varney hasn't got any 'proper dough'(enough to be massively involved in buying a debt ridden football club) he was just a negotiator trying to bring parties together .... whether he was getting paid for his work , who knows , but now he's on the books legally so no great shakes there .......all of this is imo (and for the record i'm usually right;-)
[cite]Posted By: nigel w[/cite]Popcorn moment - I like that...
Murray and Varney back in tandem. Good news. But hang on. Didn't they used to be part of a triumvirate ? Where's that other fella - Alan-somebody wasn't it?
Alan Pardew. He was appointed by Varney and Murray wasn't he? : - )
Why do you feel the need to go on the defensive merely because some people pointed out you had got something wrong in their opinion?
Why did you need to paint yourself the poor innocent outsider who had been set upon by the mythical "inner sanctum" that only exists in your paranoid mind as soon as someone disagreed with you?
Can you not take disagreement for what it is, a point of debate, rather than seeing it as some personal slight or sinister attack upon you.
I'm afraid I'll just be feeding into your persecution complex if I continue so I'll leave it there.
Don't have a persecution complex - I merely find your unfounded hectoring to be unpleasant. One of the benefits of internet debate is that I can remove myself from it. Was just looking for a simple answer (or at least debate) on a matter that you refuted because:
[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]LOL... you'd got it totally arse about tit.
.
Not difficult, but apparently not forthcoming. I'm not really interested in a debate. I was interested in an answer to the original query, a pertinent matter to our club - pointless pointscoring (from myself as well as others) aside. Shame this site can't mange that, for obvious reasons.
Hats off, Sir Henry. If we had a 'post of the day' you definitely just won it with that Pardew crack.
I'd like to pretend I was being clever and deliberately ambiguous over Alan-somebody...but I confess I'd completely forgotten about Pardew! For some strange and inexplicable reason I must have been trying to write him out of our history...
We all write him out of our minds when we can. I have mentally jumped from our premiership days to this seasons promotion push with nothing in between. Happy days. I have even started joining football discussions at work again with those passionate about ESPN or Sky teams.
Shags comment made me laugh out loud on the train! & Mc Luva Luva my 'chronically insecure' muscles are bigger than yours! ;-) Chill guys Varneys back & its Friday! LLL&BH X

It is funny that every non-Charlton fan I know is talking about us like we'll be in the Prem within 2 seasons!
At least I can actually talk about winning games again and young HOMEGROWN talent.
I like a good debate. Anyone know where there is one? I think mclovin has a bit of a persecution complex, as surely henry could not set his attack dogs to work that quickly, or could he? But there is obviously history somewhere in this,as the original mclovin comments seem pretty innocuous to waarsnt the response. So spill the beans someone, did mclovin soil one of Henrys çardies in the lib club, or is mclovin Ian Dowie or something? Was he given the job of producing CL badges? There is more to this than meets the eye.

I must have made a mistake some where re ill health of Mr Varney.
Must be getting old.Happens to us all in the end.
No probs matey....I know what you mean....though try to get it right in the future or you'll get ageists (such as Rothko) on yer case!!
PETER Varney says he accepted a role on Charlton’s plc board because he is desperate for the club to return to their former glories.
The former Addicks chief executive helped negotiate the recent £7million cash injection into the club by directors.
And Varney, who stepped down from his role at The Valley in 2008, is also tasked with trying to find fresh investment for the club, work he has been doing for several months already.
“My dad took me to my first Charlton game when I was six and my return has nothing to do with finance as some people have suggested,” said Varney, who became a non-executive director at the end of last week.
“I think I’m in a position where I can help them but the board deserve a lot of credit for putting more money into the club.
“To see what has happened in recent years is very disappointing. You sort of have to accept that with the imbalance in finance that exists in the Premier League that at some time you face the prospect of getting relegated to the Championship - but to drop two divisions is something else."

When is the Paul Ellis statue going up?
I don't mind if it is the truth or not.
