    It looks like Varney is handling this correctly, in a calm but serious manner.

    The irony of our CEO being a lawyer is delicious though.

    Eventually liars always get found out, why is she still here?

    Last season she had to go to Dubai to escape the rigours of a football club, this year she can go to court instead.

    What's all this about the Safety Advisory Group meetings being disclosed? Why would the FOIA apply to Charlton? Or were they obtained via a disclosure from the Met Police?
    Has anyone seen them?

    Agreed. It's not that hard to spell Merde.

    Name is spelt incorrectly on purpose so it continues to show in Google results...

    Three different spellings in one article, that is poor. In keeping with the subject matter though to be fair.

    Well, not knowing who is on the Safety Advisory Group, I wouldn't want to speculate, but...

    It is unlikely that CAFC is a public authority, within the meaning of the Act, and, so, I'd assume that any information would have been provided by an organisation that is a public authority. I'd even be surprised if they were covered by EIR (which has a wider remit).

    The Met and the Council (if they are in attendance) would be public authorities, and so subject to the Act; provided that they "held" the information - which, if they were provided with, or created their own, minutes of the meeting they would.

    As FOI is disclosure to the public, there is no reason why (if you knew who had provided the information) you should not be provided with a copy if you now asked.

    Ok so who is going to be the first to mention Colin in a post?

    Well done Mr Varney. Will be interesting to see how this pans out. All because Meire is too arrogant to make a simple retraction after again putting her foot in her mouth.

    She can't be all bad surely ? Didn't our two latest signings thank her for all of her hard work :-)

    Did anyone get any comments about her from those just leaving ?

    Varney must have very strong legal advice if he is going ahead

    The safety committee is formally convened and chaired by Greenwich Council, which is the licensing authority, something we once had to explain to Roger Alwen. The club attends and indeed hosts it, but it does not control it, as that would be nonsense. It is there to hold the club to account.

    For that reason it is subject to FOI, although parts of the notes could be redacted by the police for operational reasons.

    Different magnitude of course but same scenario.

    Meire has refused to apologise on the OS (as requested by CAS Trust) for saying to a newspaper in Belgium that she didn't care about the history of the club. Now she will have to explain to her former University why they are seeking the revocation of her prestigious 2016 award presented in March at a special ceremony at Leuven in Belgium for her achievements as CEO at Charlton.

    is this correct? they are revoking the award? How embarrassing and congrats to you for pushing it.

    Will Varney do a Jordan and serve her the court papers at an embarrassing moment? Say first home game or at a signing press conference, it would be funny but I doubt it as the man has too much class.

    I think, although I stand to be corrected, that it is the Trust that is seeking the revocation.

    You mean like when Katrien made Colin Powell redundant but addressed the papers to Chris Powell.

    But the pitch is lovely.
  • Legal action will be a waste of everyone's time because no matter how you read what she said, she actually never said Peter Varneys bid included a move away from the Valley. She actually said the words 'but a proposal LIKE that included'

    I'm just saying and I'm sure Peters lawyers will advise him so should be interesting.

    Exactly this.

    Having said that all they had to do was ask me - as far as I'm aware the minutes aren't P&C and I've never been told that they are not to be published.

    Indeed the minutes from last weeks SAG meeting should be out tomorrow.

    It's just a shame that the CEO and the COO do not feel this meeting is important enough for them to personally attend

    that's correct, we are backing @Coyotejohn1947 , who is a Trust member

    Peter is acting on the advice of his lawyers.
