    I never listened to it and my take is that Methven is a prick.
    good to approach everything with an open mind.
  • 'Building stability'? Oh great, we're stabilised in the middle of League One. Stabilised at our nadir.  I'd be more impressed if he built buoyancy. 
  • Yet to listen to this podcast but I just finished this one from a few months ago. He speaks with knowledge and is open to admit mistakes. I really don't understand the hate that he gets for his past. Yes we need success but success in the business of football comes on and off the pitch. We're quick to forget the crook of shit we've had previously before Methven and his crew took over just mere days before the start of last season. TS, Paul Elliot, Chris Farnell, Range Rovers & Bitches and of course Roland.

    Listening to it now, very insightful.

    I'm not a massive Methven basher (oo err) but  – have you watched the Sunderland documentary? What do you think of the way he spoke to his staff?

    This is semi touched on in the podcast. 

    Also, would argue that the "need for an interesting narrative and decent villain" by the editing team means certain things were possibly taken out of context/played up.

    That's also why we don't sell salmon chinos in the club shop; they were made out to be evil!!

    I did and it was many years ago. But people change and he also has his own views of which he talks about staff at Sunderland compared to at Charlton in the YouTube video linked. Also we can't paint the whole picture of him just through a documentary of which will be edited to paint him in a certain light. They will edit stuff for things to be discussed and talking points to get more views. So no I won't judge him purely on a documentary from way before he came involved with Charlton and will judge from what happens at our club and how our staff now will talk about him. Of which I haven't seen much if any of a backlash from staff about his behaviour yet compared to TS, Range Rovers and Bitches and Roland.

    I'm not sure editing could play much role in the part where he's on the pitch shouting at Sophie Ashcroft. 
  • I watched this a month or more ago.
