If there's anyone on this board we want in that position it's GC, he's easily the most invested in our success (publicly at least)3

Anyone care to explain exactly what this means?6

If it's a conventional chair position, has more responsibility in being the 'link' between the board of investors/owners and the SMT of the club. Should be the one who makes sure the strategy of management & investment are alignedcarly burn said:Anyone care to explain exactly what this means?0 -
I don’t know about these things really but feels like a slight watering down of CM’s influence? Not day to day obviously but an extra layer between him and the other owner2

The Titanic deckchair steward has swopped the seating around a bit. Everything is still going full steam ahead and the outlook is fine and clear.carly burn said:Anyone care to explain exactly what this means?24 -
My thoughts exactly………….worryingly 😜Henry Irving said:Good to have a fan in the role.
I wonder what comes next?1 -
It could be a positive move if the main communication between club and owners is through GC and not CM3
-
Sounds like it's the owners getting their man closer to the SMT. He will be their 'ears and eyes'.13

It means we should be winning games 4-0 till the end of the season.
Carry on.6 -
A non-executive chairman is a board member who manages the board of a company without being involved in the day-to-day operations. They are responsible for representing the interests of shareholders and ensuring the company is run in a way that is in the best interest of all stakeholders

Is this an indication of more 'hands on' to make sure that investors money is being spent wisely or am I over reading this appointment ?0

I suggest it is a matter of closer oversight by and greater clarity of communication with the investors. Whether such clarity will extend to all stakeholders remains to be seen. I am still trying to work out Rodwells’ June appointment of specific oversight of all football affairs.
Overall performance might suggest not everybody is aligned with the same script.

That is how I read it.Bailey said:Is this an indication of more 'hands on' to make sure that investors money is being spent wisely or am I over reading this appointment ?
GC is now better placed to ask questions and get answers as well as challenge the SMT ie Methven, Rodwell and Warwick.
IIRC Scott is no longer on the SMT.
It means, IMHO, Charlie isn't marking so much of his own homework23 -

Properly bored of listening to CM bull#hit.1

Means the owners dont trust Methven & want someone they can trust to tell them what the hell is going on.8

My reading of it, since I only know what we've all read on the OS, is that the owners now want one of themselves as Chair so they can have better scrutiny of what is going on.18 -

Agree it would be better to have reminded everyone of who holds what role now but I don't think that was the comms team being poor, rather it was deliberately left vague.valleynick66 said:

For all the talk about Methven, it was Rodwell who was Chairman (as well as MD) so if anyone has been demoted, it's him
From JuneCharlton Athletic’s board for the 2024/25 season will consist of James Rodwell, Paul Elliott CBE MBE, Gavin Carter, Charlie Methven and Ed Warrick.As Managing Director, Rodwell will oversee Charlton’s football operations at Sparrows Lane. He will also continue to chair the board.Meanwhile, Elliott has been appointed Vice Chairman of the Board and continues to lead Charlton’s equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives.Methven has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer, subject to EFL approval. In his role, he will be responsible for the off-pitch growth of the football club and will oversee the day-to-day running of the club at The Valley. Warrick continues as Chief Financial Officer while Carter continues as an independent Non-Executive Director.As part of the changes, Andy Scott will step away from board duties to focus on his role as Technical Director in charge of the club’s first-team football departments at the training ground, reporting to Rodwell.https://www.charltonafc.com/news/update-structure-board#:~:text=As Managing Director, Rodwell will,and inclusion (EDI) initiatives.1 -

This has to be a good thing in my eyes. SMT removed from the role and a link/conduit provided between the owners and SMT.
Hopefully SMT will now be held to account. Go get 'em Gav!6 -
Still not convinced. The latest announcement says ‘has been appointed as the Non-Executive Chair of the Charlton Athletic board.’That could read as a co- chair to Rodwell.Maybe I’m being too cynical2

Didn’t Charlie tell us he was working on a celebrity chair a few months back?2

No I think the comment was in reference to getting a celebrity involved, which turned out to be Goldbridge and his streamAirman Brown said:Didn’t Charlie tell us he was working on a celebrity chair a few months back?5 -
Someone to make us "interesting" in a way similar to Tom Brady was what he said at Bromley.Airman Brown said:Didn’t Charlie tell us he was working on a celebrity chair a few months back?
Don't remember him saying it would be a new chair but maybe that was said elsewhere.0 -

I’ve not yet clicked on the link, so not quite sure how this will pan out in practical terms.
However, when GC came to Bromley Addicks, he came across as a decent bloke who loved and cared about the club, so more involvement I hope, could be a good thing.
When at the meeting the other night with Deano and Brownie, I couldn’t help but think we could do with a younger version of Peter Varney involved with running the club, hope Gav has spoken to PV and Curbs, when he has been at the club to suss out, how they made it all come together and tick, on and off the pitch.
I know it was 20 plus years ago, or whatever it was, but it can be done.
I still don’t think I’ve got a clear
picture about how our recruitment works, because it seriously needs fixing.7 -
