It's been on the OS for an hour. Surely they would have reacted by now if it were a hack?
Regarding the language/ grammar, I studied Dutch and worked for a couple of years in the Netherlands. We called it Dunglish – the arrogance of people who don’t think they need a native speaker to check their writing in a foreign language. You even saw it on major signs and advertisements. I can spot it a mile off. Pretty convinced this is either RD or KM, or most likely a combination.
Aren't they Walloons though? Like native French speakers?
I'm just splitting hairs though - if our Louis says it genuine, I'm inclined to believe him.

No, I've heard KM speaking Flemish/ Dutch on the phone to RD - that is her first language, though RD's may be French, I'm not sure.
Well who ever posted it didn't do it as per the format of EVERY other piece of writing in the whole website lol
It sticks out like a sore thumb. Anyone who knows web design will tell you when they look at the source code.
It does look suspect, but I can't believe that it wouldn't have been taken down by now. My thinking is that Roland has demanded it is put up immediately, normal web guys not working as it was 9 o'clock and the only people working were comms guys at the U21 game with little web experience?
Check the source code of the statement and you will see it is fake.
On the contrary, line breaks (<br>) as opposed to paragraph (<p></p>) elements to me would suggest it was hastily copied and pasted from some form of plain text... like perhaps an email or a .txt file. Adds some plausibility - but I'll look at another page and compare to see if anything else is missing.
-- Edit:
Or not - the CMS is a pile of shit and has no concept of paragraphs and uses line breaks all over the place.
There's no header element, which is where the summary usually is - not even an empty one. Although that could just be an artefact of a decent defensive approach to writing the templating (checking a value exists before trying to output it).
Interestingly though, there's no author element either - unless every author is expected to input that themselves? If that's the case, it would suggest that there's no relationship between a post and it's creator... which is pretty lol if it's your last day and you want to plot some revenge.
It's brilliant how some of the people reporting/commenting on this obviously weren't aware of the Dublin comments previously, and because of the dodgy formatting are confused and thinking that it's Roland who's comparing fans to cinema-goers and he's now getting grief for it too.
You really couldn't make this up.
(unless it ends up being a hack after all, in which case, yes you can)
Eight pages in less than an hour, so posting without having read everything yet! He's obviously had dear Katrien on the phone in hysterics and has moved incredibly clumsily to respond to the nasty customers. Mel Baroni should resign if she has any self-respect.
This blew my mind. Wow. It's like one of those emails you write and think better of, so you delete it. Edit: I'm leaning toward fake until I hear otherwise. It's so badly written.

cant wait to see how the club try to wriggle out of this one! "our website was hacked , and whoever it was tried to make it look like it was me being angry and upset as well as not being a native English speaker... I would hazard a guess at it being the same person who resigned me from Charlton!"
' but katrien , we thought that your full investigation would have found said culprit ?!'
" erm , yes oh , erm cant have been him huh .. I blame Rick Everett Hes scared of me!"
I reckon KM published this whilst holed up in her posh Kensington pad on her fifth bottle of Vodka. It's the only valid explanation I can offer at this stage.
What's brilliant about this is that the majority of non-charlton fans talking about this are focussing on the last paragraph without any knowledge or context of what it's about and are still highly critical.
This is a massive own goal on all levels. Poorly written, ammunition for the press to continue their coverage of us and hope to all protestors that we're getting to them in a big way.
There's still so much more to come Roland. We're just warming up.

I am not worried for my personal safety though.

I am fecked here, I want it to be true, yet I want it to be hacked and not real in equal measure.

The more you know {...} as they say.
Someone is rattled!
I hope you 20k focus group fans can see just how you are being manipulated by and giving support these people.
