"Meanwhile, the high tax on labour effectively increases the cost of services for those who want their shoes, a washing machine or a bike to be repaired."
Was thinking about this secret meeting. How weak does it make RD and KM look that they have to skulk around their own premises in case they bump into "protesters" aka people who don't agree with them. That you dare not engage with your "customers" unless it is all controlled. That is hardly a sign of strength. And having to hire a PR company because you cannot convince a large proportion of your "customers" that you are any good. That is an admission of failure. Even with this tight control, they still balls it up, with the 1.5% comment, which is wonderfully unique( as in weird) and then they get a member of the inner circle to resign for high treason ( as in tweeting about the secret meeting) It is actually laughable isn't it. How Roland ever made any money from anything should be the subject of serious scientific study because it defies all explanation based on his efforts at Charlton.
100% , well said
The tip toeing around thing is quite bizarrely sad.
I believe the 1.5% quote was more of bragging explanation as to why he doesn't need to give a f*ck.
The man has no pride in his work (picky and choosy to say the least) but yet is a millionaire.
It stinks.
I don't care how much work he's done elsewhere etc or whatever.
He doesn't deserve the fortune he has.
Based on the way he has treated his 1.5% "minor" "irrelevant" business.
So what Douchebag has told us with the 1.5% statement is that if we want him to notice the protest then we have to start impacting his higher and more important investment... ... ...
Agree, and the obvious target is Strapix and his prime Belgian assets. I don't know enough about business re financial targeting - he will be immune to that in Belgium for obvious reasons but getting access to AGMs and tryin.
This would take considerable time and the right kind of contacts but Duchatelet doesn't like to be viewed as the clown he undoubtably is.

He is a one-trick pony who believes that he is a field full of ponies (with apologies to The Apprentice)
As a season ticket holder in the North Lower (it will always be the Covered End for me), I can assure Target20K that the atmosphere has deteriorated significantly this season compared to previous seasons.
I'm taken with the last point that the group have helped with re. The Proud Valliants meeting room, is the naming in honour of the late great Andy Nelson and his misspelling of Valiants? I thought they weren't interested in the clubs history!!
I can't work out what they get out of it. Their "achievements" are pretty bloody poor - getting rid of the sofa?! A student discount at a time when the club was sponsored by a university? - and they're content for the club to release details of their meeting before they finally get around to doing it days later. I can only hope that the huge delay in them getting that statement out is a sign that they've had a few rows about it and their mysterious members are getting pissed off with the whole charade.
I understand why people go along with things for an easy life - but to actively assist in an endeavour that is both futile and making them a laughing stock is just bizarre. Is there any personal beef between Metin Afiya and anyone in CARD at all?
Mr Afiya does seem genuine - there is a LinkedIn profile in his name, works at McLaren motorsport in Guildford, went to Thomas Tallis school in Kidbrooke. Maybe there's some sport conference link between him and Meire? Used to have a Twitter account - @turkishbastard (!!) - appears to have followed CAFC and Target20k shortly before deleting his account.
edit: he also has a public Facebook account, showing him at a formal do clutching an old CAFC Llanera shirt. His pals there, for what it's worth, include Swisdom of this parish, and the unlucky Alison who found herself drummed out of T20k for speaking out of turn.
Un-elected elite, just like the House of Lords, I see the club have gone from refurbishing the JS Sign to refurbishing the whole stand. This group does not represent me as I am retired and have no place within this group for me. How do they seek the fans views?
if they think improving communication between club and supporters is for THEM to publish a statement after each meeting, then they can shove that statement up their arses, this bunch really are self importance, Sue Perks wannabes!!!!
The idiots have priced a Student Season Ticket so that its CHEAPER for the Students to pick and choose their matches depending where they sit, shouldnt it be the other way round?
So Roland stressed he had never been involved in team selection. Does that mean that he is saying Chrissy Powell is lying??
Thats how deluded they are, they clearly don't realise by saying it never happened means they are calling one of the most respected individuals in the game a liar. Even anyone who isn't that closely involved with Charlton knows CP is as honest as the day is long.

Again, there's a pattern here. The new PR company have clearly advised the SMT to keep repeating things and they may well start to be believed. Any journalist looking to go down the "Duchatalet interferes" line will immediately find the quote and possibly assume that he is as good as his word.
Much of what is coming out the club this season is PR-advised material aimed at slowly blunting opposition and rebuilding the SMT's image. No more, no less.

It seems that the SMT of the club has decided that Target20K can now be considered the official conduit with rank and file fans ... not just one meeting but seemingly regular (albeit top secret) ones. Hence the repeated comments about none of them having affiliations with the club etc etc. Guess it means Sue and Squirrel Face will have more human shields in the directors' box before too long.

I am surprised therefore that Duchatelet agreed to meet these hard-core protesters!
I swear this must be at least the 6th or 7th time that either him or Meire have said this in their time here.

Hats off to them. I hadn't realised that away coach travel was free last year, but well done to them for securing that.
Or have they maybe got that wrong?
What a load of tosh.
The Belgians offering freebie coach travel when only a handful were going.
It's a 480 mile round trip.
