  • Strange
  • seems fairly emphatic
  • "the board wish him well"

    I fear another will be joining the leaving party
  • He'd have to join first no?
  • Can somebody please explain. I thought Slater was KCs representative and now KC has rportedly withdrawn his money - why is Slater stil chairman. I appreciate I am missing something but does anybody know what it is?

    Just a theory but KC has stopped further funding but still owns shares that he is trying to flog, in the meantime Slater as his representive still sits on the board

  • It wouldn't be up to Slater to offer Paul Elliott the job, would it? That would be the for the owners to do, not the current (on his way out) Chairman.
  • Because from for KC or not, Slatter is offically and legally part owner of the club. For him to go somebody has to buy those shares. KC may not be putting any more money in, but still owns (via Slatter) 23% of the club

    No, it probably wouldn't be up to him - but Slater has always been more of a spokesperson for the club than anything.

    Has this ever been confirmed as fact or was it speculated?

  • firstly, I can't see the Mirror making up a random story like that. We are not normally big enough to even warrant a mention so, imo, no smoke without fire. Secondly, doesn't read to me as if Slater will be around much longer no 'I'm Chairman and looking to remain so for the foreseeable future' so, once again imo, we will have a new Chairman sometime soon, if not Elliott then AN Other.
  • Nevermind that, what about the stroy underneith:

    Bromley pensioners excluded from Crown & Anchor pub over personal hygiene issue
  • Interesting......

    That Slater has denied this rumour when many others were ignored or not mentioned.


    That its in the NS and not as far as I can see the SLP, the usual organ for CAFC semi-official news.


    That this swift rebuttal begs the question of who leaked the news and why? Was the leak to scupper the idea?



    And Dave Mehmet you can button it now. I've never tried to get in that pub : - )

  • I agree Large. Maybe the Board were not happy the information found its way to the newspapers.
  • I think it is simply that this rumour is much easier to sqaush than ones that are staff related and have some elements of truth in.
  • perhaps they've realised the Newshopper is the Charlton paper...

    ;)
  • Whatever the truth it's fascinating that Charlton seem to be stumbling from one intrigue to the next with monotonous regularity. Agree that it's seems weird and totally unbelievable that The Mirror plucked this from thin air and made the whole thing up. Could it be that someone is being mischievous ?

    To me, this has all the hallmarks of a leak from someone trying to gain the initiative or pre-empt something else, a bit like the Brown and Blair camps of old. MS has to promptly deny which is interesting. But why and who would use the Mirror, I can't remember anyone using the Mirror before? I reckon we need Bromley to bring forward its annual Murray Unminted evening.
  • I blame Andrew Mills...

  • Could it just be that we are denying a story which had a fairly prominent amount of space in the Mirror, a national newspaper, rather than the wall of silence that greeted a collection of rumours on here (no matter how near the truth any of them may have been / may still be).

    Sounds reasonable to me, so apologies in advance for that! ;-)

    Don't come on here with your "reasonable" assumptions.

  • Exactly why Many were saying it's odd and doesn't make sense

    Not that Paul Elliott might not make a great chairman

    Just how and why and by who

    If you look at what slater said when discussing Varney and kav

    It's just a reshuffle planned and fits with MS and TJ plans



    Either someone is trying to shake the hornets nest to provoke a reaction

    Or is someone is trying to let something out to see if we still have lose lips in the inner sanctum


    One thing is for sure the whole place gets curiouser and curiouser




  • Im still suspicious there is something in this as not sure why the mirror would choose us of all clubs to make up a story, as the papers never cared about us when we were in the premier, hardly gonna sell many extra copies to read that exclusive.
  • Here we go, we have lift off, this could reach 10 pages
  • Yes, it's a bit surprising that the Mirror are reporting this, but maybe it's not because of us, maybe the interest is because the story involves Elliott?

    And possibly a link there with the Mirror reporter, Darren Lewis who, to be very fair to him, has been quite complimentary to us in the past.
