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.Senior appointments in any industry take time. 3 months notice or longer often the norm and even then won’t always allow for a handover period. 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.4 -

So the consensus is he was kicked out. The plot thickens. Will be very interesting to see who Thomas replaces him with?0

Write a book in retirement Chris. Many events have happened throughout your long time with CA and much speculation has been given to them but often the full facts never qiute emerge.
I am sure it would make a facinating read for all dedicated Charlton fans and could be a "best seller". (the proceeds might also be helpful to provide some compensation after leaving without a pension).
I wish you a long and happy retirement (when it comes) and thank you for being an important stabilising element at the club throughout the many turbulent times that have concerned us all.2 -

I suspect Bowyer, Adkins & JJ when he goes could all spill the beans but the NDA will stifle them.0 -
On a day to day basis could somebody please provide a brief breakdown of what this role entails. And is it something that you would need to have done at another club to apply for?0

One absolute fundamental, which Chris never got wrong, is to make sure every player in all club teams is eligible to play. The rules and restrictions can be complex but at least we have never (from memory) been sanctioned for playing the wrong player or breaking Governing Body(s) rules.
The sensible thing it seems to me would be for the new club secretary to work alongside/shadowing Chris for a couple of months to learn the ropes.
The nightmare scenario would be if Cheese sandwich Cojones is reassigned to Chris’ role.1 -

So it was his choice or he may have been pushed or possibly a bit of both. That's all clear then.2

Always amuses me that people think x, y, or z could write a book about Charlton and it would be "a best seller". It's a very limited market.0 - Sponsored links:

His role included to my knowledge:
Registering players with the FA and league.
Reregistering all the players, every year including contracts at youth levels.
Travel and hotels for away trips for all teams.
Arrangements for pre-season trips and games.
Dealing with FA and league over fixture dates, changes, rules, refs, etc
Paying fines etc
Registering new directors
Attending league conferences.
All of which are a lot more complicated
Probably a lot more I've forgotten or just don't know about.

@Airman Brown
was there something to infer from your previous response as I had taken the club announcement at face value initially as a well deserved retirement.0 -
