Peter Varney has demanded Katrien Meire retracts her comments regarding his takeover bid and a move away from the Valley.
Meire claimed this morning that a buy-out from Varney’s investors would lead to Charlton leaving their SE7 base.
However, former Addicks chief executive Varney says this is “completely untrue” and has urged Meire to publish a retraction in the next 48 hours.
He told News Shopper: “It is totally untrue and completely fabricated.
“I have been in dialogue with Roland Duchatelet directly.
“My position is that they should issue a retraction because it is totally untrue. I am quite happy to publish the evidence of the proposal to prove that.
“I am giving them 48 hours to publish a retraction.”
Even if it was 100% true (which it isn't) but even if what she said was completely accurate and Varney had a secret plan that the new investors would move the club away from the valley.
Roland/Katrien...I still wouldn't care. If it meant that you, KM and RM left and we got Varney in. I'd be sad about leaving the valley but I'd leave tomorrow.
F*ck off Katrien you stupid bitch.
What you have said is complete bollocks and the utter dis-respect (whether true or not) is shameful and insanely unprofessional.
Katrien opens her mouth, and a lie comes out. Just like night follows day. This time though she has potentially made a slanderous claim. If I was Varney, I would be review my options. And I mean legal options.
If only Katrien had someone on her team with a law background to advise her about making slanderous claims. Oh, hang on....
But Varney is only representing them. If Varney went down the slander road he'd have to reveal his buyer and their intentions. Doubt they want that.
I am not a legal expert but I am not sure you are correct. If KM has not met the buyer she is accusing PV of saying something he is denying. Whom he was speaking on behalf of is irrelevant, its what came out of his mouth, or more to the point what didn't.
Meire, speaking at the press conference to unveil Russell Slade as their new manager, was asked if this was one final attempt by the Belgian tycoon to make the club a success before calling it quits and selling up.
But she replied: “As we said in the past the club is not for sale".
And that should have been that.
Nothing to add.
Act like a grown up and a competent CEO.
"I would say to her to provide any evidence to support the statement she has made to the media." PV
Rick Everitt @airmanbrown 55s55 seconds ago Varney has given Meire 48 hours to publicly retract claim or he will publish email exchanges with RD/KM re #cafc takeover from a month ago
I would quite like to see these. Publish them anyway, Peter.

i'd prefer not to if there is a retraction to be honest with you, the emails from a month ago would probably go into detail about selling the club and may jeopordise a potential sale of the club as well as having info roland would definitely not wont leaked.

Oops. Me thinks she's royally fucked up opening her unprofessional and incompetent gob (again). Gonna be an interesting few days.
Unlikely, but maybe even RD will think this was stupid of her.
This could be the end for her if she has to retract that statement.
She's screwed either way...
She either retracts her comment which makes her out to be the clear liar at last or she can stick by her comment in which case she has to deal with Peter Varney and his Legal team, seeing he's got the backing of Kuwaiti's these days am sure he has the money to hire the best

Now Charlton are in League One we've got a woman who cant stop lying who has no respect.
She really has bitten off more than she can chew here, she's got after the wrong person!!
Its farcical.
