It says it's for personal reasons... Wonder what they mean by that? New job/club to go to maybe? Or just had enough? Maybe thinks there's just too many Varneys at the club?
I only really spoke to him once. My Dad has worked closely with him for years & speaks extremely highly of him. Will be hugely missed, just hope the replacement knows what he/she is in for. Massively difficult job & a thankless one at that.
So when are you telling everyone about your promotion then Suzi :-)
Very disappointed. I would put him equal to and possibly above Murray and Curbishley as someone who has moved this club forward so far so fast. it will be a hard act to follow, I'm sure.
Not only a very competent Chief Exec but also had time for the fans, twice I contacted him over matters that I thought to be unfair and both times he replied and righted the wrongs.
I wont be bitter if he turns up at West ham tells everyone how lucky he is that Charlton gave him his first job in footie management and he owes them everything !!
I've also received personal correspondance from PV in the past. Back in 2003 when there was a big off over kit changeover, a generic email was sent out having a massive pop at the fans for posting so much criticism on the mailing list. I thought it was a bit out of order and responded, after which he took the time to apologise for such a strong worded email and its generic nature.
Top man, done a huge amount for the club, will be sorely missed.

We've got a new owner or sponsor and Peter Varney doesn't agree with it.
where do i send my CV??
Lets thank him for all his tremendous hard work. Anything that comes out will be in the future or when its deemed necessary to release it.
"Theres only one Peter Varney" on saturday please guys.
More transitions to look forward to... let's hope we're able to find some stability and a platform from which to move forward.
Conspiracy no. 2: Is Suz being promoted? ;-)
On a personal note I e mailed him on a matter in a match programme and he replied personally and also rectified the matter in the following programme.
You can't ask a lot more than that.
So when are you telling everyone about your promotion then Suzi :-)
Good luck in whatever you do - I'm sure we'll see you back at The Valley.
Top guy and a credit to Charlton .
Good luck to him in whatever he does.
