Gavin Carter "It's a long-term project"

Just to give a view on Gavin Carter, I was being a mouthy fucker on twitter (shock horror) and he direct messaged me explaining some of their rationale around the scarf fiasco and what felt like a polite "is there any chance you can turn it in" message.
Obviously not much has changed, and I didn't, but, I'll always slander people who I think are due it. That said, I don't think he's a bad bloke, he comes across sound, and there are bigger problems than him.
I don't think he has much influence compared to some other players at the table, but I don't get the impression at all that he's a toad etc like how I feel about a lot of people that have been associated with the club.2 -
At Bromley I thought he was a fan and a decent chap who seems to have left England some years ago and probably had rose tinted glasses about memories of Charlton.1

How does he benefit?Croydon said:
Just how I feel about it tbh mate. Just looks to me to be another bloke benefitting from a ludicrously complicated ownership structure that is offering absolutely nothing positive to the club currently. Couple of interviews have got people on side, but actions speak louder than words, and there's been very little done. Keep hearing he's a fan, but didn't the last rogue mob have a 'fan' in their ranks too?fenaddick said:
Genuinely fascinated by opinions like this, what are you basing that on?Croydon said:Carter nothing more than another chancer in my opinion. We need a total clear out.
I could be wrong of course. Basing it off my gut feel, nothing more. Said my opinion to be sure I wasn't trying to pass it off as anything more than just that, my opinion.0 -
A billionaire will earn Millions in interest alone per year. What they are putting into Charlton won't make a dent.
Gavin Carter isn't a billionaire but no doubt he was very gullible in buying into the story the gang of four sold him!0 -
What's the difference between a non-exec chairman and a shopping trolley?
The shopping trolley has a mind of its own but you can get more food in a non-exec chairman.5 -

Interesting to see some of the opinions from just over a year ago. Not a dig at anyone in particular, just very enlightening I think to see just how much has changed and perhaps how much we didn't know or blamed on the wrong people. And I do include myself as one of those who was pointing fingers in the wrong direction somewhat

Gates up, retail up, hospitality up which is all good and yes you'd expect that after promotion. I wonder if we'll see hard figures as in a previous directors brief (hopefully not missing out a financial year.Scoham said:Gavin Carter video on 2025

Steady progress and no grand promises. I always prefer under promise, over deliver to the alternative.
"progressive" signings in the window doesn't tell us much so as ever WIOTOS.10 -
