Looking at that bye bye note from George, the first four words, "Where do I start", said it all for me... About a month ago or more George, maybe that would have helped, it's a bit late wouldn't you think to come out with that now mate...🤷♂️ All that being said, still wish him well for all he did while at Charlton...
Maybe the delay was that he wanted to thank all the managers he’s worked under at Charlton and then realised a few weeks had passed while he was still making the list!
Better late than never, but I fear he's just discovered ChatGPT.
This was the ChatGPT entry I got after putting a few parameters in:
As I bid farewell after three incredible years with this amazing club, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude and cherished memories. From the moment I first stepped onto the pitch, you embraced me as one of your own, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
I'll never forget the away game at Old Trafford, where we stood tall against one of the giants of football. The atmosphere, the energy, and the unwavering support from you, our loyal fans, made it an unforgettable experience. And who could forget the mad game against Ipswich? The highs, the lows, and the sheer determination of our team showcased the true spirit of CAFC.
But what truly stands out in my heart is the incredible reception I received from all of you during my last two games. Your cheers, your chants, and your unwavering support meant the world to me. It was a reminder of how special this club is and how fortunate I have been to be a part of it.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the fans, the staff, and my teammates. Your dedication, hard work, and passion are what make this club extraordinary. To the fans, thank you for standing by us through thick and thin, for your unwavering loyalty, and for making every game a memorable experience.
Though I may be moving on, CAFC will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish the club and all of you nothing but success and happiness in the future. Thank you for everything.
Maybe he just though he'd get us out the way with that template of a letter before this -
People go on about football fans being fickle, which they are, but reckon footballers come quite a close 2nd.

You wanted George to say:
"I struggled with my first two weeks as I'm still homesick for Essex and it will take my family time to settle in a foreign country where we don't know the language. I'm sure you appreciate that I'm Charlton until I die but I will give 110% for Wrexham as they will now be paying my wages. The ex Charlton boys here told me we get paid in dollars because of the two owners: Morgan Freeman and Samel L Jackson. I thought Jacko was brilliant in the Shawshank reduction. I wish I hadn't bought that Dale Stephens SATNAV as it sent me via Southampton. I'm here now and look forward to this challenge in the Championship."

Sounds a bit like clichéd lip service to me.
Good luck anyway, George, and all the best going forward

Easily passes the "if you saw him in a pub in 10 years time, would you buy him a drink?" test.
