Peter Varney leaves

Chief executive Peter Varney is to leave the club at the end of the season for personal reasons. Popularly known as Reg, a sobriquet he did not like, Varney has been at the helm for eleven years, ones of continuous development for Charlton.

I have had my disagreements with Peter Varney over the years. But there was no doubt
that he was Charlton through and through and he was always ready to listen to comments (including a lot of gripes from fans) and make a robust response.

'Enjoy the game' was his catchphrase. What a shame that often we didn't, but it wasn't his fault.

He'll be sadly, perhaps badly, missed!
His business brain helped to push CAFC forward to become the club it has, compared to what it was, just over a decade ago.
