What is Parkes' actual role anyway? If he's the one that looks after the books, he's probably seen some anomalies, brought it up and is now suspended to try and keep him schtum?
I imagine it might be because Parkes is doing what the majority shareholder requests rather than the minority one, albeit his nominal line manager. If it turns out Chris Parkes has insisted in playing a straight bat through all of this, he may well be a bit of a hero.

hes the secretary isnt he? so he types the letters, makes the tea and flutters his eye lashes
I know his wife often comes in for a ton of stick on here, but as far as i'm aware Chris Parkes has only ever been a tremendously competent and loyal employee at Charlton and is Charlton through and through.

At the risk of a woosshh
He is the football secretary and deals with player registration, fixtures etc
Maybe Southall's just trying to keep the catering budget for the hospitality on a matchday down. Without Sue there they'll be able to dramatically reduce it.
If true Southall is a desperate man, I don't see Chris doing anything that he doesn't believe are in the best interests of the club.
Chris will have a strong case for wrongful dismissal but I expect it won't get that far. He will have the last laugh here as Southall exits stage left.
Not sure I understand exactly what Rick is saying there. Is Southall suggesting that Chris Parkes was at fault for the missing paperwork not being submitted, or is it that Parkes was going to the EFL on Nimer's behalf behind Southall's back?

Southall got the hump because Chris acted on "orders" from Nimer, thus going above his head, by the sounds of it

For once I'm interested in what Sue Parkes has to say on this.
It might be best she keeps quiet. It seems Chris has acted in the best interests of the club and I'm sure it won't be to his long term detriment. We will learn more of his involvement later i'm sure.
I got the impression that Southall was a billy big bollocks chancer from the outside looking in. It must come as no surprise that those inside the club would have developed a much clearer picture and Airman has already suggested that was the case.

This does Southall no favours whatsoever.

Hope he is ok financially though. Sure we can all help there if he's facing struggles.
What are you? The thread police?
