I'm imagining myself in a locked room with Duchatelet. I am thinking violent thoughts, very violent thoughts. I can only imagine, now he has been totally proven wrong beyond even surely his own doubt, but he is not man enough to address the problems he has caused. He could do so quickly by replacing the manager and CEO with people who know what they are doing and can turn something toxic, into something more positive. Even a businessman who knows nothing about football would recommend such an action. This stubborn cowardly senile bastard, should be put in a home. Now where was I..........
Wow, a juice article today (this evening) in Belgium's most popular newspaper. Sums it up nicely ... The title reads: RD underestimated the Championship ...

We really need to get the Belgian press aware of the fact that there is going to be a mass protest at the game v Blackburn. Maybe turn it into a anti-Belgian theme ? to get their attention.
tdoeternietoe Let's face it: where sport starts and ends the sport. The problem with Roland is that he once again wants to prove that you can lead a football club as a business. That is not the case. You have a football club 20 egos that must work together, each with a view of supporters and performance of the "business" life be followed. The press is there still to boot top. In the intermodal business is still something else to it. 01/08/16 17:45 Abusive? Inappropriate? Let us know. BartuitHaacht You get that if the president does not know anything about football. And he is not alone. Throughout Europe you see that money does not mean you have success. By contrast, milk presidents if all clubs because it is about an investment and not about football. These people make the sport broken because it just nothing with sport has to do more.

Some reactions: 1. That's what you get when the chairman doesn't have a clue what football is all about. One sees this throughout Europe when Football is regarded as an investment. These kind of people destroy the sport ... 2. RD wants to prove time and time again that a club can be run as any other business, which is not the case. There's 20 ego's that have to work together, fans with an opinion, "company results" that are followed live on television. On top of this the press ... In another kind of business this is not the case. 3. RD underestimated things, but in the meantime he takes the profits, etc ... 4. RD appointed KM. She may well be a good lawyer, but has lost all sympathy of the fans as a result of poor communication and breach of confidence. On top of this, RD appointed a Coach out of the Belgian 3rd division. The way out is pretty obvious, but RD is a bit stubborn. He'd better listened to Bob Peeters instead of Katrien; 5. You can read that one ... it's in English ...

Thank you - is HLN a widely read source ?
HLN is the most commonly read newspaper in Flanders. The same journalist (probably a freelancer) sold this article to other newspapers too.
This is another article on the sports website (sporza) of the national television (Flemish spoken). It's written by a journalist who went to see Charlton play a couple of times (Tom BOUDEWEEL ). Maybe of interest to you ... he's got a twitter account and is on facebook. He's a sports journalist.
