    If I had any respect for the man I might take offence. But being criticised by him, means I must be doing something right. BTW I am an old fart but I am certainly not hypocritical. The posting on CL was just a leg pull it doesn't deserve the personal insults. But that is Reams modus operandi, if anybody puts up a contrary view to the Oracle, they get threatened or personal abuse. He hasn't got the intellect to argue his case so he resorts to name calling. Behaviour that is more typical of an eleven year old in a playground.

    Interesting article from Ben Roberts. Now we know why he left.


    - I would have left Charlton this summer, even if a move to Brighton had not happened.
    - I needed to get out. Four managers in 18 months has taken a toll especially Powelly.
    - I should have gone when Powell went, but there are good people at the club, like Keith Peacock who gave sound advice
    - Something does need to change in the process. Whether it will, i'm not sure.
    - I needed a fresh start. I let the CEO know that at the end of the season.
    - Brighton came up and changed my thought process immediately. I went to meet the CEO last week and told her my time at Charlton was done.
    _ I'm not sure how they will do on the pitch (Charlton). Have to see what the owner has in mind. The infrastructure is improving. Hopefully it will translate onto the pitch.

    Nah don't worry about it. It's all in hand init. Ben Roberts lies. Katrien is the best thing since.... Roland.

    more and more decent people leave the club. people who are well thought of in the game, all being pushed out because of a refusal to adapt to our culture/club. they're all going on to better clubs, clubs who finish higher. you cannot turn a club in s.e. london into a belgian powerhouse. we are in a better league than the top league in belgium and their business model wont fit our business. never seen such a failure to adapt since my last boss, who failed to adapt to electronic audit trails which outed him as a thief.

    One thing you notice about KM is that when see challenged she gets ultra defensive and then arrogant.

    Roberts doing this will only convince her that Roland's vision is right and he is wrong.

    But it's fine. A video of another chairman on the day they were promoted as champions to the premier league, waxing lyrical about her, tells us everytging is A ok

    Funny that all of the ex club employees and long term fans are wrong about the Belgian mob...and a few dandruff flecked anoraks and Katrien Meire are right...
