It is strange that rd don't want Riga , this Bob fellow might be exactly what we're looking for , I'll judge him by what we bring in during the window and how he manages us in the first few games , I'm not gonna write him off like a few have already .
So Powell leaves because he can't agree on future plans and now Riga says the same thing hmmmm......
Yep, certainly one of the most alarming aspects to this. Bob Peeters could be the next Bill Shankly, but if he's not willing to tow the Duchatelet line he'll find himself out of a job pretty quickly.

We already had someone (Riga) who was exactly what the supporters and the players wanted. Sadly Roland sees it in a different way to the vast majority.
Actually, I've just read that "Riga also said that Duchâtelet is yet to offer him a job elsewhere but that they will sit down and have more extensive talks.". Which makes it sound like RD has a job for him elsewhere and thats why we have a new manager.

I do agree I liked Riga maybe he wants Riga for elsewhere sporting director at Charlton or standerd seeing as de sart is out of contract, Maybe rd is looking for the future long term so wants a young manager I.e 40 year old Bob
Now slightly concerned that it's being reported Riga couldn't agree on future plans with Duchatelet. I'm Jumping to conclusions but surely that can only be with regards to recruitment and retention ?
I doubt that Peeters is a yes man but it's more than likely now that we are going to have a head coach with little or no input in player acquisition. As asked before. Who is doing that ?
As someone here pointed out, maybe RD will send him back to Liege as they finished 2nd.
I agree that this all seems a bit of a mess and doesn't reflect well on RD ATM. But we will just have to wait and see, as long as we don't end up like Pompey/Hereford etc on the brink of liquidation and in free fall then I'm willing to give the guy a chance

Where does it say that they couldn't agree on future plans , as far as I can see rd just didn't offer him a new contract.
So many different assumptions and conflicting reports etc its ridiculous - i was actually told Riga would be with the academy, now he is not, then going to Milan before joining Fulham but might end up at Blackpool and Peeters denies any talks with Charlton but is flying to London to discuss terms but there is a back up name should all else fail.......................Only at FACKING CHARLTON
Chrissy couldn't agree on RD's plans and I pretty much predicted that Riga wouldn't - if my fears about RD came to pass - I don't know Bob Peeters, but he must have signed up. Aren't some of you optimists even slightly curious as to what bit/s they couldn't sign up to?

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 manager (head coach) kept us up in the league. He did fairly well here at the Valley. He was liked by both the fans and the players. Almost everyone wanted him to stay. He himself wanted to stay as well. Yet the owner decided to replace him with someone else. Has there ever been a case like this in the world of football before? I just read somewhere that Paul Lambert, Sam Allardyce and perhaps Alan Pardew are staying where they're, all of whom I thought would be sacked only a few days ago. The more I think about our own case, the harder I find it to believe.

@BeNeFoot: Riga ..and with better football. It's true I have received a lot of compliments from other coaches, the media and the club. #cafc
@BeNeFoot: Riga also said that Duchâtelet is yet to offer him a job elsewhere but that they will sit down and have more extensive talks. #cafc
Mmmm Swiss Cheese
Another option is Johan Walem. Belgium u21
Looks a better bet imo
maybe he wants Riga for elsewhere sporting director at Charlton or standerd seeing as de sart is out of contract,

Who knows really until the press condense .
