Nice to hear it from somebody who was privvy to what was going on, confirming what we all knew. Doesnt bode well as it appears RD is hell bent on appointing his yes man. We survived with just one game to go with a squad that as AD says was good enough (just about). We would be marking the likes of Fleetwood, Rochdale and Chesterfield in our map books now if RD was actually picking the team. This is no way to run a football club that is looking to progress. RD is willing to use us as a sacrificial lamb to palm off his cast offs onto for the better of SL, there is no chance he wants Charlton Athletic to progress with his current strategy.
Just read it. Duchatelet "pestered" Powell over team selection. Next week's exclusive: The Earth is not flat after all.
No surprise, like many fans I thought this was the main reason the last two managers got dumped... Roley is playing a numbers game, the more tickets he has the more chance he has of getting a good pay off... The academy investment is purely to line his pockets in the future, and has nothing to do with wanting success for the club...
We're all doooooomed. Now it's out in the open. FESN is a bunch of computer geeks. We have a madman in charge.
Not a madman just a Belgian Nationalist.... he is just trying to build up SL and is using the Network to do it.... once Diego said he didn't want to go to Belgium then he was toast and the Douche just wants his £400k Dev Fee, he isn't that bothered about Diego playing for Charlton next season. Let's face it Katrien Meire is just there to make tea! not to negotiate new contracts and certainly not there to talk to fans.
Frighting isn't it..? They would probably fit in nicely with the "football management gamers", found on most football forums...
KM was going about her job when she joined though, and I said at the time RD was preventing her from aspects of it. Maybe she fell in line, but it's obvious he is a very controlling man.
When she did her speech at one of the games, during the Sea of Red, all I could hear was our own fans singing, WE ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH, WE ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH.
Whatever you think of Dyer, it is impossible to escape the conclusion from his comments that RD wants a 'yes man' in charge. E mailing & phoning the manager to put pressure on team selections is poor, to say the least. Dyer also thinks that Jose Riga may have told RD the Network players were wrong 'uns.
He wouldn't have had to say much, his team selection did all the talking... Anyone with any football judgement knows that the only two players that helped us last season were AA & Reza, and they had their drawbacks...
Just been reading the response to this on other forums... Dyer throws up a few home truths, which most fans claim they suspected all along, but rather than take that info on board, some of our fans have simply brushed it aside, shelled out a load of unrelated personal abuse, and completely dismissed the ramifications of this latest daft Roley strategy... We may all support the same club, but this is a prime example of why groups within the support don't work for me...
After reading about the madhouse that CP was working in after the January sales you'd need to have a heart of stone not to feel some measure of sympathy, even V-a-v. It was a manager's worst nightmare.. My feelings at the moment are let's hope RD gets us in the black and sells up ASAP.
