Methven still claiming credit

There’s a few on here willing to sell their souls for a pint from Charlie…. Usual suspects!

Im not selling my soul just saying he isn’t the vile devil people are portraying him as. Charlie has left 2 clubs in a much better place now compared to when he took over and Sheff Wed fans are hoping there will be a third.

Keep on mocking with your emojis.

He had the balls to take over the club with Donald where were you then? I didn’t see you at the Piss Taking Press Conference

The balls? They were giving the club for a pittance and used the clubs own money to buy it man. He tried to come in and flip it and cocked it right up.

If you're genuinely asking why I didn't buy the football club then its an ever dafter response than your defence of him.

I hope the pint went down well mate if its bought him years of defending. Your posts are laughable.

I'm 99% sure this is a wind up, but on this point...

This is factually incorrect. He left his position at the club in 2019, after steering us to 11th in League One. He sold his shares later, but for almost the entire time he was directly involved in day-to-day aspects of the club, he presided over abject failure.

I'll say it again: Cutting is the easy part. You could bring in a golden retriever with a set of dice and achieve cuts. The intent is to move upwards, and that was something he was unable to do. Claiming credit for KLD coming, Speakman coming, and because one player who barely played has ended up being at the club throughout that journey, is an incredible reach. He failed miserably on every level, and the fact that at least 3 proposed ownership groups ran a mile when they saw the inner workings of the shell he had created, tells you that it was likely significantly worse than he would ever admit.

Nobody has played a greater role in almost destroying us as a football club. Claiming credit because he was eventually forced out after lying brazenly about how they funded their purchase, alienating everyone with attacks on the fan base and failing in every critical role he claimed for himself, is his legacy. A fraud of a man, almost in the literal sense.

I've had business dealings with him in the past and I concur.

He said nobody wanted to buy the football club because of the fans :lol:
A bloke who said our fans were uneducated around business :lol:

Just think about the bloke you're defending man. All because he bought you a pint :lol:

They bought the club with the clubs own f***ing money, that didn't take balls, absolute charlatans

No mate I just remember him fondly from an exchange at Peterborough away in 2019. I didn’t have down as a fraud then and still don’t. He was a genuine man who isn’t the devil people are portraying him as.

Don’t think he is the devil but he is far from genuine. Just consider the evidence.
He claimed they bought the club for £40m. He lied.
He claimed the club was debt free. He lied.
He claimed he recruited Speakman. He lied.
He claimed he attracted KLD to the club. He lied.
He claimed the club was losing £27m a season when he came in. He lied.
He claimed the club was £180m in debt when he came in. He lied.
He claimed he laid the foundations for the business strategy. He lied.
He claims we got promoted due to his business strategy. He lied.
He claims we are in the premier league because of him. More lies.
He is not a genuine man. What he is, is someone who tricks, fools and lies to people to win them over. Another term for this is a confidence man. Or con man for short.
Seems he’s done a job on you mate.

I didn’t see you come in with a consortium. Don’t mock people who have tried and failed if you haven’t tried at all.

My point was the claim Methven made during the press conference. He can’t claim it was debt free (although we now know that was bullshit) and then claim it was £180m in debt when he took over. The bloke just a pure bullshitter.

No disagreement from me. He's very personable (as most Etonians are) and OK socially, but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. It took me an age to work out what really happened, and even then it was down to looking at charges over the Hilton which joined the dots.

Show a bit of back bone and get your tongue out of Charlie's derrière.

If you are happy with the work that he done at this club then you have a very low bar of both work ethics and achievements.

This. Far too many of our fans were happy to roll over when the club was dying.

It’s easy enough to understand. It’s easy to criticise from the bubble of your keyboard without having to do any proper hard work. Did you contact any rich men to try and do better? No - you were happy to just criticise the people who actually tried.
