What will Peter Varney be thinking now.....?
And, by the way, I would be offering Airman his choice of role, COO, Marketing Director, Chief Rabble Rouser, whatever.

He has received the ammunition he needed to show his backers we want change.Davo55 said:Because, if I was him, I would be chuffed to bits that thousands of Charlton fans are excited by the idea of me taking over, chanting my name at protests. I would also be pulling out all the stops to eyeball RD directly, bypassing the puppet muppet completely.

What's the quickest way for a football chairman to become a millionaire?
Be a billionaire4 -
Probably be thinking that next time he writes an email to the club they won't be such a smug bunch of arseholes... Only to probably be disappointed...

I like the sound of Chairman Airman.

I thought it had been made quite clear Varney has no intention of returning to Charlton?3

Perhaps he would just broker the deal..Stu_of_Kunming said:I thought it had been made quite clear Varney has no intention of returning to Charlton?

I'm sure I read in one of Airman's posts exactly that, although if I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.EveshamAddick said:

That's the last time I leave Rick Everitt alone in my office with my PC logged in ,whilst I go and make him a latte!

I thought he made the approach on behalf of potential investors and that Airman confirmed that this was a takeover. I can't see Sheik Yararse being CEO so why not Reg. I thought he said he "had good reason not to set foot in the Valley" or similar, but that might change if he was running the whole shebang.Stu_of_Kunming said:I thought it had been made quite clear Varney has no intention of returning to Charlton?
I'm hoping PV will be encouraged by yesterday's events and the passion of Charlton fans to give it another go, @Airman Brown might have a view on the likelihood of that?6 -
As I say, I could be wrong, but I'm sure I remember Airman saying PV had no intention of returning, he currently works for Ebbsfleet, they are a team with super money.3

I reckon he's thinking about sticking a tenner on Kane for first goal scorer in the Everton/Spurs game.6

Id have stuck it on Lennon myself1

Move forward not bloody backwards ..... getting sick and tired of the old guard wanting back in they did not stop the last lot from starting the rot that is sweeping thru the club at the moment4

He has made his move and now he has lit the blue touch paper he needs to wait for the firework to explode.4

I popped into the cafe next to Stonebridge road this morning (used to be the Plough pub). Varney was chatting to some nerdy looking yank called Bill. I overheard him saying to "get the deal done at all costs in the next week" as he needs the transfer window and he loves windows.
No idea who it was though...........15 -

I think he would be thinking that when he is trying to broker a deal he should never allow confidential exchanges to get out as it could hinder any chance of doing a deal in the future.0

Let's be fair, this was a calculated risk by Varney and he knew full well what he was doing.. and I applaud him for that, even if it was incredibly risky. He got a reaction too with the SLP article shortly afterwards saying Roland wasn't going to sell the club anytime soon, and he also managed to pour a lot of petrol on the fans anger at the current owners. If it wasn't for PV, and Rick's extremely well timed release of those emails, then I don't think we'd be seeing quite as much anger as we currently are.masicat said:I think he would be thinking that when he is trying to broker a deal he should never allow confidential exchanges to get out as it could hinder any chance of doing a deal in the future.
Roland wasn't going to talk him, neither was Katrien as CEO - he had nothing to lose with this specific deal so went for the nuclear option. If anyone questions his trustworthiness in the future he can always try and talk his way out of it - "I thought the fans deserved to know, and I have a close emotional bond with that club due to my time and service there. As you may have noticed in the press - the fans are being treated appallingly and the club is being ruined, I felt maybe I could help bring a positive change about."11 -
Red, for one I doubt whether Varney would be holding his meetings in a cafe in Stonebridge and secondly, he is talking about a very rich American called 'Bill' who likes 'Windows'.Redmidland said:

Does that ring any bells?
If not I think you can take it from me that it's a tune up. ;-)

Are you saying Airman Chairman & Reg made it up to give the protest more oomph?LuckyReds said:
