I think he's talking about being the spox, CM is a PR person after all.RonnieMoore said:
He not .. and won’t beSDAddick said:
For a guy with a small stake who was kept out of the limelight during the latter half of negotiations, Charlie Methven sure does seem to be front and center these days...Croydon said:
he got the group together and he says himself he will not be involved in day to day running that’s down Rodwell like we already knew .1 -
Eh?DOUCHER said:
Let’s be honest,Seth and Golfie r Craig revel halwood and Roy Keane - airman is Simon Cowell and he was willing to concede he may be pleasantly surprised - never seen a statement so positive from himAndyG said:
@seth your post is the most surprising post I have ever read on here ! I would have put a lot of money on you not agreeing with a single word he said fair play mate.seth plum said:I listened to that interview and for the most part I can't argue with it, he may have been prone to exaggeration and a rather smooth talker, but nothing jumped out at me as objectionable.
For me the main thing that he repeatedly said (the stadium issue notwithstanding) is essentially the proof of the pudding is in success as a football team, and I agree with that.
So for me we must do everything possible to win against Leyton Orient, and continue to acquire a lot of wins and points from there. Mr Methven and I would agree that would be a compelling measure of success.
Make it happen.
all I need is @golfie to spring up and say that the signing of the Blackburn lad is brilliant and we are now set for a great season and my world is complete0 -
I have absolutely zero problem with that, as long as the people they employ to run the day to day are experienced in their field and good at their job.ButtleJR said:We will likely have very little communication directly from the new owners/investors. They aren't going to be the ones to contact about the pie selection at the valley. They are hands off and have their own personal businesses/investments to manage. As above they will appointing a shadow board to deal with comms etc and you may see them at the valley but that's as far as it will go...
Does anyone think that Sheikh Mansour gets involved day to day with City? The guys been to 2 games in 15 years. He pays competent people to run the club for him.14 -
I see TS removed from Charlton website but no new owners added, still trying to figure what to put 😁0

GFP, which made the acquisition via its UK subsidiary SE7 Partners, is made up of seven shareholders with 5%+ each (detailed below). Those shareholders sit on GFP’s Board of Directors, along with Finance Director Ed Warrick and Technical Adviser Simon Lenagan. GFP also has a small number of shareholders whose holdings are less than 5% each.
GFP shareholders with 5%+ each: Gabriel Brener and family, Joshua Friedman and family , Warren Rosenfeld and family, ACA Football Partners, Munir Javeri, Marc Boyan, Charlie Methven

So do you have the personal email address of Sainsbury's Managing Director?Fanny Fanackapan said:
Maybe THIS time, we'll be able to see a comprehensive list of SM names with email addresses on the OS should we need to contact them or members of their teams directly rather than be moved on like Pass the Parcel.ross1 said:I think Steve Sutherland will have to get his finger out as the Charlton web site still has TS as owner, although I wonder what he will change it to 😁
McDonald's Group Finance Director?
Director of Performance for England cricket?
What about Dean Holden's mobile number to discuss tactics?
As stated above, don't think Man City fans have Sheik Mansours email address. They definitely don't care that he is essentially 'hands off' and let's the actual staff run things on his behalf. We've been crying out for years for people with football experience to be involved, as soon as they do that people are moaning.
So what if Methven has got people in who he knows and had worked with? He is part of the lot that brought Holden in, do you not want him as manager because 'he is tarred with the Methven brush'?
Holden says he is happy working with Rodwell/Scott etc and the improvement in the fortunes and professionalism of the club during the January where they oversaw things and basically ran the club because Tommy couldn't be bothered can not be denied.
This fatuation with going over all the personal minutiae of everyone involved in this takeover is rediculous - are you sending people out to rummage through people's bins or bugging offices for smoking guns and any dirt you can find on any of them? So what if Friedman once got a parking ticket... Even known 'Charlton people' like Sutherland and Carter being involved isn't good enough for some people.
The new lot don't get a free pass, but they do get the chance to try to do some good for the club and improve us without the lit torches and pitchforks needing breaking out.

And you might also want to check the definition of SME. Charlton Athletic is an SME, with an emphasis on the S at this time. Sainsburys and McDonalds are not.
I agree that not all members of the SMT should have their email addresses invitingly posted on the website, but some definitely should. A good "customer-facing" company presents as being as open and communicative as possible.5 -
Oh come on mate if you were one of these people would you put a direct line of communication out in public ? football is an emotive business and you cant please all the people all the time. The club sign a player and then you get deludged with emails telling you why you shouldnt have bought him or who you should have bought. One of TS's biggest mistakes imo was entering into discussions with random fans in the 1st placePragueAddick said:

Nowhere have I mentioned having direct contact details for the owner/s but I've clearly rattled your cage.
If our owners were Tom, Dick & Harry or the afore mentioned Sheik Mansour, it wouldn't matter in the slightest....I'd have zero interest in making contact with them. It's the SENIOR MANAGERS and the positions they occupy that have been difficult to even name , let alone contact by email with minimal- no make that NO information under the "Staff" link on the OS since TS took over the reins. This is what I was referring to in my post but you seem intent on making me sound like an imbecile for some reason.
I can only assume that you have never sought to interact with a certain member of staff at our club, wanted to sponsor a player's shirt for a season, to request a mention in the VR for a birthday or maybe to ask how to purchase a one off parking space....and then to be connected to someone who has no idea what you're talking about, so tries another extension for you and so on until you give up.
I am in no way "fatuated" with going over all the personal minutiae of everyone involved in this takeover. You must be thinking of A N Other Lifer.
TBH, that is so obviously " rediculous" that I'll leave it there....
...as I'm off to tidy away my torch & pitchfork before tonight's match.

experienced People appointed in senior management roles, top quality signings and a manager who comes across as a top bloke and seems to know what he’s doing. Don’t want to get too excited, but this does look the making of something brilliant16
