Is the Board Suffering from Burn Out

The present Board have been magnificent for Charlton and supporters over the last few years and the club has come such a long way, since I started supporting them in 1967, so I am loathe to criticise the Board in anyway. Like any business you can have a tremendous run of success, only for it to suddenly end and you then have to search for inspiration, maybe from a different source. Over the last year the Board has come in for some unprecedented criticism, not only from the supporters but the media also. From being the club that most neutrals admire and respect, we have become a little bit of a laughing stock. This may sound harsh and I still have a lot of respect for the Board, as I know Charlton is in their hearts. Certainly I would bring them to task over appointing three managers in a season and some of the transfer dealings look as though they have been hastily approved. The latest decision to axe the Ladies team is again another rash decision, that now looks like one of the biggest PR disasters for the club over the last 10 years and now even worse, there could be a possible back-track, very unprofessional in my opinion. Like any football team, it needs a shake up every so often and this also applies to the Board, what shape or form!, now there's a difficult decision.

An interesting analysis. Lets not forget that Murray's ladership has come during a period of great personal tragedy and that must have taken a toll on him over the years.

It may well be time for Richard to take some personal time for himself and his nearest and dearest. The problem is who can he hand the batton to. Martin Simmons, Bob Whitehand? A new consortium, bringing nw ideas and new finance to the club. Football has moved on over the years and we have had to move with it. I suspect whatever Murray does the golden years of the board / fans relationship is behind us and the hard facts of Footballing economics will mean the owners of the clubs shares and the owners of the clubs spirit will become more and more remote.

I would agree with KK. The logic in the longer run is a foreign takeover.

I agree with both comments and for Richard Murray, the sad death of his wife after a seemily innocuous bee sting, incredibly tragic.

Don't be too hasty-Mr Murray deserves his pay day when it does come (who else will buy 26 million shares or whatever it is)- but i'm happy with him there for as long as he wants to in the hot seat
