There's nothing to say that if you step down from the board you have to sell your shares, the same way as you can own loads of shares and not be invited onto the borad (a la Arsenal).
Elected ones aside, how many directors have left the Charlton board in the last 20 years? Not many.
John Fryer died, Jimmy Hill quit and Bill Strong had no role after the move to Selhurst Park, but all these were in the 1980s. John Sunley was a bit of mystery, but other than that there has been extraordinary stability.

What was that story about Roy King and the pies? Any truth in it?

What, you mean like a proper fan to act as a conduit between the masses and the board?
Now that's a good idea. Maybe we could have a vote?

How many Directors do we have now for both PLC and Football Club?
Maybe I'll tell him about Charlton Life so he can post on here occasionally.
Was he an early version of Henry but unelected or (no offence Henry!) was he a "proper" director?
If memory serves me right he used to run the Charlton Development Association back in the 60s and maybe the supporters club too.
Good luck for the future Greg
Hopefully there's nothing sinister in it and it was just time to move on - good luck Mr B
