    Up until 4 weeks ago, Duchatelet was the owner who never engaged with his customers. Since then he has been forced to give a pathetically scripted interview to the O/S, albeit one containing more "huhs" than you would hear in a bad porn movie.

    This is now followed up by his laughable, poorly written rant on the O/S.

    I plead guilty to being one of the fans there on Sunday "intent on disruption"

    The statement just seems to stop. When I first read it I thought it had gone up prematurely with more to follow. But nope - that was it.

    Dear Roland,
    yes I know! I was as surprised as anyone on sunday. They had been so supportive until now. Do you remember when we arranged the childrens activities in the car park? Well, the fans were nothing short of wonderfull, dressing up as Disney characters. And when I said the discontents were only 2%? Well they were right behind me on thet. 2% ? You're having a laugh! they sang and sang at every match since then. And suddenly on sunday, they rebel.
    To be honest, I think they are a bit like naughty school children, playing pranks and misbehaving in front of the cameras. That charming M.Murray (he is still calling me 'Mon Cher', can you imagine?) said the thing with the balls is just a quirky English humour thing as the end of season draws near and the fans look forward to a break from the excitement of the Championship. Funny though, I don't remember them doing it other years. He also said that when they all walked out, it was an expression of supreme confidence in the team's ability to win without them. And it worked! We scored two minutes later.
    Anyway, I've had a chat with that Melissa woman you installed. Lovely lady, but I can't help feeling you already had me in that role. Anyway, she's got some great initiatives lined up. Remember that sex on the pitch video I had made. Well, we're going to do a follow up. But we think the first one was a bit 'old school' so this time we are having multiple couples, same sex groupings and animals! Never let it be said that Charlton are an old men's football club. I digress. We think the best thing to do would be for you to write a letter to the fans. No frills, just Grandad Roland addressing his much loved but errant nephews and nieces. Maybe a small slap on the wrist, but a genuine message from a much loved Elder statesman. You get the thing typed up and we¡ll have it on the internet in a jiffy.
    Wait till you see how they react (and if you can't get Charlton Life on the work PC, I'll send you a resume tomorrow lunchtime).
    Bon chance
    Kat

    My money is on Meire not being with us at the start of next season.

    Hurrah! However, my worry is on who would replace her, although they could surely not be any worse.

    You and the other 98%. I think that only 2% of the fan base actually support this regime. Ironic if you ask me.

    Leopards never change their spots- these two have got a healthy, inbred Belgian disdain for Charlton fans. That statement showed their true colours- petulant, arrogant, bewildered.

    We are definitely getting to them.

    Lots, lots more to come.

    Some fans want the club to fail? That would be the resistant 2% like colin and a2c, who bizarrely, want the current owners to continue, no?

    Which of those fans appointed Karel Fraeye, or signed Polish Pete, or let actors simulate a sex scene on the Valley pitch?

    or thought giving 'Relegator Roger' an 18 month deal was a good idea?

    ...or thought the Pie Cam and the Fan's Sofa would compensate for Christophe Le Point and Anil Koc.

    Probably the one who didn't actually attend the Valley on sunday, but wrote a weird statement about the fans a few days later?

    Or the one who mistook Rhys Williams for the experienced & match fit centre half that we desperately needed.

    According to Wikipedia his political party was called BANAAN, which stands for Better Seeking Alternatives than Doing Nothing in Apathy. So he must appreciate that we're doing exactly that (most of us).

    That or we can expect a bid for Barry Bannan.

    The phrase "some individuals"- did he not see the whole Valley rocking to "We Want Roland Out" for several minutes at the beginning?

    That sounds like a direct statement aimed at C.A.R.D. I've created a new banner, that I'm going to hold up during the Birmingham game. Maybe have it on a flag pole.

    Roland's timing is superb. Throwing insults at the fans while trying to sell season tickets! Still as our CEO said, ticket sales are only one third of the income. I think Roland will find out that the other two thirds will go down rapidly as well.

    It's been said the statement was a reaction to the non season ticket sales.

    He's cracking.
