Steve Waggott
The announcement of Steve Waggott as the club's new CEO has shown some often lacking succession planning. I hope that Mark Kinsella and Damian Matthews are considered in the same light one day, whenever that time comes.
Waggott, in hindsight was an obvious choice to replace Peter Varney, tough as that engagement may well turn out to be. A Geordie, Waggott is certainly a football man, who understands the club and it's deep roots, even if unlike Varney, he hasn't got a lifetime of Addicks memories locked into his head.
I found this recent interview by The Express of Waggott and gives a little insight to what we might expect. "Football nowadays is like a church, a new religion. You can get unbelievable messages across by getting people’s attention through the game." (more)
The very best of luck to Steve. ¶ 14:18
