A few notes from tonight’s fan meeting

I watched the ‘meet the director fan meeting tonight. Not sure how many of you did, certainly the viewer number count on You Tube never got above 500, and we found out tonight that we have 12,500 season ticket holders. It is here if you want to watch the recording.

Charlotte Richardson hosted Board Chair Gavin Carter, Managing Director Jim Rodwell until he had to go, and then CFO Ed Warwick for just over an hour in what has been described as part of the club’s fan engagement framework.

No new CEO

After a few weeks of speculation Gavin Carter today put on record that the club and Dane Murphy have mutually agreed that he will not be taking up the role of Chief Executive Officer, as previously announced.

Murphy may or may not have been the right person to lead the club forward, but it is best that everyone moves on.

New CEO

My first thoughts this morning? Why an earth have we made Danny Murphy CEO?

After a long search the club has turned to Dane Murphy as its new Chief Executive Officer. Murphy comes with a fine CV, and by the age of 39 has played pro, been a scout, a technical director and a football club CEO.

Andy Scott departs

When Andy Scott joined the club in July 2023 he was pretty much given the keys to the castle, and as his decisions became more and more costly it only appeared as if he was given more keys.

That was until Nathan Jones came in.

Tonight’s online meeting

Well it was less of a meeting and more of a staging. The video can be seen here if you weren’t able to tune in.

In my work career I have sat in a million of these ‘interactive’ meetings where the message is carefully delivered, granting some past mistakes but painting a rosy picture of our future, all the while making sure they shoehorn in the DE&I guy as well.

Who are the Senior Management Team?

Andy Scott is the latest member of the new Charlton Athletic Senior Management Team (SMT). Scott was always expected to return once SE7 Partners took control of the club. He joined Messrs.
