    Desperate and unwise move by Southall to suspend a valued, long- term employee

    In terms of the errors Southall has made, this is probably one of his biggest. If he wanted a sure fire way of the fans turning against him, this would do it.

    Seconded - a word my father in law uses a lot - and also used by those legends ‘Chas and Dave’

    Chris Parkes is a top man, whose integrity and commitment to Charlton are beyond question.

    He's seen a number of cowsons come and go during his long tenure at the club and I expect one to two more will be exiting in short order. 
    Jordan Cowsons?

    I live in Yorkshire so if the boys want somewhere to stay my house is free on Saturday night. 

    Phillips can have the sofa, there's a bed for anyone that scores and anyone who averages a 7+ in the player marks gets a blow up bed and a blanket. 

    It's a tent in the garden for anyone else. There's a couple of right scummers round the corner who seem to fight every weekend. Southall can stay there. 

    On a serious note, let's hope Parkes returns to work as soon as possible. Fantastic servant to this football club and far as I know didn't gift himself a Range Rover after 5 minutes either. 
    Oztumer can have the cot!

    My dad used it a lot when he got upset.

    We used to tell Mr Duchatelet that he had bought the wrong club. Mr Southall, you have chosen the wrong person to vilify in Mr Parkes. If a club legend such as Chris Powell chooses to call Chris Parkes a legend, then you must quickly realise that you have made a monumental error of judgement.
    You do not appreciate that the Charlton family will close ranks over your actions and this is a battle you will not win.

    It shouldn't even be a battle. Nimer will sack Southall shortly and Parkes will be back at work. My only surprise is that it hasn't happened yet!

    Chris Parkes was on the pitch with Keith Peacock and the Turner family at the last home game because of Les Turner’s passing - he is a much ‘Charlton’ as Keith Peacock - Southall get out of our club - Charlton is more than just a football team you scumbag

    Chris acted in the best interests of the club - that much is clear.

    i Believe the players are not happy with his treatment. This is how highly regarded he is at the club.

    this seems to be a one man crusade to cover his arse and blame others for his own failings. I hope he pays the price and we get back on track

    I have known Chris Parkes by reputation for many years and heard only good things.

    Attended a Bromley supporters Meeting where he was guest speaker, he came across as gun barrel straight with a massive love for our club.

    So hope he can resume his duties very soon.

    As an aside,  he defended Duchatelet saying  he never  failed to pay the bills/fund the club.

    Just spoke to Chris on the phone. He's in good spirits, though it has been very stressful. It's no surprise that he has a lot of other support from within the club. Things are moving on rapidly as you would expect. He is hugely grateful for the support from us fans on social media, and he hopes to be back sooner rather than later. 
    If he feels up to it I would like to see Chris back by 2pm today.

    agreed, Dad would be very upset to see what is happening to his good mate, pretty sure Chris will be back though - Charlton through and through

    Chris Parkes probably on a modest salary for being the backbone of Charlton Athletic vrs Southall and Co. and the money they're stealing for themselves.....

    If the Club are obliged to keep the Range Rovers and the Flat for the next few months, Chris Parkes should have the use of them. But being the modest person he seems to be, he wouldn't take the offer

    100% with this.

    No amount of PR, spin and bullshit will clear this one up.

    I've never met or spoken to Chris Parkes but I've obviously heard of the work he's done as Club Secretary over the last 30 years.

    The fact that Saint Christopher and Lord Bowyer, amongst others, hold him in such high regard, esteem, and respect, tells me all I need to know about him as a Charlton fixture and a man.

    Southall has just shot our Bambi.

    Is he fit to play in midfield on Saturday ?

    From the OS:

    Following serious allegations made against him, Chris Parkes was suspended from his role of Club Secretary pending an investigation.

    The club has now carried out a full investigation of the available evidence and is satisfied there was no wrong-doing on the part of Mr Parkes.

    The Board are happy to confirm Mr Parkes will resume his duties from Thursday, March 12th.

    Well they rowed back on that ill-advised move PDQ then!
