Luzon's record with Israel U-21's and Standard Liege was good. Ditto with us in 2014-2015. With hindsight the morale at the club and in the dressing room dipped in late August when we didn't top up the summer additions with some quality loan signings. Once the injuries kicked in our squad wasn't strong enough. That is Duchatelet's fault. If we end up with McKay.......well, he certainly worked with peculiar owners at Cardiff City and got them into the play-offs + the League Cup final + automatic promotion. Personally I'd sooner it was Poyet.
Cardinal Sin Member 7:27PM Duchalet has to go but that will take time and he has the money to stay as long as he likes. A change of Chief Exec is desperately needed. Meire is out of her depth and has presided over a catalogue of poor decisions and even worse PR. At least a competent CEO should be able to get the club functioning properly in the background and the fans more onside. Flag Quote
Don't hold your breath, she's arrogant, and lies, lies and lies again, all the time with that silly grin on her stoopid face.
and if you say any of this to her face you get branded a bully and a sexist.
Listening to Collymore coming home. Included us in clubs that 'are rotten to the core'. He has it bang on. A manager needs to pick his own players. Needs to have players he wants. If he gets it wrong then, so be it. A new manager will not solve the problem. But he did have to go.
Its obvious RD doesn't have a clue about British football, he doesn't even come and watch games - LIVE - watching on a TV is not a good way of checking on your investment. The bloke is an idiot and I'm surprised he has made anything a success, but he WILL NOT take my club down and out!!
Is a caretaker not normally announced at this time by the way? Will the players have anyone in charge at training or just chaos. A sign they have someone (probably Malky) nearly done?
So from what I can deduce we've got a racist bigot as favourite to take over or someone from the depths of RD's backside (sorry the network). McKay did a good job with Cardiff, and I would only hope that Wigan were on a downward curve and the racism allegations were hanging over his head were affecting his ability to do the job. But I'm not inspired at the thought of the next few days as RD and KM start the lies again
Would be an honour to see Curbs or lennie back again! We have all had a terrible 2 home games following Charlton this week!!! The good times will come!!! COYR!!!!!
How do you lose the dressing room when every one who has been fit has Played over the last 3 weeks ?
I hope JBG,Moussa and Watt put some decent money in Guy's leaving collection because if any one of them had scored from very good chances in the 1st 15 minutes we could and should of been out of sight and Brentford would of had a mountain to climb.
Unless it's Riga, they must go for a British Manager who knows the championship. As Luzon,Martane and Matthew have gone we must have the new Head/coach and team starting Monday or other wise Jason Euell will be stepping up from the Academy for a few days.
Good luck to Guy and his Family and thanks for the memory of your swallow jump at the end of the Hull game.
Good decision, I wish the 3 of them well as I don't like seeing anyone lose their job. But in football terms for years I have thought we have lacked something in terms of buildup up play and possession. Opposition teams who come to the valley constantly seem better coached in terms of tactics and keeping possession so starting the whole coaching side of things again isn't a bad thing.
As for Roland out, take a look at the programme. Only a mad man would take on our running costs. Yes it would be nice if Roland spent another few million to give us a bigger squad but thats unlikely and at least he is investing in the infrastructure and club as a whole. Roland doesn't do himself any favours with the poor communication with the fans though at least put something out there regarding his aims.
New man ideally to have previous experience in the Championship...

As much as MacKay wouldn't be on my own short-list, at least he knows the division, he knows what it takes to get a team promoted. He might have some contacts within the game where he can beg, borrow or steal a player. It will be a step forward in my opinion. I'm not keen on the whole racist/homophobic stuff that came out, but I'm willing to let it slide provided we don't see any of that again.
What are the alternatives? Another unknown quantity that has been on RD's payroll previously who knows next to nothing about our game?

I feel sorry for Guy. He saved us from a downward spiral last season and had a good start to this season. Injuries screwed him up and no team would be able to cope with 8 first teamers injured - no matter what strength in depth unless you're City/Arsenal etc.
He's been given an ultimatum in the week and has played players that are unfit today and it's showed. He's subsequently been sacked. It is a shame for him and it's a shame for us.
Damian Matthews is a top bloke but he's been here for a while now and we haven't done too much over the last few years so it makes sense to also get rid of him.
I wish them both well for the future. They're young coaches and hopefully we get someone in who can put some confidence back in the squad.
Makes me ill to see what's happening. This is not Charlton Athletic. It's just a couple of Belgian incompetents presiding over a team which happens to wear red shirts and plays its home games at The Valley.

Nobody could afford to buy the club. Too much debt had to be wiped out.
Experienced players have beaten us in the last two games.
We need somebody who can see the shortcomings of some of the players and get rid.
at least it won't be Steve Evans (unless Leeds have sacked him already!)
RD's gone and thrown the baby out with the bath water.

He is right though.
I don't get it.
