I can't believe anyone would try to rationalise Methven's involvement, given his words about us. This is entirely about his conduct which in itself suggests that he does not have respect for us as fans. That ship has sailed, there can be no defence of him having any substantial part of any new regime.

Listen to this and ask yourself whether this is someone who holds us in anything other than contempt:

Can’t believe there’s fans on here defending him. Poisonous c*nt

This for me. I’ll stomach him hanging on for his payday if he stays silent and in the background. Never want to see him discuss the club or fans again or have any position at the club where he makes decisions.

Stay down south, keep his gob shut and take his money if/when we get promoted

While i think in business ,business is business so i don't think they give a fek about the fans but i do believe the club will have minions looking at the fans forums to get an idea to how to manage us as they think we are sheep easily turned by a win or two..............We need to keep a simple consistent message in response "say no to charlie " and perhaps as i have said before ALS could produce a t shirt with charlies smug entitled face on it with a stop sign stating "say no to charlie".this combines an anti drug message with vermin control.All joking aside we need to keep up the anti charlie message as he will be a disaster for our club and fanbase.

The ego, yes. The French kid has probably been duped into investing in the unique talent of Charlie Methven as much as a football club. We can criticise him plenty but there is an entitled old Etonian gift for staying connected and attracting money that the likes of us may never understand.

There is relationships and people here that we barely know but are entrusting the future progress of the club. What a time to be alive.

I think his face superimposed on a rats body would be appropriate.
 
I get he’s meant to be a PR expert and his way of words isn’t great (putting it lightly) but quite frankly I couldn’t care less if he’s still involved. Prehab has said if it wasn’t for him the deal mightn’t have even happened...

One of the lowest ebbs in the clubs history, if not the worst and we’re potentially getting multiple billionaire owners (who have links with other well established teams), a sporting director and most likely a new manager replacing our dreadful current one.

Not sure what everyone else has been watching for the past 2 years but it couldn’t get any worse right now and people are more fixated on one person that called illegal stream watchers parasites 😂

Let’s see what happens with the deal and new owners. It’s quite clear with 5% shares he’s not going to be running the club.

Makes no f***ing difference. Do you think there aren’t Tory voters in the ground on a match day ? Covid excepted? He’s a f**king inept, mendacious, narcissistic waste of skin. And an utter failure to boot. Don’t give him an out by saying “he’s a tory” he’s a walking disaster, that’s a higher priority.

If methvan and Donald have any significent say moving forward the majority of fans I know will stay away not matter the results. Too many bridges burnt

He knows that so the best move is to create the veil of new ownership.

I am reminded of the great quote from the Usual Suspects.

“the greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world he does not exist”.

Yeah I don't care if he has shares. I do care that there have now been 2 suggestions that he will have more say than 5% indicates, and that he might have a bigger role that implies day to day involvement in some way:

I am still positive about a takeover, but would definitely be disappointed if Methven has that kind of influence. Would not show much respect for us as fans if he was brought back into the fold.

Aye and he’s been heavily involved for the last two years . And it’s far more than the parasite comment

If they are impressed by this snake oil selling bullshit merchant then good luck to them. They’ll need it.
