Dean Holden explains conversation with former Charlton COO Jim Rodwell before match at Peterborough
Dean Holden revealed why he was seen in conversation with former Charlton chief operating officer Jim Rodwell before this evening’s game with Peterborough United.
Rodwell was brought into the club as part of the failed Charlie Methven takeover attempt shortly before Christmas. The ex-Sunderland employee was one of three senior appointees to leave The Valley earlier this month following the breakdown of talks between current owner Thomas Sandgaard and Methven’s group.
Holden was spotted chatting with Rodwell before the match and explained: “Jim Rodwell worked at Peterborough for a period of time before he came to Charlton Athletic. I’ve not seen him since [he left].
“We were working closely, myself, Jim, Andy Scott (former technical director) and the other guys. Then two and half weeks ago, overnight, that was it. I’ve not seen any the guys since then. Jim came to the game with Ed (Warrick, former finance director).
“Ed is a big Peterborough fan. They both live local. Think Jim just wanted to get out of the house and watch a game of football. He came over to say hello pre-game. Just a general chit-chat, really.”
