It’s easy to claim that Tucadean, Petrucci, Koc, Nego, Makienok, Tudgay, Kai Kai, Zyro, Thuram and Sarr etc etc are good enough to get you to the Premier League...when you never go and see them play. #deluded
...and claim that he employed a genius footballing CEO, gave us a great new team manager every few months, then topped all this off with type of players you mentioned... How on earth did he fail...
Another genius appointment...The players signed and listed above say all that needs to be said about him. How many RD players have we retained under his 4 year leadership...The basis of our current squad was amassed after he gave up on his experiment. Once the rubbish & loan players are moved on the Manager is left with having to rebuild the squad, with the usual RD restrictions. There has never been any positive momentum under him. No wonder Murray likes him... #FellowEgotist.
Dushitelet has shelled out a lot of dough on players, a shame that the majority of them have been carthorses.
It's a mutual admiration society. In the same interview he described Murray as a "Super guy" or something similar.
Patrick Bauer (signed July 2015) Ahmed Kashi (signed July 2015) Naby Sarr (signed July 2015) Igor Vetokele (signed June 2014) are the last survivors of our first two and a half seasons (pre-relegation) under Roland Duchatelet. Chris Solly is the only survivor of the pre-Duchatelet era now that Johnnie Jackson has retired from playing. Solly and Jackson were the last two since summer of 2016 as far as I recall - which was only two and a half seasons after RD bought the Club.
Patrick Bauer - Injury prone... Overrated considering the mistakes he makes. Ahmed Kashi - Long-term injury, so hasn't been in the shop window long enough to be sold Naby Sarr - Cost a fortune, and is not going anywhere because no other team would fall for it Igor Vetokele - On our books but doesn't play for us...He's good enough but not needed because we've been bursting at the seems with quality strikers since he left. Chris Solly - If he could pass a fitness test he would've been sold ages back Jackson - Old As said no positive momentum with squad building under Duchatelet. #Loser
All true. Bauer is a decent stopper at League 1 level but would struggle for pace in the Championship. Kashi decent on his day but another player fvcked by the legendary CAFC medical dept Ditto Igor - shot to pieces now and more spare tyres than Kwik Fit Solly - destined to be a one club man because his knees will prevent a move. Sarr has been a joke and an utter waste of money from Day 1 - a Thomas Driesen Play station special.
But we're only 'silly football fans' what do we know...We analyse facts, yet he blocks them out if they make him look bad. In his mind the thousands of protesting fans at all his Clubs never had a point, or never existed...
Just to comment on Duchatalet's latest work of fiction. He had already been given ample warning that the fans were not impressed with his management in the years before we tumbled into tier 3. There were the usual platitudes from Meire that mistakes had been learnt from, and a new approach would occur. To be fair, we did try some British managers, though it seemed as if their natonality was pretty much what got them the job. However, to even begin to blame the fans or suggest that Duchatalet would have taken us up into the Prem if the fans had been more docile is to take spin to whole new levels. We saw the transfer window close last summer with one recognised striker on our books. One!! Did the fans do that? Plenty of us pointed out the madness of such a lopsided squad. Or was it somehow the fans fault that a multi millionaire like Duchatalet preferred to mount a promotion challenge with a squad incapable of doing so. According to SR, the last year saw a turning of the corner in both attendances and also club structure. So after years of protests, Duchatalet actually started to prepare a better level of management and squad? No, sorry. He never had any interest in promotion. If we failed to do better because of the fans, it is simply that the fams wrath provoked him into making even less effort than before to gain success, even at the cost of increased losses to himself. I hope we hear no more of his feble, pathetic, childish excuses. He was a joke owner, and when the sale goes through, he will leave as probably the richest owner we have ever had, and also the most moronic, and unsuccessfull. Roland doesn't do failure? Ha ha ha.
I've never met you, and as far as I know I've never had any exchanges with you. I'm not sure if you make a habit of abusing people online when you've never met them, but I hear you've been banned from both CL and Into The Valley, so who knows. I'm not 'by my own admission a lifelong Millwall fan'. Neither have I decided to cash in on my family name. I supported Millwall when I used to go to home matches with my granddad when he was a director of the club. This was 1964 to 1966, until JS died. I was 8 or 9 at that time. We were very close. I lost interest in football a year or two later, but always followed the teams he was connected with: mainly Spurs and Charlton, but i also checked on the results of Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall . I also lived near QPR and had a season ticket there, although when they played Charlton found myself wanting the Addicks to win. My family had the closest links with Charlton of course, but we was always felt that JS wasn't treated well by the club after his sacking, and it was clear that he was an unhappy chap during his final years, and I saw that first hand as I lived in his house at that time. I didn't expect to become a passionate Charlton fan, but while my mum was dying of dementia, her final recollections were about her wartime experiences, and her love of Charlton. When she died I wanted my sons to learn more about our link to the club so I took my youngest to a Charlton match and we both became hooked, together. In my case, unexpectedly. I've always been massively proud of my grandad, and wrote a book about his time in management, when I was a student in the mid seventies. I don't really know what else to say. Other than the comment about my misspelling of 'place' as 'plaice' missed the fact that there had been a lot of fish puns on CL. Which is typical of CL and an example of why I like it. And yes to the Millwall fan who said I was too trainspottery to be a Millwall fan ;-) Your posts about me, and others from CL, on here, serve as a reminder as to how far Charlton have to go as a club before we can hope to be united as one group of fans again. The level of vitriol is something I never expected when I started posting. I'm not sure what I've done to provoke comments like yours, but I would hope that one day you'll be able to move on from your hatred of certain individuals and get behind the club, which is really all any of us want to do.
Not sure if that was aimed at me, but looking through some of the posts, I'm not sure it would be a good idea. I only joined because I heard someone was trolling me. It's all quite sad imho.
You clearly have a high opinion of yourself James and possibly come across as a little self regarding ? Had I undergone the reverse footballing epithany that you experienced in your 60s, I probably would have avoided lecturing lifelong Charlton fans on how to support Charlton, a trap you repeatedly fall into in your 50 posts a day on CL and your winsome Twitter contributions. Get a few seasons under your belt first and remember the old maxim “less is more”. And I think we’ve all cottoned on now that you are Jimmy Seed’s grandson. Thanks.
