    Really gutted about this .
    The club really feels like it's on an upward trajectory. This feels like a big step back.

    Cheers and good luck Tracey.
  • Gutted to read this but that's possibly a bit selfish if she has made the decision for the right reasons, which I'm sure she has.

    Tracey you're a gem of a person and we will miss you.

    It feels the same as if we had just sold Miles to Millwall. She is irreplaceable and will be sorely missed. Good luck in whatever you do  next, Tracey. You are a legend!

    In the words of Daryl and John. 
    Say it isn’t so.

    Tracey you are a true legend and will be missed terribly. Thank you for all you have done for the club and its supporters. I wish you success and happiness in whatever you do going forward

    What a servant to the club she has been. Not least when she bravely stepped forward to save our club in its darkest days. 

    You’ll be sorely missed Tracey. Charlton royalty

    I'd like to think that Tracey believes that the club is in good hands and she can move on with no concerns or loose ends left behind, good luck Tracey, we've had some poor performances on the pitch and behind the scenes but you always played a blinder.

    This is a shock and the timing is a bit surprising, just as we start building for next season. I just hope that it is truly something Tracey felt she wanted to do and that there are nothing but good feelings on everyone's part. I echo all the positive sentiments recorded on here - she is an absolute Charlton legend.

    I imagine she's taken a job, where it's very much a job rather than a 24/7 cause. It must have been exhausting the amount of commitment she gave to her role with us.

    I dont think LIAR is appropriate....
  • Wow, this is a biggie.

    Can't put a proper thank you into words, or I'll be here all day. But we'll all be thinking the same thing. Thank you, Tracey!

    What a loss!

    Small leaving suddenly feels insignificant. (no disrespect to Small, in fact I was/am gutted he left)

    Tracey is one of the reasons the club is unique, and it feels like our club.

    Geniunely good luck to the club finding the multiple people needed to replace her.

    I hope the departure is on good terms all round, anything else would not be right.

    Wherever she ends up next is extremely lucky.

    Not good news . 
    Alice Larkworthy announced as the club’s new Commercial Director in the morning and Tracey says she leaving in the afternoon. 
    Hopefully just coincidence .

    What was noticeable was when ex players returned with other clubs, she was the first person they headed for. Very sad to see her going. She was at the heart of everything outside the playing side that we did.

    10 years. 
    She deserves a testimonial match in her honour. 
    I’m sure there are lots of current and old players who would want to support her.

    It’s means it’s strange timing . No inside information just an observation.

    It isn’t . As I said - probably coincidence 
  • Tracey in her own way has had a massive impact on the club as much as any top profile personality we’ve had at the club, whether that be a Manager, player ,  Director or owner. 
    She’ll be a tough act to follow & I’m sure will be sadly missed I’m sure. Hopefully whatever she’s moving onto gives her happiness & fulfilment & is something she wants to do & not something she is thinking she has to do for reasons not yet clear  !

    You think the new commercial director’s first act was to fire a club stalwart and legend with no explanation as to why? 

    Not everything has a dark meaning. Sometimes things just happen

    I don’t suppose the role will ever be the same again. 

    In the turmoil we’ve all experienced over the last decade Tracey been perhaps the golden thread that has kept the sometime shit show together

    Many of us hold dear the way our club as been always rooted with the communities that follow , and the way we nurture and cherish the young men and women who represent us. 

    No one has better encapsulated those values as you ,  and as such you will deeply missed
