Dear Fans,
Last Sunday, some individuals did not come to The Valley to watch the game and support the team, but came to create disorder on the pitch and interfere with the players and the game. Disorder which is, allegedly, needed to drive change in ownership and management.
Whom would they expect the club to be sold to? How long would a sales process take? Is it easier to sell the club when it is in League One rather than Championship?
Some individuals seem to want the club to fail. This is a confused approach, since following this logic leads to exactly the opposite of what we all want: staying in the Championship.
Allegations regarding the CEO are misrepresented* and are continuously used as a method to discredit and fuel personal abuse, hatred and with a risk to personal safety.
Although certain individuals tell you it does not happen, in recent weeks Roland Duchatelet has met the fans, the CEO has met with several different groups of fans and the communications team have attended several fans meetings. We will continue these meetings and constructive dialogue with fans.
We have 9 games left in which we have to get 6 points more than our competitors.
The team just got 7 points out of 3 games.
We still have the chance to make it happen with the support of the fans until the very last game. We must believe it is still possible. Every football fan knows the 12th man is a crucial factor in the success on the pitch.
*I think the difference is also because fans don't see themselves as customers and {…} they go to the restaurants with their families every week and they go to the cinema but if they aren't satisfied with the product will they go and scream to the people in charge of it? No they don't, but they do it with a football club and that's very weird (meaning unique) because they feel a sense of ownership of a football club and that's a really difficult balance of how you try and engage with fans and make them, incorporated into some of the decisions of the club, {…}.

This is probably the dumbest statement I've ever seen. He's asking who the club should be sold to, yet the fans have already given him the answer...
ING
HELL
Not even signed - it just finishes!!
F you Roland.
It looks as though Katrien has included the full quote from the Dublin interview that she was eager to also express in full at the last fans forum meeting (which was recorded and broadcast in full).
Is this clear it is from Roland?
A genuine WTF moment this, and we are world champions in WTFeckery.
Keep up the pressure.
Until @LouisMend confirmed it was from RD I was convincing myself it was a windup. He's lost it.
As for the statement, looks shit!
