Owners rarely sack the manager without having someone in mind. I fully believe that Malky Makay was that someone but the reaction by some of our 'ever so precious' support has no doubt made them think twice. If that is the case then it would seem that RD & KM are trying to make an appointment this time that will appease the majority.
Interesting that Mark Stow is the new Club Scout and was previously with Malky at Watford and Cardiff
Fraeye to be confirmed as Head Coach by weekend supposedly.
But why not now, or 1 minute after the meeting this evening has finished?
Because there's an international break and it's over two-weeks until our next home fixture. Yes, Katrien Meire is that naive and thinks we're all fickle and stupid and will forget about it by the Ipswich game. Oh how wrong you are Katrien.

Is it really "ever so precious" to articulate an opposition to the recruitment of someone whose racist, homophobic and sexist communications have been widely discussed and not denied? If so, then I apologise. But I won't stop being "ever so precious", if an abhorrent, nasty, cruel and disgusting twerp gets the top job at my football team.
I don't for one moment think that anything I have written on here would have made the Charlton board members change their minds about hiring Makay. But, I would be very, very proud if it had.
If my being "ever so precious" causes you more offence than a racist, then I think you need to re-calibrate, because I won't.

Is that officially confirmed re Mark Stow? I've missed that, if so. What's his track record?
Metz now topping French Div 2, so our old friend Riga is doing pretty well?
Typical Riga results as well. Only one game has had more than three goals and that was a 2-2 draw. All 2-1, 2-0, 1-0 wins with the odd 0-0 and 1-1. I still don't understand why he wasn't kept on.
Hamme won their first post KF game 4-1 away to Bomme or someone like that. Players obviously putting in a shift with hope of getting a move to the Championship

It was mentioned on another thread . Maybe that's why we signed Doyley. I only know that he worked for Watford and Cardiff .
Have it on pretty good authority that Fraeye is going to be appointed permanently. Hardly ground-breaking news, I know.
Extremely credible source. Please don't ask me to name.
Well knock me down with a feather, - you mean our angelic CEO has been telling us porky pies?
I have believed KF would be appointed since the beginning. Benelux is best could be RD's motto.
Sadly I feel it will be extremely difficult/impossible for any manager to succeed with the present club structure as set up by our megalomaniac dear owner.
Only when players, coaches, fans & staff feel they are all 'singing from the same hymn sheet' can progress be made.
Just my opinion after 53 bruising years of supporting cafc. COYR

A nose rubbing moment right at the end of the meeting?
It's well within her!
"And I'd like to thank you all for coming this evening. I heard all your thoughts on how to improve the clob going forward but won't take any of them on board. We payed our money now you can lump it. As a special bonus to you lucky few I'd like to reveal the results of our extensive new manager search. Please give a warm Welcome to Karel Fraye. So long suckers"
They consider the likes of Paul Lambert and Nigel Pearson not good enough for them while we're worrying about the possibility of having Karel Fraeye as permanent head coach. The names mentioned by those Fulham fans are much higher profile managers. Probably not exactly right to draw a comparison between us and them seeing as we're way below them on the table at the moment. That said, we finished several places higher than them last season. I'm just thinking that what our owner/CEO will do is perhaps more like buying lottery tickets: the only hope that we can have now is Duchatelet or Meire finds someone not just cheap but more importantly good enough. The 'cheap' tag is guaranteed but 'good enough'? Erm... we can only count on luck....
They have a classic case of we're too big for this level syndrome. It makes sufferers think they are bigger and better than they actually are after falling out of the Best League In The World™. They then become deluded and start to believe that said league actually misses them. Norwich, Hull, QPR and now Fulham have fallen victim. The only remedy is another relegation, it knocks the arrogance out of everyone.
At the Fulham away game last year some prick I was speaking to on the train had the temerity to say that "it must be great for us to play at the cottage".

Half the clubs in the PL need to realise that they are on loan to the PL, not permanent members, and that when they drop out the "best league in the world" will continue quite happily without them
Sadly many owners are as deluded as the supporters

Could not commit due to family reasons ...
But weirdly got over them to take another job.
And one much further away from Belgium (instead of being a Eurostar trip home)...
Riga was also available when Peeters was sacked but wasn't hired. Not for Charlton at least. Turned up at Standard a fee weeks after Luzon was appointed.
What odds can I get on Bob Peeters as next Charlton manager?

I just don't get this...our motivational talk came from a BRITISH RSM, not KF. We played the best we have in ages, if as some people say KF is a good coach why didn't he change to the diamond against MK Dons? I believe, rightly or wrongly, that last Saturday was a combination of....supporters protest, RSM motivational speech and KF changing formation after consulting with JE. Therefore get a British manager in....keep KF as coach or scout and give a full-time 1st team role to JE. If not I think we will suffer again under KF, as others have one swallow etc etc.

You're talking rubbish.
I came back from Blackburn away last season and had an exchange with her on the train as it was approaching Euston.
I said that when you are successful at work you are rewarded with promotion, this I repeated 3-4 times. 3-4 times Meire repeated back to me that he was rewarded, and rewarded financially.

And if we carry on winning a lot of people will be happy with that.
Underlying problem will remain though and in a fee months the issues will resurface.

It MIGHT work but I have my doubts, certainly if the results do not change, Saturday aside that is!
