    What level of a "blow" would those in the know say this is?
    It definitely sucks.

    Certainly a blow. Job now is to find a CEO of similar quality.

    Good luck Dane, I don't know much about you but as a Charlton fan I wish you great success, now as is tradition I would also like to be the first to say that its time to go Dane and we arent happy with what you have done during your time at Charlton. We will not be happy or content until someone with the surname Varney is running the club.
    Well what can i say Dane ? I wasn't a fan of this appointment and i think we all know why now, clearly I was ITK. I am often held up as a beacon of hope by fellow Addick's but the truth is I'm just a guy like the rest of you, just much better educated and ITK. Truthfully I wouldn't wish my gifts on anyone else, the burden of remarkable foresight is a gift but a curse. Much like Oppenheimer there is a price to be paid for seeing beyond the world we live in.

    When I want my future told I will go to you, no need for a crystal ball.

    I’ve been told that he was brought in for a very specific purpose rather than the usual ceo role - the person who told me unfortunately couldn’t remember what that purpose was - sounds implausible but it is true 
    Over seeing the replacement of door locks on toilet doors, strange as it may seem but evidently the problem has been an on going issue at Sparrows Lane for several seasons, as well as at The Valley.🤔

    We needed a little bit of a shambles somewhere just to remind us we are Charlton!

    Maybe the answer is a CEO not known and just a competent ‘executive/ director’ type from another industry? 

    Not sure we necessarily need a football person given the wider structure we have.

    You mean like a Katrien Meire type?

    No. More like a Varney type. 

    To my recollection Meire had no track record of substance elsewhere.

    Have heard from multiple sources that Brian Jokat is in advanced discussions for CEO role. Unfinished business

    They clearly wanted a "football" CEO when they hired Murphy though, rather than a business CEO like Varney or Waggott (or indeed Methven).

    So if it must be an experienced football’ person then as I said maybe not a known (high profile ) one?

    But equally I speculated maybe now they don’t need a football person after all. 

    PS Methvern was a ‘known’ name.

    One alternative would be to make Ed Warwick CEO.

    They could then bring in a finance director and operations director to work under him at the Valley. 

    Carter made a point of saying how well the current team have worked. 

    On the football side that is Chapple the scout, Rodwell the negotiator and Jones the coach. 

    Warwick the money man will have also been part of that at well. 

    So they may feel what they have now works.

    So do we need a CEO at all?

    Personally, I think organisationsneed a clear leader who sets standards and targets and also ensures the various different departments worked in harmony and towards the same goals.

    Carter, from what I see, is a leader with clear ideas but he's a non-executive director.

    And they would have appointed Murphy so they felt a few months back that someone else was needed.

    Maybe that has now changed but Murphy seemed more comfortable with the external, public facing part of the role which is important at football clubs and that may have been a factor it his selection.

    I could do it. I’m called Dave so they could just rub one of the small lines out of all the contracts. I do not have red pants but could wear some white ones in the sun for the photos 😎. I’m quarter Welsh, know Preston well and have no desire to be there… I’ll should probably get Ai to write me a better application.

    Waggott was in education then CACT. He famously said he was going to base himself at the training ground, although it wasn’t clear he was based anywhere. Not sure he knew much about “business”.

    In business, it is rare to find both a CEO and a managing director. You often find divisional MDs under a group CEO but not at main board level. Are we that big that we are splitting football into a division with separate catering, security, and buildings management divisions? This does not sound like a lean and fit management structure to me. If Rodwell only wants to manage the football side of things, give him a different title, but CAFC limited needs only one executive director in overall charge, one finance director and a non executive chairman to keep them both in line. Lean management needs to start at the top, not a bloated management with lean staffing at the stadium floor level.

    Ode to Dane.

    Memories of Dane
    It drove us insane
    The future looked bright
    You fitted just right
    We waited and waited
    Impatience unsated
    Rumours abounded
    Our worst fears were founded
    And so we move on
    The great Dane is gone.

    SJ July 2025.

    Presumably they couldn’t get him approved as for and proper. Doesn’t say great things about our due diligence in that case, but still, may be a bullet dodged….

    When in the chronicle of wasted time
    I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
    And beauty making beautiful old rhyme
    In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
    Then in the blazon of sweet beauty’s best,
    Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
    I see their antique pen would have expressed
    Even such a beauty as you master now.
    So all their praises are but prophecies
    Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
    And, for they looked but with divining eyes,
    They had not skill enough your worth to sing.
     For we, which now behold these present days,
     Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
    Forget which number sonnet but Bill played a blinder there 

    Sonnet 106.
