Many thanks.
Brenda, I am so pleased to make your acquaintance my dear lady. I would like to deposit a significant amount of money into your account but I need the password and PIN. Let me firstly explain the situation - my Fah-zher is an Electronics Expert and he has accumulated a rather large fortune. He is normally, how you say, a tight Bugger but he has become foolish as his hair grows grey. He has invested significunt amounts of Euros in some Two Bob (Peeters) outfit called Charlton Athletic. They are really weird and think that they are not customers, silly peoples. Anyways (this is getting tiresome) I would ask that you provide me with completed bank account details so that I can arrange for transfer from CAFC account into your account and then you gives me all of the money. Best Loves Rudi Duchateletic
Will try to have a proper listen of this at some point. My French isn't that great but I think the interviewer asks him why he's changed coaches so often and he says he's using the Japanese business method of continuous change to improve (kaizen). He might have said something about each coach being better than the last - similar to the things spouted by his jumped up grad trainee CEO.
I am somewhat of an exiled Addick. Having been a season ticket holder for a decade, when family and work dictated I have been fairly poor at being at matches for a few years. Done more away than home! What I want to know is: a) What do CARD want? Not rhetoric or waffle, spell out for me what you want b) Why do you want it? Again please avoid rhetoric. We all want a "better" Charlton, but what does that mean... c) What makes you think you know better than a businessman who has made millions versus you who, I assume have not been successful in either business or football (am I wrong and there is a multi multi millionaire here, or ex-pro who made millions - if so, why are you not buying the club)? d) Who do you know who wants to buy the club? If you don't know who is buying it, then why ask RD to sell? Could push him out and get...no-one, ie. oblivion. e) What are their intentions for the club / background and experience in business and football.
I know this won't be popular, but seriously, if you don't have these answers then I can't support you in your actions, and other fans should think about it...
I'm all for this. I am boycotting games, I can only get down to the Valley occasionally so rather than pay for a match ticket I will donate the ticket price to the protest fund every time I planned to go to a match.
I still hope to be able to make another of the protests too. To the fans which go to all the protests, please remember there are so many people who can't make it for various reasons which are supporting your actions from afar.

May I suggest that you send a cardboard cut out of yourself, please.

I have donated to the fund, if this is deemed a good use of the cash by those looking after it, then so be it!
I'll be honest, I'd be a bit unnerved if it was though...

We'll even play the cardboard you in an attacking midfield role. You'll be more mobile than the current contenders
I've noticed Roland's on that clash of clans advert feel like throwing something at tele when it comes on
I thought that as well. bizarre
I imagine we could redo the advert. "This is a story about the most successful interim manager the network has ever seen, a man named Karel Frayere. Karel didn't play to win, Karel played to the beat of my drum. He had his own system, that none of the players knew how to play in, some say even he didn't know what this system looked like. And then one day, Karel vanished, after the defeat to Huddersfield, never to be seen again"

All the information you require is freely available on this site. Most recent discussions will highlight the main concerns about how the club is run and what the fans, whom are members of CARD want to change. Not a five minute job looking but very worth while reading.
I applaud you all. I wonder do you have anyone in the legal profession who can advise, as we must not break the law because you know who will be on us like a ton of bricks . Good luck, I will be donating, not as much as I would like as I am on a pension.

I think a) and b) have been covered. As far as c) goes, I would ask the opposite question: what is the likelihood that a Belgian businessman with no football background knows better than thousands of people who have supported and in some cases worked at, run and owned, Charlton for many, many years, particularly when he appoints to senior executive positions other inexperienced people of limited ability. Money is a very crude measure of ability in general and particularly of expertise in a niche activity outside your own field. d) I have been party to two direct communications from different current Charlton directors in the last fortnight in which they state that there is regular interest in buying the club. In addition, I know they have just rebuffed a very substantial approach. Fans cannot dictate to whom RD sells but the suggestion that no one might buy is now discounted by the club, as well as the evidence. e) The question is whether a new owner would be likely, on balance, to be more of a risk to the shared objectives of supporters than the existing one. At this stage the bar is being set very low indeed by the current owner, but in any event the entry fee for this competition will be set in the tens of millions of pounds and way above, for example, the asset value of the business. It would make no sense to buy it as anything other than a football club and it would not be possible to do so without having a very substantial amount of money, which appears to be your own criterion of merit.
Spreading the word as much as possible over here...ADU, Social media and of course supporting the fund....happy to donate more later on as needs arise. Keep up the good work everyone...wish I was there to add a voice.
Feeling pumped by all these courageous leaders and proud followers. I'm taking daughter to Hull to support OUR team that we both love and to shout and scream against the sickening regime.
Every one of this band of protesters that brings positive change is a hero.

I am the same. I wont be paying my hard earned money into their pockets when i dont see any real investment or plan. I will however attend on the 23rd for any after match protest. Will be there for 4.30 and keep updated on plans of action. Well done all.

Well spoken Airman
I'll be at the Blackburn game making noise in the ground during the game and protesting after. See you all there.
