Riga having been not renewed 3 times by Duchatelet
Riga's contract was not renewed at Charlton.
RIGA RESIGNED FROM LIEGE BOTH TIMES !
No need to shout. I am not deaf @Covered End. Be interested to hear your information / link on the resigning thing.
Did Riga choose to leave Liege both times ?
Perhaps Duchatelet advised Riga that his contract was not going to be renewed and gave Riga the opportunity to leave instead of being fired ?
Apologies, but your the umpteenth person on this thread to say that Duchatelet sacked Riga twice.
First time Riga resigned and went to Qatar (presumably for the money).
Second time he resigned, as a protest against the weak squad.
Its Ok thanks for response. I have not ploughed through the whole thread. I read Chicago Addick and Drinking during the game blogs who mentioned it as being fired. Probably why so many people have that impression too.
Whatever the story, working for Duchatelet, Riga knows the story and that he will be working with limited resource. If Riga doesn't go for it, I can see them going for Peter Taylor, who would be very cheap for Duchatelet as well. That would see Charlton relegated for sure. The only person, I can see who might manage it, is someone like Steve Clarke, who according to Elfsbourg was at FA Cup, as was Peter Taylor. No inside knowledge, just guessing at the next mad move alongside the rest of us.
No announcement yet - three big points thrown away tomorrow night. Send in the clowns!
The trouble is the extent of the regime's knowledge of the league it's just another game to them and they probably don't see any difference between Huddersfield and Hull away
If Fraeye is there tomorrow then presume he remains. Can't see he would go that way and subject himself to more humiliation if told he was being replaced.
KM has been interviewing Gert Dem Owt from Belgian 5th Division strugglers KFC Kockwombel - "We have heard the supporters loud & clear" said the Charlton CEO, "they have been standing and telling us they want Dem Owt for the last few weeks. We feel that his record of lower table mediocrity with Kockwombel is ideally suited for our long term vision of totally destroying this proud old South East London club."
Anyone but Frayed,not just Fraeyed at the edges but all the way to the middle, any replacement is going to need to not just be able to darn the Fraeyed edges but also rejuvenate the centre of the cloth.
I honestly get this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach thinking about Karal Fraeye managing Charlton. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt when he first came to the club, even though his appointment at the time seemed ludicrous. However he has proven himself to be inept with his strange formations to his even stranger substitutions.
It's absolutely disgraceful that he continues to remain in the job, and an insult to people who have worked hard to earn their job when he has seemingly waltzed into this position with literally NO experience to prove that he deserves to be there.
When we see Riga arrive at Huddersfield in a brand new Roller, with gorgeous supermodels alongside him, we'll understand that the delay was caused by him setting out his conditions for taking the job
It may not have been possible for Riga to take charge at Huddersfield, in which case I am not sure it would have been sensible to announce he was taking over subsequently.
At the same time the SLP story has bought them a little time, as there would have been meltdown with Fraeye still in post and no sign of change. Not that I think they are that clever...
Can't imagine them having Fraeye in charge against Blackburn unless there are two remarkable results in the meantime.

Conventionally, if Riga had been announced today, then he probably wouldn't have taken control of the Huddersfield game anyway, as being too soon.
Unfortunately, that's the more important game. We can only hope that the return of the experienced players leads to an improvement
Interested to read your article about the return of Riga and would be interested to know when your source expected this to happen.
Should Riga not have decided to join in the end, would you question whether your source is out of their depth and certainly not fit to be an executive of a Championship football club either personally or in your paper?

He'd point out that his story didn't say it would definitely happen before Huddersfield, just that it could.

“Riga looks set to return” – “Riga may be asked” – “The Addicks could move before Tuesday’s game. “ Full of and's if's and maybe's
Riga is 100% back. Do like him BUT to me having him back just shows total and utter contempt for the fans again.The next appointment after Riga will be interesting.

This is soooo true. It is an absolute disgrace that someone with no credentials, like Fraeye, could be hired by someone with no qualifications, like Meire, both working for someone with no clue, like Roland.

I can almost garuntee the appointment after Riga will NOT be interesting in the slightest
Lemme guess, riga till th end of the season to hold fort and keep us up so that the belgian national coach fella can finally take up his long awaited role as head coach of charlton athletic?

What i meant was Roland has no more friends after Riga, unless of course they do a Mrs Doubtfire job on Luzon.

The fact that it hasn't makes me pretty sure KF isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Better start getting used to the fact that we will be playing in Div 1 next season (possibly swapping places with the Gills).

Can we get the SLP to run how and why this was published. Would be unbelievably embarrassing for the club and Meire in particular.
If Riga has rejected us then surely that's also newsworthy in Belgium.
Every angle possible must be used.
