    Southall has lost the plot. 
    I expect to turn on the tv later & see a live feed of his car being chased down the A2 by a posse of police cars ala OJ.........
    Honestly please self isolate. You are a dick of the highest order 
    eh? 
  • I hope organisation ahead of the trip to Hull on Saturday had already been sorted - Isnt that a small part of Parkes job e.g. arranging travel / accommodation / submitting paperwork
  • Is it possible Mr Parkes has Charlton's best interests at heart, and has put this above his own? If so, he has acted honourably and possibly to the detriment of his career. 
    Admittedly I am speaking without any specific knowledge, but to me Mr Southall's time as Chairman of CAFC would appear to be coming to the end.
    It is possible that he has lost the respect of those that work at Charlton, and, almost as important, the respect of many Charlton supporters.

    Think we should keep the jokes out of this thread. Whatever Your views our someone within the charlton family is facing losing their job. 

    What are you?  The thread police? 
    More of a traffic warden

    Chris would do only the very best for the club. Known him for years and trust him implicitely.

    What is Parkes' actual role anyway? If he's the one that looks after the books, he's probably seen some anomalies, brought it up and is now suspended to try and keep him schtum?
    hes the secretary isnt he? so he types the letters, makes the tea and flutters his eye lashes
    He runs the club's admin. Without him....who know what sort of mess we'd be in.

    Bet he's got a few bangers to tell about the situation

    Chris Parkes isn't the sort of person to do something without reason, if he contacted the EFL himself I'm sure he had very good reasons for doing so

    Big play this from Southall.
    Going to.war with a bloke that's been a loyal servant of the club for many years. Popular with fans and players alike. A sane person would have left this well alone

    How does he seriously think this is going to end?

    Twat.
    Big mistake on his part ... massive PR error if nothing else, as it will alienate most fans ... not that we were likely to be on his side now anyway lol

    For any doubters

    Why now has Chris Parkes only been suspended for doing something wrong, the bloke has been around for so long he'll have endless contacts and knowledge of processes etc.

    You dont stay in a job for so long if your so incompetent

    Almost certainly wasn't doing anything wrong. He was probably doing his job as club Secretary, just wasn't working as Matt Southall's secretary.

    Pretty Sure Lee Bowyer won't be too pleased about this either, he hold Chris Parkes in very high regard and i can't imagine this has gone down well. The Mouthall ship is well and truly sinking.

    What a vile creature Southall is, Parkes has more dignity in his little finger

    I met Chris Parkes last year on the Upbeats walk and he was kind enough to spare me time for a proper chat on the walk.

    He leaves you in no doubt whatsoever Charlton runs through his veins. He was extremely proud of only ever missing a handful of matches throughout his entire career and was able to name every single occasion the opposition and year.

    There's no way Chris would ever act without the club's best interests at heart. 

    Southall is a disgrace. All the early goodwill he made with us has gone completely and irreparable.

    "Pending investigation" who the fuck does Southall think he is

    Is that a euphemism for kangaroo court?
  • Well Southall is right

    Definitely a decision we're not going to like!
  • Glad to see Southall confirming that no jobs would be at threat

    Meanwhile cahones celebrates there’s someone at the club less popular than him!
    He's been acting Billy big bollocks and all. Walking round like he owns the place. Probably trying to fit in with Southalls mates. Probably calls himself 'Vice vice chairman'.

    This saga just gets more and more distasteful. 

    Feel very sorry for Parkes.

    Not sure I understand exactly what Rick is saying there. Is Southall suggesting that Chris Parkes was at fault for the missing paperwork not being submitted, or is it that Parkes was going to the EFL on Nimer's behalf behind Southall's back?
    My bet would be the second option.
    Second option, disguised as the first.
