wormy Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I don't buy the argument of 'what fan wouldn't do what he did'. It's one thing taking the job in blind excitement but to stick it out and be complicit in the club you supposedly love being systematically destroyed for seven years? Nah. Even if he walked away after a year of it, he'd have earned multiples of what he previously would've, and now has 'CEO of an entire fucking football club' to put on his CV, deserved or not. He'd have the time and the CV to now land something above whatever role he had before becoming Ashley's bitch. I can't muster the vitriol I have reserved for the likes of Ashley and Bruce, but I've not an ounce of respect or understanding for him or his position if he considers himself a fan.

From what I have heard, Charnley is not and has never been a fan or a football fan, he just managed to work his way up from a junior administration position to the clubs managing director.

So nah, fuck the baldy little cunt. Bruce was a millionaire already. Charnley was like any of us wealth wise, but just working in the box office and got lucky, and he's been elevated beyond his dreams. I'd have taken the job too. I think anyone would. He'd never in his wildest dreams achieve anything even one percent as good as this ever again in terms of salary and profile. He'd be frankly mad to turn it down. The two situations are not remotely comparable. Though tbh I don't even blame Bruce for taking the job, why wouldn't he, he's a football manager. I blame Ashley for the fucking ludicrous sacking clause. I disliked Bruce for his incompetence, not for him taking the job. He should never have been offered it mind.

Explains it a lot more. Still no respect for little weasel. But he clearly has none for himself so whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them took the job in the full knowledge they would be doing Ashley's bidding of talking down the club. I dont give a fuck who else would have taken those jobs in the same circumstances. They both damaged NUFC by their actions and therefore deserve all the contempt in the world for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Charnley was handed a once in a lifetime, life-changing lottery win, do people think he should've not taken it? That's delusional if so. I'm delighted he's gone, it's excellent news. The blame for his appointment is on Ashley though, not on Charnley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I agree he took a job he simply had to. He was also completely shit at that job. He was also a complete cunt to our fan base. He can be fired to space, if its feasible. Baldy little bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 He fought Ashley's corner, enabling the dismantling of our once great football club - same as Bruce and others before him. Good riddance to the pathetic little wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 He could have his money or his morals, he chose the former. I'm sure he has a big mansion where he can sit and watch the cricket in. Cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I had a chuckle that the official tweet didn’t thank Charnley for his long service or helping with the transition. Reads exactly like Yorkie’s title change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 My dislike for him isn’t down to his day to day running of the club, it was the needless comment about the training ground, he voluntarily gaslit the supporters when he knew full well how bad it was.

bobbydazzla Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Played a key role in stripping NUFC to the bare bones and turning it into a soulless zombie club that was determined to underachieve and deliberately antagonise its fans. He also piped Ashley dry and rimmed his stinking festering putrid hoop. So there can be no excuses made for him. The bloke is a cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I would 100% have done the same thing as charnley for 7 year but I'd completey agree with anyone calling me a cunt like Like I would happily liquidate the entire club to lick Emily Ratajkowski's arsehole.

Seen what Ashley was doing to the club and be able to look at yourself towing the company line and being complicit in it all. I don’t think I could. I couldn't because I cannot keep my mouth shut.

Danh1 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Soz if said already, but it says a lot about LC that his last communication with the fans was promising to communicate more, which happened over a year ago. I thank him for his time at the club before taking a place on the board, where he came a yes man and Ashley’s lap dog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Nah he can fuck of and hopefully suffers in whatever job he next takes, ending with the sack I hope. Hopeless cunt that he is/was. Good riddance! Next the SD signs… soon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I think all three should be brought back and publicly drawn and quartered.
