    Methven wanted Holden and Appleton. He should be nowhere near any managerial appointment. 
    Holden yes. Appleton no
    Sorry mate but you're wrong here. He wanted Appleton I assure you. He may be saying otherwise now to save face but trust me he wanted him. They all did. 
    100% not. It was Scott. Methven was Moore. But after interviews they all agreed on Appleton 
    So he did want him then?! 
    Not originally no. But after interviews and after 2nd interview yes
    But that’s on Scott’s call who interviews
  • If nothing else it rules out Moore this time around. If he was close last time and was rejected, I can’t see him wanting or risking more of the same.

    He was/is an Appleton fan and told me so. Described him to me as a "class act" and believed he'd be a success here based on his time at Lincoln/oxford. Didn't sound like someone that opposed his appointment. He may be saying that now but I'd strongly dispute that. 
    Says it all,Charlie thought Appleton is a "class act", everyone I know was "ffs,not him "

    ...So he didn't want him until he did want him. That's how wanting things works.

    How boring ,uninspired ,dull,absolutely useless must Moore be,if Appleton got the gig!!!!
    The conclusion can only be that Less is Moore.

    Maybe so, but was Scott choice. Scott put the short list together same as this time around. Methven wanted Moore added, but didn’t get it.

    I want to ask a question about Methven that doesn’t reference red trousers, Netflix programmes, Elton, Oxford United, and Theology degrees.

    How come Methven as a minority shareholder is in charge, calls the shots, and leaks stuff to the mugs?
    Point proven.. 
    No, point not proven.

    That's one poster, who most on here recognise and have called him out on as being irrational and obsessive about irrelevant parts of Methven's life.

    He is not representative of most people on here criticising Methven, who are doing so for other, valid, reasons.

    You are trying to dismiss all criticism of Methven as being just because of his background etc but that just isn't true and you are hiding behind that so you don't have to address the valid points being made about how he operates.
    So what actually has Methven done wrong?? Apart from leaks to people who feed information?

    From what I understand, he bought Rodwell & Lenagan to the party, Rodwell recommended Scott. Scott runs the footballing side where we are being let down

    Methven got the investors in to the club..

    He's not in charge. But that is exactly WHY he is (allegedly ;)) behind all the leaks. He doesn't have the direct authority to call all the shots so he plants a few stories to get his way instead.
    Who is actually in charge?

    I dunno.

    P.S. Sorry about the predictive ‘Elton’ correction, my tablet mis-read ‘Bash Street School’.
    No-one seems to know, which is sort of the problem it seems. Of course having one person doing everything is not automatically the answer either (as shown by that one person potentially being Meire or Sandgaard).

    Unfortunately our current leadership seem to have had a plan for how to buy a club, and to make a nice profit when selling it later, but turned out to be a bit rubbish at the bit in-between those two points, e.g. actually running a club.
    Ultimate control is with the owners who share value adds up to over 50%, if they decide to influence that control they have the power to replace the British board of directors and or the senior management team if different. There’s nothing unusual or exceptional that I can see in the Charlton set up. 

    I have been an owner and worked alongside a senior management team who were employed to reorganise our company, in my case it wasn’t a great success or experience. The biggest mistake we made was employing consultants to advise us of the structure (that part was ok) and composition of the senior management team, they suggested a time span of 2 years and also the people who in there opinion had the skill set to undertake the required reshaping (both myself and my partners where engineers and certainly couldn’t have undertaken this). After 2 years of the 5 senior management employed (all corporate types with no knowledge of working in a private company) only 1 survived, the other 4 where tossers of the first order and where quickly removed, one even was a blabbermouth and loved to play politics which caused a lot of aggro. My staff rightly blamed myself and my partner for the mess that eventually took 4 years from the start of the reorganisation until us owners and the staff were satisfied, they were probably correct. 

    The moral of this story, is double the amount of time for the reorganisation, expect not to get the correct senior management team in place initially and expect it to change out of all recognition between the start of restructuring and the completion. Oh and expect head aches, aggravation and loads of additional, unexpected costs and to realise that specialist consultants are good at talking and that about it, oh other than they get paid by the word and not by results.

    Easy to say once it’s gone wrong that Appleton was someone else’s choice.

    I've already said what I feel are the issues but you dismissed those, and all criticism, as being based on purely personal dislike of him.

    And this above is just one example of what Methven is doing wrong.  No collective or individual responsibility for what is going wrong, no discretion, no confidentiality.

    His leaking that MA had been sacked on the Sunday after the Burton defeat was not only incredibly indiscreet, unprofessional and damaging to the club and team it wasn't even correct.
    Funny thing is, the leak wasn’t from Methven it verified, by him.. come from some else..

    As you responded to me earlier,you've never ever spoken to Methven have you?

    Find the Dubai questioning a bit weird, like he has to defend his views of the people who are telling him info.  The only reason this thread is worth visiting is for the tidbits of info being leaked.  

    I've been on this site for years and there has been various people who are clearly ITK to some extent at various times, leaks are always there.  

    Big fan of your username.
