Another job been filled... With Cliff Eager being appointed
http://www.cafc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/charlton-cliff-eager-matchday-operations-3195579.aspxAs part of a revamp of matchday operations, Charlton Athletic have appointed Cliff Eager as the club’s new Agency Liaison & Duty Safety Officer.
His role will see Mr Eager take on some duties of the recently retired Safety Officer John Little. He will work closely with the Operation team, providing management and direction to members of the stewarding and matchday safety team.
He joins the club after recently retiring from a 35-year career in the police, where he worked his way through the ranks to become Chief Inspector.
Mr Eager said: “I want to work with the Charlton fans to help make sure there is a safe, family-friendly atmosphere at both home and away Charlton games this season.”

Hopefully the fans will not make it too difficult for you to do your role.
and may i also say Mr ExPlod i do hope your time with CAFC is truely eventful
or by saying I hope he doesn't get treated like shit by some of our fantastically stupid fans? (for the avoidance of doubt I'm referring to the knuckle scrapers that are all over Facebook who think it's cool to brag about pitch invasions, wishing they'd slapped JBG when they were on the pitch, bragging about taking flares along to games). If you mean that aspect of my comment then yes - I do believe I am morally superior to those numb nuts - as I would expect the majority on here are.
'I have a real respect for Charlton fans. It is an fantastic club, with a fantastic group of supporters'
So not to much for the new guy to worry about
Maybe just jumping the gun for when he's told he has to run the ticket office as well.
As for BookFace...I don't use it, wouldn't dream of doing so and find it amazing that anyone would take anything said on there as either 1) serious or 2) see 1).
As a senior ex-plod officer, one would hope he won't be easily manipulated by Tony the Testicle, and will have a firm grasp of the law so can put the regime's stranger ideas to rest and keep the stewards in check.
Welcome Cliff, good luck in your new role: it's going to be eventful.
Will there be any Cliff's left in the year 2035? Who know's a Cliff? Sorry waffling a bit.
Welcome Cliff, I'm sure your police background will come in handy although it isn't clear what his background in stadium safety is. I'm not sure what Agency Liaison is so can't comment on that ; - )
I apologise profusely for not conforming to your specific requirements when commenting and will consider my actions more thoroughly in the future.
Interviewer: Are you hard working? Earnest?
Cliff: No, I'm Eager!
Interviewer: So you are Earnest?
Cliff: No I'm bloody not! I'm Eager!
Cue 10 minutes of confusion...
