Your favourite Regime comment

So many to choose from..

Was it being "weird" or unique" ?

How about when the protesters were labelled "the Negative 2%"

Maybe the one where Meire compared Luzon to Sir Alex Ferguson ?

Or when Peeters appointment was justified because he played for Millwall?

Or maybe it was "{....}" or just "huh" from Roland, or Karel being described as the "interim" head coach.

Then we get onto the players..

"try that one" - RD's advice to Powell before the Sheff United Cup Tie.

Or maybe "Solly is not good enough" or "Yann is not good enough" or "we got a transfer fee for Morrison"

And finally back to Pinnochio herself, and her famous comment that every new manager was a "success" because "it improved our ranking"

You couldn't make this stuff up

 

Here is my current favourite Regime Quote:

" They handed out papers to say how ****ty I was to my parents. And they hung up papers in my village" - Meire

 

Solly and Yann not good enough was a particular fav of mine from the clueless one

 

"I should not say this, but the history of the club- I do not care for it".

"My name is Katrien Meire. I am CEO of Charlton. Why do you think our club is badly run?"

"OK we got the managers and players wrong, that happens. That's why clubs get relegated. It doesn't mean everything else we did was ****ty"

"We had too many managers in a short time"

"Why can we not educate fans towards respect of everybody in the game?"

"Obviously (giggle) there were several candidates (giggle), but it became clear during the evening that he was the successful one"

 

one of the unsuccessful candidates (when Luzor was appointed) was your former hero Alan Curbishley (to the man on the train)

 

How about at the famous fans meeting with Rich Pemberton (), when she gave her poor Powerpoint presentation and was dressed like Marcel Marceau

To Pembers:

"Who is chairing this meeting, me or you? Just ask a question"

On the comment from Chris Powell that Duchatelet interferes in team selection:

'that would be mind-blowing"

 

Remember this lie after lie

 

Roland doesn't do failure.

 

Karel Fraeye was the mastermind behind our survival 20 months ago.

 

"Charlton's most famous fan actually followed me into the toilets. The bald lump."

 

' if you have a bad meal at a restaurant, do you shout at the owner?'

 

{....}

 

The every new manager one will be on her epitaph.

 

'We have learned from our mistakes'. Embarassing in itself, but they keep repeating it as if they think people will believe it next time.

 

So much lawyer-speak. So many misleading half-truths. Take all these statements together and add the fact that she clearly feels that she is entitled to get away with presenting a false picture whenever she likes, what you have is hubris of Ozymandias proportions. She should pay attention to the old saying Pride comes before a fall.

 

my personal favourite was the notes being passed to jacko during a game with instruction (probably from RD via stream) on how to play.

 

'We had 20 applications in half an hour'
Delivered with that stupid smile

And the most obvious lie of her reign

 

There's an interesting "Ted Talk", How to Spot a Liar. When liars smile like this, it's because they believe they've got away with it, and there are a couple of interesting examples. Our so-called CEO is another perfect example needless to say.

 

"We have learnt from our mistakes"

Having to repeat that over and over, every couple of months is the antithesis of learning your mistakes.

 

"Reaching the Premier League is our ambition"

- Meire. Feb 2014
