I assume he will be more of a yes man than Riga. So if my fears are right - we are going to lose Hamer, Morro, Dervitte and Poyet and bring in hungry young players like Peter the Pole - identified by RDs scouting operation - who are more mysterious to us than the freemasons. The model will be that we survive with some of these young players impressing enough to bring in the money for us to break even through sales. I hope I'm wrong but I sort of knew Riga wouldn't fit RDs plans - he's too good a manager basically - RD needs a yes man coach - which Riga demonstrated clearly to us that he wasn't.
I could be wrong of course, but hands up who is hopeful?
yeah deffo a great plan, get rid of the club legend, that'll stir up some fun, put some guy in who'll scrape us home by the skin of our teeth and then replace him with some Spanners Reject. I'd have rather had Dennis Bloomin' Wise. #laughingstock
He was a potential yes man and he quickly proved he wasn't - from the first game actually when he picked Hamer above Thuram. Ok, I get your point - we will find out next season. But it is reasonable to speculate that Peeters will be - he doesn't have the same pedigree as Riga and is hardly being successful at a smaller club! Doesn't sound like the sort of manager the owner has to make promises to.

I thought you was worried and negative because we wasn't signing any players and didn't have a manger , now we look like signing a manager your even more worried ? Not argueing just bit confused.

I can only assume you're either being sarcastic, or weren't paying any attention to the run under Riga. Seven wins out of sixteen games is hardly 'scraping home', he did just about everything realistically expected of any manager in that position - much better form than the club legend had managed all season. And spanners reject? Okay, but then Curbs was presumably a West Ham reject, Powell was a Palace reject also, right? He's not exactly club legend material over there.
The good news is I'm not overly impressed and am usually wrong.
Who'd have thought Lennie Lawrence (no track record), would have been a legend ?
Who'd have thought Alan Curbishley (no track record), would have been a legend ?
I thought Dowie might have been ok.
I was ecstatic when we appointed Pardew.
Riga ? I'd never heard of him & wasn't optimistic.
So let's wait & see. He's not even been appointed yet.
But according to AFKA's post above - it's not that he's got "no track record" but that he's got a poor track record....
According to the Belgian people Iv spoke to he's done well apart from 11 games at gent.
I’m just going on what AFKA posted, but what you say sounds a bit like the opposite of ‘what have the Roman’s ever done for us’ – apart from finishing 3rd from bottom at his current club, losing all their last 4 games and winning just 1 in their last 9, a mediocre couple of seasons at Cercle Brugge, and not winning a single game in his 11 in charge at Gent (after which under a new manager Gent stayed up with 12 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats in their last 18 games) – “he's done well”?
I havnt got time to go back through the pages but I'm not sure them stats tally up with what the Belgian fan wrote on here earlier , anyway apart from stats Iv only heard good things I wanted Riga but I'm gonna back this guy because he's got a good reputation even if the stats ain't the best. That's even if he's appointed lol
Name in home country: Robert Peeters Date of birth: Jan 10, 1974 Place of birth: Lier
Bob Peeters is very respected as a football analyst here in Flanders (Northern part of Belgium). He speaks Flemish, similar to Dutch, without the Austin Powers- Goldmember accent (so not "yesh", Mr McMoist ). I'm a fan of Royal Antwerp FC myself, currently in Belgium's 2nd division. Some 35 years ago, when Antwerp FC was a top club we had a young player who really wasn't well enough to have a regular spot in the first team. Maybe you heard about him: a Dutchman called Louis Van Gaal. My point is: if some of you remember Bob playing in the UK, that's one thing. He's one hell of a good coach now. Just give the guy a chance ... I hope you get some good players for next season too ...

Not the greatest of records but not terrible considering he's not been at the greatest teams , like I said he's very highly rated despite not having the best stats .

Like an episode out of eastenders all this just can't work it out lol,
Jose Riga has decided to walk away from his job with Championship Charlton Athletic, his advisor has confirmed to Sky Sports.
After failing to agree on the club's future plans with owner Roland Duchatelet, Riga - whose contract was only until the end of the season - is leaving The Valley.
The 56-year-old took over from Chris Powell in March with the club at the foot of the table but he managed to galvanise the Addicks squad and lead them to safety with a record of eight wins, three draws and six losses.
Now Riga has decided to walk away, but the one-time AC Milan academy chief is hoping to get another job in England.
Riga: Kept Addicks in Championship "Jose has loved his time in England and has showed just how good a coach he is. Keeping Charlton up was not easy at all," his advisor Chris Nathaniel of NVA told Sky Sports.
"It was a tough thing for Jose to leave Charlton, but he is already looking to the future and is hopeful of getting a job here, and we have already had some contact from clubs about his availability."
Sky Sports understands that Riga is already on the radar of Championship club Blackpool, after they learned he was leaving Charlton and keen to remain in England.
Reports in Belgium suggest former Millwall striker Bob Peeters - currently in charge at Waasland-Beveren - is set to take charge at Charlton.
When contacted by Sky Sports, Charlton refused to comment.

Does that mean he has no pro qualifications ?
Few suggestions that Jose Riga didn't want #cafc job. Opposite is true.
