    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 .
    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 
    Where did I say that ? Jeeez I’ll fucking shut up in future . 
    You’re joking right? 
    About what ? Where did I say she was sacked ? Where did i say it had a dark meaning ? 
    You must suffer from the hard of reading .

    Ah right. So you weren’t inferring the two things are linked then yea? My mistake 😒

    You fooled everyone then apparently looking at the responses you got. Good one

    This is really sad as a Charlton fan. Hopefully a great move/opportunity for her.

    It can’t be understated how important it has been for a person who not only gets and loves the club as well as having a personal connection to be the one to help settle new players here.

    No single person has been consistently a beacon of hope in these dark times than Tracey. Always thought the club would be ok when there were people like her around protecting it. 

    She’s leaving an excellent legacy.

    Sounds like she’s been in the role for 10 years and wants a new challenge. 

    Someone else said it but it seems like she sometimes worked almost 24 hours because she was intrinsic to the club and all the player liaison processes.

    maybe time for a new challenge and new surroundings

    I don’t think it’s relevant, but I also don’t think it’s a ridiculous suggestion on the day a new director is appointed to wonder in passing if Tracy might have been told her role would change or something so not sure Beds deserves quite so much stick for a passing comment!

    Hope she keeps coming down as a fan with Carlo (to watch Miles but also just to support us!)

    All the best for your future @Tracey - you were an absolute diamond through some rough times in our history - and I’m sure the players will miss you as much as us fans will.

    Well we got our signings  done early so she could support them before she departs ! 

    Maybe she is just  looking to have a well deserved break and that is the next challenge referred to?

    Selfishly it's a big shame as it very visible Tracey is an asset to our club and does a pukka job. However I wish her the best of luck in her next chapter.

    He wasn't inferring anything, just hoping the two events were a coincidence. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Too many people trying to have a pop at a very innocent musing.

    Having said that - what if Linda Apter gets Tracey's job?!

    Now that would be one for the conspiracy theorists.

    It looked to me that it was a full on role and maybe she wanted to do something a bit quieter and enjoy watching her talented son.

    It's been a while since I've posted anything on CL and it's taken this for me to feel motivated do so.

    Tracey will be a hard act to follow.  She's always seemed to be the person in the background doing the hard graft with little recognition or reward.

    I'm sure she could write an extremely good memoir of her time at CAFC and I'm also sure there are lifers who would ghost write it with her.

    Thank you, and good luck with the future @Tracey

    Is it a coincidence that Miles just signed a new, and I assume, profitable new contract....

    Wow - this one’s brought me up short. As others have said, Tracey was one of those who kept the flame burning during some very dark times. All the best to her.
