i vouch for him - in all the years we were in the same primary school class together, he never once put his shoes on the wrong way round (after his mum had sewn left and right inside them!!!)0

Top bloke, who was caught between a daft spat on here and defending his family. Thankfully that last incident, that earned him the sack briefly, showed exactly how much he loved the club. Happy retirement Chris.2

Chris in my experience is a top fella, always helpful and whatever people think looked after the club beyond the call of duty imo.
Let's have it right look at the circus and all round tosspots he has had to put up with over the years, rather him than me.
Wish him well in his retirement.

Top bloke and a true gent plus Charlton to his core. Had the pleasure of meeting Chris and doing business with him when my company had a contract at the Valley and it was a pleasure. Enjoy your retirement Chris.1

Doesn't seem well planned.
Unless they promote in-house they may need to wait one or even three months while the replacement works their notice.
Would have made sense to keep Chris to the end of the season so there was a handover anyway.10 -

But given the general malaise that seems to be settling over the club in general it does feel like there seems to be more of these small but unnecessary blunders going on. No single one thing is particularly bad, but a lot of them all happening in close succession doesn't fill the heart with confidence.
I could be (probably I am) reaching a lot here but this just feels like another case of good intentions but poor execution by Sandgaard and his staff.5 -

Ridiculously HR on-boarding of a new employee can take several weeks or up to a month post a job offer. This can be bettered but often isn’t.I had inferred it wasn’t planned in as much as CP imitated it. As a small club we don’t have succession plans I assume for all roles out of practicality and of course due to recent neglect under RD and before.To have negotiated a bit longer to handover : support is the right outcome.I might guess CP wants to be fully clear by the end of the season and disappear on holidays etc. at the latest so the new incumbent also has a clean slate for next season.3 -
