    shouldn't we be expecting a recorded interview with a Junior Red at this stage?

    I cannot wait to see how she's going to try and spin the sacking of her Alex Ferguson, especially if they appoint another network reject.

    I'm hoping it's a resignation speech.

    That won't happen, KM is on her way up and is very ambitious ... Charlton is just a tick box on her CV in order to demonstrate that she has the ability to manage a medium-sized company. It won't take much spin on her CV to make her tenure look good.

    Unfortunately, like many of her ilk,she has no accountability.

    In all fairness she has presided over keeping us in the division on a significantly reduced budget. I can see her being appealing to other clubs that want to out perform based on their budget.

    I think the fact that she has made herself, and us by association, a laughing stock will not matter at all.
  • Oh Karel, I am but a fool as Buddy Holly told us.

    Hopefully 'she' will keep us in this division.

    Neil Sedaka. Sorry, I feel in a hair-splitting mood at the moment.

    Sorry, to split hairs here, but my next door neighbour, Mr Buddy Holly and his wife, Ethel, just came to our front door and said "Oh, Karel, I am but a fool". Ethel's husband is no relation to the famous singer also called Buddy Holly. You are quite right that Neil Sedaka is famous for the hit.

    New Charlton boss Karel Fraeye has changed his name to Charlie Fry so that fans can better relate to him.

    "Fans said they want an English boss so I think this will satisfy them" said the 37 year old.

    "I have bought a leather car coat, a bowler hat and plus fours as I understand that is how an English gent dresses" added the Belgium born Cockney

    "I've been watching a lot of Michael Caine movies and have got the accent off pat"

    "Your a big man but you're out of shape Watt" and "you're only meant to catch the bloody low shot, Pope" are believed to be some of Charlie's new coaching phrases.

    When asked about tactics Fry said he wasn't interested in any of "that foreign bollocks, we'll stick the ball in the mixer for the big guy and fight for the loose balls, show some passion and get stuck in".

    Richard Cawley is 94.

    "We received 30 CV's, we quickly narrowed down a shortlist of 5, they were Alan Curbishley, Paul Lambert, Brendon Rogers, Billy Davies and Karel Fraeye. It's easy to see that with Christmas coming up and the amount of games we have to play over the festive period only one name stood out!!!!

    She is just RD's puppet, no doubt on a wage tasty package, living and working in London and using us as a stepping stone. Once she moves on she will look back at her tenure as nothing more than a paragraph on her CV. She Possibly does not want us to fail and get relegated, & I do feel she has some passion of sorts for the club but it is after all a job. Apart from all that naive to the extreme and no realisation what a football club and its part within a culture/society means to all those that support it.

    Scarily I am expecting the official announcement to be something similar to this.
  • It'll be the usual "I'm running the football club, not you". "Don't tell me how to do my job". "I don't give a monkeys about the history of this 110 year old football club and its struggles in recent times". "I'm 31 years old and I know everything about everything, don't you dare question my strategy or business plan". "Why should I tell you what we are doing and why we are doing it, you're only a paying customer who has been coming here for 45 years!"
  • I'm hoping it's a resignation speech.

    Resignation would suggest she cares, has a clue about her massive inability to do the job, and was not supremely arrogant. Why resign when you see yourself as the next Karen Brady?

    'Passion'
    She had never heard of us before she was appointed and will not set foot inside The Valley once she goes.

    I have just read this and something struck me...'Did KM win the Belgium version of The apprentice?' She sounds very much like one of the contestants when you put a montage of her quotes together.
