Your favourite... Moments of the RD regime & quotations from our very own Katrien

LuckyRedsLuckyReds
in General Charlton
As we celebrate the most magical celebrations of the year - Christmas and New Year - it's time to look forward to the next one.

On Sunday we celebrate a very special anniversary, a time where we throw out the left over Turkey and instead gorge on the delights of Waffles and Leffe; the time when we celebrate two wonderful years of our Belgian connection.

In preparation for the big day, let's all talk about our favourite moments from the last two years - specifically our favourite quotations and events.

(There is a reason behind this; I'm not just a glutton for punishment - honestly..!)

    I'll kick it off:

    -> January 2014, selling Yann Kermogant during the January transfer window and replacing him with Piotr.
    -> "I will really try to work with the fans as much as possible. [...] We need the fans. Charlton is no club without the fans - that I am well-aware of." - Katrien Miere, 9 April 2015 (South London Press)

    Well my favorite moment from the last 2 years was opening the package full of Charlton memorabilia that GlassHalfFull graciously sent to me and remembering how happy it made me feel. The regime has not filled me with any happy memories, nor do I beleive they have ever created any, so I'll respond with a moment that was "Proper" Charlton in a time where the Belgians haven't a clue what it means to be just that

    Bob Peeters doesn't get anywhere near enough recognition for some of the shite his reign served up.

    “We want to become a competitive Championship club, with Premier League ambitions and we need the supporters on board to be able to achieve that.

    “To be a sustainable club, we need to grow attendances, and that is something we can only achieve if we listen and talk to our fans on a continuing basis.

    All time classic that one. Listen and talk to fans? The woman can't even respond to emails whilst hiding behind a computer screen.

    “The five managers in that time have improved our results every time,” she said. “That has been proved right. Bob Peeters started very well and when results dropped, we acted.

    “We hope Karel Fraeye will change things and bring us back to mid-table which we have the squad for. We believe we have a better squad than our position. He has identified problems. We will give him all the help he deserves.

    "He has identified problems" - and hasn't don't anything about them, in fact has only made them even worse.

    "We will give him all the help he deserves". - then put him out of his misery.

    "What Charlton are looking for in a manager? Well he has to be tall, dark and handsome and have a good sense of humour."

    (Not verbatim) "I've actually been down to Sparrows Lane, and seen what Bob's been doing, and I can tell you he's got them playing some lovely, lovely stuff"

    Murray on Peeters' appointment.

    F***ing clown.

    Ah Richard Murray - a true success on managerial appointments. Dowie? Reed? Pardew? Good work Dickie old boy. Take a bow.

    So many to choose from. My top 5 in date order would be:

    1. Selling Kermogant and bringing in Polish Pete
    2. Thuram- so bad it was almost funny
    3. Letting Morrison go for free when he had years left on his contract
    4. KM personally taking pictures of the first car park demo- provocative and inept
    5. Varney email trail which highlights KM's rudeness and incompetence, and sweeps aside the idea that there's no alternative to RD

    Feel free to use any of these...

    The one I couldn't find was soon after the takeover (by Richard Murray, I think) regarding Duchatelet's financial backing and how it would mean that the club would never *have* to sell an academy product again.

    This seems quite at odds with Gomez and what we've heard recently regarding the club providing a testing ground and pathway to the Premier League for talented youngsters...

    Notice how often she uses the word "obviously" before a porky?

    I daresay we did have 20 applicants in an hour. If I had applied, we would have had 21 applicants.

    What lengths we went consider them is a different question.

    Watching this short clip made me realise that her stupid grin is a default facial expression. She'd be bad at poker though. I think she does it when she lies.
