It was great to hear RM today and I thought he trod a very fine line with good diplomatic skill. I just don't know how much power and influence he wields on the board these days (would be very interested in Airman's take on this point) but I for one am delighted he is still there and long may it continue.
Not much, except TJ and MS presumably know that if he was to resign it would damage their credibility. He's almost playing the role of the old supporters' director in that respect, except he's also still underwriting the overdraft.

As Lancs Lad said, us exiles would like to know exactly what is being referred to, but I think I get the gist. Whatever it is, I know whose side I am on... How much are European subscriptions to VOTV Airman?
Thanks for that, Beckboy. Nice toi hear that Slater now considers himself a Charlton fan....
Didn't actually say that though did he, and he's not. He's a Citeh fan. "experiencing the tensions of" and "being" a Charlton fan aren't necessarily the same thing.
Comparing the level of communication favourably with the message to our supporters is a bit like claiming rigormortis as a sign of life.
Slater is entitled to say what he likes in the programme. Having said that, you can't erase Airman's role in our club's past and great to see Richard Murray acknowledge it at half time -without naming names -we knew who he was referring to.

Peter Varney whilst incredibly not getting a mention was at the game yesterday as I saw him enter the players/executive entrance hopefully as a guest of RM!
He filled a page without saying much at all. The only thing that really stands out is his disdain for those who worry about the lack of communication from the club. Seems to me that he thinks the supporters current and only role is to turn up on game day and cheer.
A celebration where at least 2 key names are not mentioned is always going to appear incomplete and rather uneasy. I have no idea if those people were not invited or declined to attend but good on RM for not allowing the celebration to omit an acknowledgment of their part in Charlton's success in the last 20 years.

Peter buys Millennium season tickets for himself and his family; that's how you get into that area.
While we're talking about communication does anyone else follow Richard Cawley from the SLP on twitter?
None of the usual feedback from CPs presser yesterday and no mention of the game or result today.
Seems odd
Very strange, maybe taking an early holiday
Hadn't he been a very naughty boy for telling people what they already knew and could see for themselves re Koc, so Santa Slater crossed him off the list? Journos don't like that happening so the word tends to get around, but I'm sure it's just more journalistic lies. ;-)
Can anyone quote murray: missed it having usual half time conflab on East concourse - doh!
Pint of conflab eh razil ;0)
I'm also hoping there will be a chance of a transcript or to listen again to his speech. I heard what RM said but there was a lot of between the lines listening to be done. He came across not only as a skilled political diplomat but a confident one as well. Could it be that RM finds himself holding the balance of power in the boardroom ?

No he's a minority shareholder on the outside looking in, while the spivs have a knock about
Looking on Into the Valley, someone thought that in RMs speech he was saying goodbye. Not the way I saw or heard it but made me wonder whether he would still be around in the event of a major investment or buyout.
