Yeah Big Dave is now on the mic full time, he confirmed this to me on X. Sad to see Brian go, he’s a great guy and I enjoyed his banter during the cross bar challenge.Lincsaddick said:I hear that Brian Cole has also 'left his role' (or been replaced) .. are we getting TOOOO 'professional' ?2 -
Likely there were more than one and the players wanted their own one due to the relationship to Tracey . Bet she's had contact from lots of ex-players tooSouthLincsAddick said:I was a tad disappointed that no one from the SMT/other back room staff or NJ was in the official goodbye Tracey video.
No conspiracy from me just a missed opportunity to show us as a united, caring club. I’m sure Charlton are like this in the background, but it could’ve been a chance to show the fans how well Tracey is thought of by everyone at the club, not just the players.Just because the club has been well run recently doesn’t exempt them from any criticism, however minor this is.
I’m going to miss Tracey, a true Charlton legend. I wish her all the best in the future. See you in the stands Trace!5 -

Nothing to do with Jonesbolloxbolder said:So just to be clear.
@raytreacy69 said the reason why Abbott and Leaburn leaving was Jones.
@Bailey said someone in the know had refuted this. @SoundAsa£ asked where on CL that rumour was refuted. Seemingly no one can find it. I certainly have never seen it and I believe there would have been a lot of discussion about it.
@KBslittlesis said (I think) that she'd spoken to Tracey who was in bits about leaving. I read that to mean she was unhappy about her departure.
So until someone can direct @SoundAsa£ and myself to the post refuting Jones's involvement, I will go with the version of a long respected lifer.11 -
Sad fact is it’s happened and she has now left. We have to move on and let her move on and we need to let Miles concentrate on his football10

Agreed - wonder why he left but lets not start all that - i have no idea btw - hope he is wellRedRobin said:

I think you’ve negated your own point there.Peacock63 said:
The players did a presentation for her yesterday , but no Nathan , Rodwell which i think is appalling. Wish Tracey Leaburn all the best , Charlton LegendBalladMan said:She was by the tunnel and was coaxing the team to do the tunnel jump. Would have loved to see a proper goodbye to her (but did not hear one on the day). Maybe she is still around for Leicester game?1 -
Have you checked for reds under your bed lately?Peacock63 said:
Shame , Nathan and Rodwell and co , weren't there . And yes I know she was there for the players . But 10 years service by a Lady that clearly loved her job and Charlton ,you would have thought they would have been there out of respectSELR_addicks said:0 -

Unless they didn’t want to video it. Jesus, you are totally unbelievable.Peacock63 said:
But as said, Charlton like there videos which is great for us supporters , and as Tracey is extremely popular with Supporters if they had they would have video it and released it . It what a family/ community club would do , which is what makes Charlton a Great clubLargeAddick said:Peacock63 said:
What rumours am I peddling? Charlton love promoting their videos. From a clubs point of view i would have expected atleast Rodwell to do a presentation. For all the Amazing work Tracey has done for Charlton over the years . It's my point of view . If there's any Rumours going round I'm unaware of them . Just think Tracey deserved more . A great lady well respected by players and supportersRadostanradical said:
Get a grip, she will be truly missed but come on now. Just because NJ, Rodwell et al didnt say goodbye on a camera doesnt mean they havent spoke to her.Peacock63 said:

Not to downplay what tracey has done at all and she has done so much but the club has to move on and im sure it will survive, just like it would if anyone else were to leave.
Id also go as far to suggest its disrespectful to tracey to continue peddling unsubstantiated rumours, as its leads to people to discuss tittle tattle instead of talking about how great of a servant to the club she has been. From all evidence we can just see tracey has resigned for her own personal reasons, unless she actually says something to the contrary its best left at that and we celebrate an amazing ten years.
The presentation put out was the players showing their appreciation for Tracey. There appeared to be no other staff present. I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if there wasn't another presentation involving the rest of the staff. Not everything has to be shared with us.0 -

I've not seen her explanation on why she's leaving, could you provide a link.swordfish said:She's stood up to some loathsome characters at the club during her tenure without feeling the need to walk, and she's given her explanation, which should be accepted.
What those speculating that the truth hasn't come out are saying implies they don't believe her explanation. That's disrespectful to her without supporting evidence, not heresay, to the contrary. She deserves better IMO
I wish her well in her next venture.Reflecting on her departure, Leaburn said: "It has been an incredibly difficult decision to leave the club, but after 10 years, I feel the time is right for a new challenge."

Full page on Brian Cole stepping down in Saturday's programme.
Also a full page from a Tracey something, she's something to do with player care, or was as she's leaving.
And two pages about curing medieval diseases. Who writes this stuff?5 -

It was a player's presentation. Is that too hard to understand? BTW she was head of player care so the right thing for them to do.SouthLincsAddick said:I was a tad disappointed that no one from the SMT/other back room staff or NJ was in the official goodbye Tracey video.

I thought it showed a bit of gumption - not to mention sincerity - for the players to take the lead, rather than await a management directive.2
-
People often organise leaving do's and have a whip round for work colleagues without management/ board involvement don't they?6

I mean technically the players were her department of work, so it's not exactly unusual for a department to do something independently of the wider company if someone leaves.Raith_C_Chattonell said:I thought it showed a bit of gumption - not to mention sincerity - for the players to take the lead, rather than await a management directive.1 -
Completely agree but bet she's usually the one organising it!Chris_from_Sidcup said:
