Chris Parkes The only CAFC Representative

The implied threat is as we're very naughty, Roland will shut the club down.6

So, according to Sue Parkes, we should be indebted to Roland for funding the club's debts and making it a going concern. At best, better the devil we know, at worst, there won't be a club etc.
At the same time, we should also be disgusted that Peter Varney made his correspondence (or lack thereof) with Roland and Katrien public. He represents a group with strong interest in buying the club.
Well, we know Peter and 99% of us will choose that devil every time.
Bye Roland.30 -
What could possibly be 'going on behind the scenes' that could excuse the shambles the club is in?

Nothing more annoying than being patronised. I think Mrs. Parkes the fans are perfectly capable of deciding for themselves if there is something rotten in the state of Charlton.21

Sue Parkes is a fan with her own mind. Those quotes are taken out of their context which makes them look all the worse - having participated on some of those threads I can say she's open to be challenged and debate her point.
I don't agree with everything she says and argued against a couple of those quotes directly myself, but she's a fan like the rest of us. I do think there is a sense of a lack of questioning of what they're told with some of the club staff, and the idea we'd die if RD withdrew when there's clear evidence of interested parties is just not sustainable.
Still let's not turn everyone who doesn't agree with the protests into the enemy. Many are fans who have seen it all and are happy just to let the owners get on with it and play their part in the stands. I differ with that view, but it is their right.3 -
This thread highlights why km isn't attending games,
It leaves the criticism of her and Rd fall into the lap of others
The issue is Rd and Km not sue Parkes or any other over inflated fan,
She can say what she wants she can write what she wants as it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to what is going on or needs to be done to remove the cancer in the club
Let all have their say you don't have to agree with it and you never know they may just load more bullets in the gun for us when they slip up off the towing line3 -

I accept that fans who don't agree with the protests are not the enemy - but I do think that of any senior figure at the club who see what's going on and yet supports the regime while they rip the heart out of our club. Not sure if Sue quite fits that description, but she is married to one of them and ought to keep her opinions to herself.rikofold said:Sue Parkes is a fan with her own mind.

It's ironic that her constant slating of this site on the fb page is what led me to check out Charlton life and I have been hooked ever since.AFKABartram said:Chris Parkes has been working at Charlton I think the whole time I've supported the club and I have never heard a bad, or even critical word said against him. He has always come across a as fan and an asset to the Club.
I will not criticise his wife (though she has been publicly critical of CL in the past) of her views of being critical of the protests / protesters and how grateful we should all be to have Roland, as she is perfectly intitled to that view.
However, Ive always thought though her leading involvement in a Facebook group was a bit of a conflict of interest, particularly as anyone who has visited it will tell you the boundaries on there are about a thousand times wider than what we moderate to on here. My own view is I don't think it is fitting for a senior employees wife to be as strongly associated to something with such content.
I also think she puts herself in a position where she stresses most of the time that Chris doesn't tell her a thing and she is as in the dark of Charlton news as everyone else, then occasionally slips in retorts like "if the fans knew the truth" etc. As soon as you cross a line where you are publicly critical of supporters when you are associated with the Club or court certain privileges that the average Joe doesn't, you will immediately find you've put people's backs up.
The Parkes though are by no means the enemy in any way, and really should not be the target for any form of abuse regardless of Sue's thoughts or words.
(And promptly left the fb page too)

That Facebook page really is something else0

As a Trust member, I hope that is a personal opinion and not a Trust position. The Trust should be pushing for Duchatelet to sell up. There's been too much water under the bridge. There's been too much appeasment of Duchatlet, Meire and Murray when they are clearly part of the problem.rikofold said:Sue Parkes is a fan with her own mind.

I think she is wrong, but she is entitled to a view, as we are. One person can't protest effectively, there needs to be enough of them. We have our own minds and support our club and fans that are protesting should not be dismissed. They feel the club needs saving and are trying to do so.1

Who listens to Sue Parkes? She is just an apologist for a failed regime. Keep on enjoying your free Vol u Vents Sue, you aren't typical of most Charlton supporters.8

What I need to be known is how Syd the Cheese views all this.0
-
Perhaps she is just making a play to be next CEO?0
-
Is that 2% of the people at the club ?0

as afka said, the parkes are charlton through and through and im sure sue is talking from her heart and not from a brown nosing aspect but the truth is, its all about opinions - there is no question in my mind that rd thought he could achieve with his plans - the academy investment is great (sue will know this, she lives next door) but the strategy is all wrong and 6 failed managers in under 2 years kind of backs that up - the first team squad and management is poor. Bucking the system and being successful makes you look a genius - doing it and failing makes you look a failure - rd, you've failed so please sell up and lets get back to being a proper club again - do u not think the other 91 clubs might do things differently if it worked?2

Don't know the woman or anything about her, but having read her comments and this thread, I think she's on the same senile pills as Murray.

This whole affair is bringing out the worst in a lot of people. Too many people seem to be getting high on the smell of their own farts. Can't wait until the Belgians have shoved off2

Looks to me like KM has pinched Sue's login details!3

I have to admit that the posts attributed to Sue have really shocked me.
My gob is well and truly smacked.
It's like being told there IS no Tooth Fairy !3 -

Her online comments are completely inappropriate, the spouse of a club employee should not be on social media talking about club affairs.
Let's be honest here, if she were slagging off KM and RD and leaking negative stories then they would not tolerate it for a minute but because she is backing them then she is allowed to continue.
In the project I work on I get access to a whole lot of sensitive political and commercial information and I certainly don't tell my Missus any of it let alone let her plaster it all over Facebook.6 -

Mrs Parkes might, and probably is, a true CAFC fan, and good on her for that.....
But......one minute "I know nothing...", next, "If only you knew....."
She wrote that. Out of context or not, either be honest or say nothing.
as [Sir] Henry is fond of saying, Troll-ing ?5 -
She's back, criticising fans, calling people planning to protest a bit more... Aggressively. Mindless idiots and that we would cause more damage to the club than the owner could. It's hard to believe that she's actually serious, clearly all of those years of free hospitality every game has gone to her head.0

Forgot to add that she doesn't see a problem with using the term customers. Starting to think Katrien might've hacked her account.0

Sue Parkes obviously hasn't caught up with what is really going on with this regime (probably because she's a bit brainwashed). It has taken most of us different amounts of time to 'see the light' but it's a lot more than 2% now and growing rapidly. It's a bit like how people were with Hitler before the 2nd World War (on a different scale I know
). The trouble is, with people like that, they may never see the light until it's too late. Who was it who said "Forgive them, for they know not what they are doing". Or something like that anyway. 2
