CP mediator) or executive (wonder if he has the skills and how involved he will be in appointing the new senior team - see other thread).

    I think TJ is slowly gaining more and more control and PE is a decent choice as front of house so that Tony can stay anonymous. I do however see this move as a positive one. I like Elliot and I think h will be very good for us.
