    Do you not see a problem with that?

    If he thinks Luzon, who was "disastrous" for Liege, is a better coach than Riga who saved us from relegation last year then clearly the man is an utter fucking idiot
    I do indeed! RD is operating in isolation and is prioritising his relationship with Luzon over and above the absolute no-brainer that Riga should guarantee survival (again) and, I believe put us on a path to 75 points in 2015-16 if we got lucky and they signed the right players. I have been consistent in my support of the deals done last summer and this could be repeated?

    Unlike many I have an open mind about Luzon and Liege last season as they were top of their league 12 months back and only screwed up in their final Anderlecht fixture. I haven't watched a single Liege game. I've heard from Liege fans who are seething because of RD lack of comms and the fact they lost out to Anderlect.

    Point is RD cashed in and caused a car crash this season over there. His only way out short of a fire sale of the club was to throw Luzon to the lion!

    Trouble is we are stuck watching this nonsense and giving the guy a job. When you juxtapose that with Riga's appointment plus zero talent arriving at Cafc this week... Well ffs

    Get your facts right he was offered the job at charlton but refused it .. His family at the time lived in Milan who did not want to move to London or live in the capital .
    facts from Riga himself
    "Get your facts right" Did Colin just say that.

    Now you are claiming Riga was offered the job but turned it down. First time you've ever said that but you got it from Riga himself. Funny you didn't say that was the case yesterday.

    You really do have issues about remembering what you claimed to be true yesterday let alone a few months ago.

    Carry on posting, you cheer me up at a depressing time.
  • Good luck Jose....what a carry on this is.
  • And for us, Ivan Vukomanovic, is next in the line after Luzon. Then maybe Riga again but then again it might just stop at Vukomanovic.
    You didn't think we were getting all these Serbs on our books for no reason at all, did you?
  • It is all getting very strange indeed.

  • Bit harsh, Colin's harmless really!
  • Colin is a WUM, I find it amusing how he puts a positive spin on everything network related
  • Vukomanovic next Charlton manager then.
  • Good luck Jose. I like you but this does make you a bit of a tart!

    sounds like he would be an improvement

    Anyone would be an improvement.

    Or maybe he's very brave. If he can't maintain the revival that Vuko achieved (28 pts from 13 games), the Liege Ultras will go thermonuclear. It will be fascinating to watch the results over the next month or two.
  • Not doing too badly. 3-0 up inside half an hour of his first game back
  • The old manager wasn't sacked because of results though so Riga hasn't got the toughest job on his hands there.
  • A 3 - 0 win is not a bad start at all. Shame he's not our manager/head coach.

  • Hmm. 4 goal attempts on target vs. 2, so not exactly one way traffic. Another clean sheet for Thuram, otherwise no signs of the Belgian Parachute Regiment, even among the subs. The other team have now lost 7 in a row, all in the league.

    Honestly even without a coach you could win against that team. And in two days there is no way that Riga could have change anything. He only put the names on a sheet and tried to give tactical feedback to the players. The next match will be more interesting to see what he can do.
    BUT the issue we had at Liège was that we have no striker. We just got one so of course it will be easier for Riga.
    Imagine that you played the whole season without Vetokele, that's what we did until yestersay.

    We've played half of it with an unfit Vetokele, does that count? Seriously, I like Riga and am pleased for him that his first game was a win. Would have been awful if his first game had been a 5 - 0 defeat.
