Hello guys, first of all good luck for success in promotion this season. You fans deserve it.
There are stories that Charlie Methven is going to be part of a supposed imminent takeover at Charlton.
Word is that he is basically bad news and that he was bad for you with various cost cutting and player sales.
Are these stories true and thus we are to be concerned?

In a word, yes. In more than one word, yes be very concerned.

I posted something a while back on your board when it was first suggested he was involved in a take over of you lot warning you about him. I thought it had fallen through, but like Michael Myers in "Halloween" he seems to be coming back. He'll talk a good fight at first to get you on side, visit your pubs, seem like he's wanting to really turn things round for you, but some of the antics he pulled while involved here left a very bad taste to us. That includes selling off some of our prize assets from tour academy, such as Bali Mumba, Logan Pye and Joe Hugill. After about a year he'd burned his bridges with us when he had a go at the fans saying that we "didn't understand business" when he was called out about something at a meeting with fans.

Hmmmmm, visiting pubs is what our current manager does, taken on in January and Methven was seen in our directors box then and linked.
Can Charlton fans expect false hopes to begin with but a car crash later?

A guy called Josh Friedman, an American, is said to be taking us over. He is meant to be loaded and the questions are where does Methven supposedly fit into it all.

He will be helping them with PR and the such (Dear god) and gain a percentage of the shares, to flog at some stage as he is a potless chancer

He might do alright with Charlton to be fair - because Southerners understand business and there are far more entrepreneurs in the South East

In summary, he's a Tory **** who clings on the coat tails of millionaires without having any money of his own. He will treat Charlton like a failing business, cut half the (off field) workforce then demand everyone works longer hours to compensate.
