So you have the support a club to be the chairman now?
And for those speculating - he was at the game last night.
It helps, and City weren't playing last night.
I honestly don't think it makes a great deal of difference. Being a supporter or not being a supporter doesn't necessarily equate to how good somebody's business acumen is.
All it does is stop the supporters being cynical about their every move. The bloke's been knocked to the ground by police on the video, is clearly hurt, and I get the sense from SOME posts that all they care about is what pocksy clothes he is wearing and what club business he was on.
I told you we are Millwall lite even the Chairman's at it :-)
In all seriousness a dreadful thing to happen and I suggest the Spanish licensed thugs police have picked on the wrong man this time.
I agree with you Len. I am not sure what to make of Michael Slater, and I know some people who'd like to lump him, but if he's ready to speak up and testify, I can only applaud him for that. A lot of people in his situation might skulk away. We all benefit if he uses his status to kick up a fuss. Who amongst us hasn't been treated like, at the least, a second class citizen, for no better reason than that we want to watch some football?
Feel for the guy, but it still really rankles with me that our Chairman supports City (or any other club, come to that). I want him to LOVE Charlton and care only about us - even if he follows City on tv etc. Richard Murray wasn't a perfect Chairman but at least we knew he had Charlton running through his veins.
Have you seen the full video. Way over the top. Not ver nice. BUT in amongst all of this brutality is a little peach. Take note of young Caleb from about .46 seconds.
Extended footage on other sites, you never would have guessed he was a lawyer, as after the event laid in the middle of the road as if he had been hit by a ten ton lorry after initially going to get up. No doubt the "Business Trip" was put on the company expenses..claim the VAT back.
Have a look at the You Tube footage, once someone comes over he has a little siesta. There were some poor blokes getting proper battered by the Spanish Police.

Pretty selfish IMO.
Pesetas?

I wonder if this had been Richard Murray following a Wolves game whether there would be such cynicism?
