Methven is the most involved, not involved person at a club in the country, just be honest.

How come Methven as a minority shareholder is in charge, calls the shots, and leaks stuff to the mugs?
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.19 -

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..4 - Sponsored links:

I opened this thread on page 62 and the first post I saw was a war and peace Grapevine classic, skipped right to the current page and the last few posts I see are Dubai stepping in support of his man Charlie - never change CL, never change6

I dunno.
P.S. Sorry about the predictive ‘Elton’ correction, my tablet mis-read ‘Bash Street School’.
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.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.2 -

An ongoing discussion about who told @DubaiCAFC what, and why, is hardly discussing who might be the new appointment. Dubai has shared what he has been told, some are happy that its been shared (the camp I'm in), others not so. Why on earth we have this fixation with Methven, the colour of his trousers, where he went to school etc etc is beyond me!
I'm interested in the here and now and which person will come in and stop this team sliding into League 2. The entire SMT have a collective responsibility to get this appointment right! If Scott, or Methven or anyone else, on the SMT, gets this decision wrong then 'collectively' they are all to blame, it's the same as if they get it right and we start heading upwards over the rest of this season and next, they can ALL take the credit. So is there any remote chance we can discuss potential new managers and less about who told who what and why? What the hell does it matter FFS?
I'm happy if people share what they've been told, heard etc. Its how Sky Sports News spends most of their broadcasting time! Believe me, life is too short to be discussing minutia of trousers etc!
For what its worth I'd be happy with Jones, Rowett or Duff (even Warnock as a 'Red Adaire' short term solution!)

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.10 -

Methven got the investors in to the club..
He has put together a consortium of people to run this club for the American owners.
As for whether he is doing a good or a bad job I shall judge him on how we as a club are performing.
As we are in real danger of being relegated I would say he and his mates are not doing very well.9 -

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.

Have only been in the company of CM once, at a bar in the city after work. Was a big group but I came along as I was with a guy who knows him through his connections in football and mainly Charlton. This was not too long after they had taken over the club. Came across as a bit of a clown if I’m honest, doesn’t surprise me one bit that he’s been leaking left right and centre. Seems just one big power trip for him.9
