Hayes was the supporters representative on the Board, with very little powers other than having the ear of Murray.

Everitt was never on the Board and directly reported to Varney. Agreed he probably helped to get rid of Waggott but he was almost as incompetent as Meire.

Hayes was the only “Fans Director” in football history who flatly refused to do what he was supposed to do - represent fans who elected him (I didn’t, and he won with 454 votes on a 0.1% turnout). Worse than that, he went native to such as extent - luxuriating on CL in the “I have been told such and such but can’t pass it on” type comments that he actually fed back to fans criticism and barbed comments that his hero - “Muzza” - had made of them.

As for Everitt, it wasn’t only Waggot he undermined. Remind me again why he was sacked, These things are bound to happen when you appoint your inexperieced & unqualified mates to jobs.

It’s also worth noting that Steve went in to hold several high positions within football. Coventry he walked in to a **** storm and did an incredible job.

What he didn’t do was bitch and moan on a forum.

While Rick Everitt returned to self employed obscurity, producing a £2 fanzine ...

Steve was a football man. Is a football man.

Because Rick told people that we were taking 416 to Nottingham Forest away, people took his word as gospel. And he then went on to tell some absolute tales when he was shunned for a job he felt entitled to.

The truth is, a few of the people he cosied up to at Charlton were the incompetent ones. Well that’s how a lot of the external partners saw it <ok>
 
Another problem with Rick is that he’s unashamedly somewhat left wing politically.
I’m sure this didn’t sit too well with the majority of directors and was always in the background when it came to his involvement with the club....whether that was justified or not unfortunately it would certainly have been a concern as to a perceived view of them and in turn there’s of his.
Hypothetical as my suggestion may be.......I think it may well have played a part in his departure.

Not saying it wasn't.

But I met Waggott on four separate occasions and formed an opinion of his competence within two minutes of the first meeting. He was all puff and wind and management speak. To be fair Varney was a hard act to follow.

I was told only last week that Elliot is still trying to put together a bid, so surprised if this is not the case.

Mind you, not as surprised when I heard who else was also working on a bid.

Has he asked Rufus for advice?

They knew he was a member of the Labour Party when they took him on. I can't see why they would sack him for that, they would have been slaughtered when he appealed against it.

Thanks for the clarification SuperChrissy. Good to get some background on what had previously occurred other than from just a singular source of information I get.

True.....but two things.
They may not have realised how left wing he was.
As for them sacking him for that I’m not saying that’s why he was sacked only that it may have had an unspoken bearing on it and there’s no way it would have come out in any hearing as it could never be proved.......could it.

How left wing is he?
 
Let’s make this clear......he is a very active member if nothing else.
I am in NO WAY saying this was a reason for his departure but that it might have made some directors a little nervous about cuddling up to him and without openly declaring their feeling about that, it may have been a contributing factor in not being sorry to see him depart......that’s all.
I may be well wide of the mark.....but something tells me it just might be true......who knows.

Dear old Ponders on here and The Flying Monk on ITTV both had me convinced they were ITK. Excellent posters both of them, and I take my hat off to them <cheers>. You believe what you want to believe, we all do it.

In fairness to Ponders, his prediction that Roland will sell during this season still stands firm.

TFM is an entirely different kettle of fish, for although he undoubtedly knows a lot of people, he probably just embellished the takeover rumours in order to wind up Odious Addick.

P.S) Ponders, The Flying Monk and I are all different people = Ponders, Ducker and Benny Hill Addick.
