Oatway leaves the albion

Albion First Team Coach, Charlie Oatway, has left the club by mutual consent.

The club would like to sincerely thank Charlie for his hard work, commitment and dedication since he joined the club in 1999.

Charlie joined the club as a player in 1999, eventually becoming club captain. During Charlie’s successful playing career, he helped the club secure championships in 2001 and 2002 and a play-off victory in 2004.

Following the end of his playing career, Charlie remained involved with the club working with its charitable arm Albion in the Community.

In November 2009, Charlie became First Team Coach, helping to guide the team to promotion as League One champions in 2011 and a highly creditable 4th placed finish last season, the club’s highest position for 30 years.

We wish him all the very best for the future and are confident he will have a long and successful career ahead of him.

Didn't see that coming to be fair.

Feel a bit gutted for him to be honest, really hope he finds a decent job to go to.

 

[Wardy]

I wonder if he was suspended because he was a key witness in the Gus situation. Now that is resolved and the new head coach bringing his own people in, he is no longer needed.

my wife's first comment on hearing this was "they have paid him off"

 

[Frutos]

Another step closer to this whole sorry mess being over and done with, we just need Gus's appeal to follow the due and correct course and we can close the book on this situation and move on.

Charlie has been a great servant to this club and will be missed....as for my personal opinion of his departure, it's impossible for any of us to really have one without knowing what it was that has caused us to reach this stage.

Same as Tanno, not shocked but a disappointing end

 

[dougdeep]

Such a shame. One of the nicest and funniest blokes I've ever met.

Just a sad state of affairs and shame he has left the club this way. Will we ever find out the reason why?

shame. i suppose we still dont know why either?

 

[Norman Potting]

Could anyone honesty see any other outcome?? I answered this thread as, although 3 started at the same time, this had the most posts. Merging from Mods required.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Six-and-a-bit weeks suspended, wasn't it, after 14 years' service?

Cheers, Charlie - good luck, mate.

 

[Pavilionaire]

To say this has left something of an "information vacuum" is putting it mildly.
