Methven at Wembley

I’m genuinely interested in people’s thoughts on him wearing an Oxford shirt at Wembley ? I’m sure most don’t care, but doesn’t quite sit right with me

Doesn’t bother me - he’s an Oxford supporter and he’s always openly shared that information93

Murray - Wolves fan
Lenagan - Oxford fan3 -
would be weird if he didn’t go29

I just wish he wasn’t anywhere near our club tbh.

So what if he’s an Oxford supporter. He loves football and now has the opportunity to be involved as part owner of an our football club. I’m sure he does what he thinks best when it comes to Charlton.4

Yellow top with purple trousers?
Hardly "de rigeur".2 -
I wonder if he will get involved with some rough and tumble with the Old Bill and end up on his arse, like one of our previous chairmen when supporting "his" club.3
-
It’s not weird he’s there. I get why some might feel it’s a bit odd that as a senior official at CAFC, in the same league as Oxford, he’s decided to go full kit.Unprofessional? Ah who cares.1

I would have the hump if he was wearing a Oxford shirt if we played them in the play off final, or any game against them.1

When Bonne starting liking Ipswich tweets etc there was anger from some Charlton fans. How is this different ?8

Methven supports Oxford.
Good for him supporting his team at Wembley.
He works for/has a small stake in Charlton.
Everyone should have the capability to understand.49 -
Well if I’m honest it bothers me a bit I suppose but can understand why it doesn’t bother others.Just makes me think how ‘nothing’ and insignificant our club has become. It feels like over the last 10 years the soul and identity has been steadily kicked out of it.In his situation I’d expert him to be there. I know he doesn’t support us and we are just an opportunity to make money. But I’d expect him to be somewhere in corporate dressed in neutral smart casual. I can’t think of too many club fanbases where the lead person at the club is at Wembley wearing the shirt of a team in the same league as them, cheering them on and there not being some form of backlash.That just doesn’t happen really (except for us). I think we’re just collectively tired of everything so it’s all just ‘meh’.34

Fair play for supporting his club,
but means we are a business to him so no real connection to us other than £££.1 -

it's one of the biggest days in the history of the club he supports, he absolutely should be there supporting in whatever way he wants
It's quite nice to know that we've got someone involved at the top of our club who understands supporting their local team17 -
The fact Oxford look like they’re going up and we were 16th bothers me more, but I agree with AFKA, we are so beige right now.9

Couldn't give a shit myself, he works for us, but i've never considered him a Charlton person.
I've lost count how many times i've seen former players and staff (having moved to a new club) pop up in the Charlton end.3 -
Bit weird. Especially that he's supporting a team in our League and will likely celebrate them going up when we're still sitting in League One.
He's also useless at his job, if he was good then I'm sure I'd give him a bit more allowance to be an idiot.
Different world but could you imagine the Chelsea owner turning up tomorrow to Man City, wearing a City shirt, to go and celebrate their title victory?5 -

Methven in his retro Oxford shirt doesn’t bother me. Hope he enjoys his day out.1 -
The only issue is how totally shit we have been since hie arrival and how totally and utterly useless he is for his punchy salary. Total charlatan.5

Pleased for Oxford, there manager is an Oxford fan, and seems quite a genuine guy.
Gutted Bolton are staying down, as they’ll probably take a top 6 space, next season.
As for CM, he was always going to be there, he’s a boyhood Oxford fan, I would be surprised if he didn’t go.4 -

so we had an owner who didn’t show for Wembley, now have a minority owner who watches another team. Only at charlton2 -

charlie is a minority owner.Big difference.1 -
On a positive, where did Oxford finish last season? I think they were in a relegation battle. Shows that what we want to achieve can be done4

I know this is unreasonable, but it annoys me a little. I think it’s that he’s there wearing the colours of a team who are (or, more accurately, were) in our league that makes it slightly worse.In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter, but I do agree that the club really feels in a bad place at the moment and we desperately need to get this transfer window spot on to start trying to turn things around.5
