Varney linked with Arsenal

No, not, Luke Varney, Peter Varney.

Although I did not always agree with him, Peter Varney was a person of real quality as Charlton chief executive and his departure was a real blow to the club which we have not fully recovered from.

According to Tribal Football:

'Charlton Athletic's former chief executive Peter Varney is being linked with Arsenal. "No comment," Varney told the Observer when asked if he would soon be working at the Emirates.

Pressed if there been an approach from Arsenal he said: 'I still have some commitments to Charlton which take me up to Christmas, so let's see what
happens in the new year.'

Reg has been linked with Arsenal before & it is ironic that this story re-surfaces on the day that the news of the death of the real Reg Varney is reported.

Arsenal have been without a CEO for several months so are obviously waiting for the right man.

As time passes it becomes ever more apparent why Reg wanted out.Like you Wyn,I did not agree with everything he did but I am sure he would do a great job at the Emirates.

Would settle for having him back at the Valley right now!
