If this letter is geniune it really is fantastic. Its going to be all over the press.
Well done you tossers. You've gone and shot yourselves in the foot again!
CARD should have a field day with this.4 -
I take it the protests will be back on for tomorrow. There is no point in talking about the football side of things, as until we get Duchalet and Meire out, the club cant move on. This poisonous, toxic and bullying regime cannot be allowed to continue. It may take many years until we get our club back and pride back. Keep protesting chaps in whatever you way can and look forward to the party when they finally go.5

Can't disagree with you but would like this to damage Meire and Duchatelet instead of a subordinate.iainment said:
Absolutely unfit for his job on this evidence. Still thinks he's a copper rather than a jumped up H&S Officer. Shows all the disdain of fans required by Duchatelet so will probably be promoted rather than sacked.johnny73 said:
In the the unlikely event the club admit they have made a mistake then I'd imagine this is the angle they will take. Eager will probably be fired as a result.cafcfan said:
I'm not so sure our beloved leader can be blamed for this.cabbles said:This guy who wrote the letter, is he new to the role?
The one thing I don't want to happen is this guy get completely ruined by this. This should fall firmly on the CEO and executive team. Yes it may have been a stupid thing to attach his name too, but surely any club correspondence gets signed off before being sent out.
I'm just saying it won't be nice for this guy if he's now a laughing stock etc, that needs to be firmly at the top. He's prob gonna lose his job as it is. That's enough
This guy was ex-plod of a fairly senior rank. He will be well used to running his fiefdom with a rod of iron. It comes as quite a culture shock to retired officers when they have to go off and do a job elsewhere. It takes some quite a while to realise they are now just a small fish in a big pond rather than running their own nick.
I would not be at all surprised if this was not his own "initiative".0 -
With the scandal and craziness which happens in Serie A season after season, it takes alot for Italy's biggest sports news outlet to:
a) cover Charlton
b) call anything not Italian bizarre14 -
Surely we are now the No.1 basket case in football ahead of Blackpool and Leeds.

At times under the Duchatelet regime, I have wondered whether or not things can continue to get worse at the Valley. In terms of the football that is being played on the pitch, it definitely seems to be decreasing in quality, but that is not the issue at hand.
After the ‘wanting the club to fail’ rant, it was clear that this regime had not taken any lessons in public relations, or had any idea how to communicate with fans (or should I say customers?). Katrien Meire’s various public appearances have very definitely cemented this fact, with several questionable comments about the behaviour of fans, and their relationship with the club, comparing Charlton Athletic to a cinema or restaurant. However, it seems that in a week where genuinely positive signings were made, fan-club relations have regressed further.
Now, those who speak negatively of the Duchatelet regime on social media can expect to be watched closely. Whilst this was always probably the case, the revelation that the club are imposing ‘Agreed Behavioural Contracts’ on fans should come as a massive warning sign to those throughout the football world, especially at Charlton. This is a ridiculous, Orwellian action by the club, attempting to quieten resistance, and censor the views of fans on Twitter, Facebook and the like.
Whilst it may be a one-off, this has spread like wildfire on the social media that it aimed to stifle, showing just how inept and clueless this regime is. They have thrown petrol onto the fire, and now the media is drawing attention once again to the issues at our club. Censorship of fans is a dangerous principle, that has drawn widespread condemnation of the club from both within our fanbase and the football community.
I look forward to reading the club’s statement, and how they will attempt to justify this latest miscalculation. If previous statements are to go by, then it will likely aggravate the issue further. We need this regime out of our club, sooner rather than later.

Fuck off pinochio and take the bunch of useless management team with you.2 -
Can't wait for today's Media Watch on the OS. Or will we witness further censorship?4

I think they mean an internal problem.WSS said:4 -
Just come to this thread.
HA haha haha ha ha ha haha!!!!!
Almost worth buying a s/t (not) just to get a letter. Badge of pride!4 -
Technical issues at The Valley are the least of their problems1
-
The club have been wanting to ban certain fans for negative comments on social media for a while now , it is only the few remaining sensible employees at the club that have stopped them doing it before now0

Okay, let me play devil's advocate for a moment here. Does anyone know what was said, or at least have a summary of it (sorry if I've missed it in the 10 pages)? There are certain things, racism, sexism, threats of violence, etc. when, even if they're said on social media, can and should lead to consequences. The letter is silly and petulant ("Silly and Petulant" should be on the club letterhead), and the ABC (sometimes, you need to look at your acronym and say to yourself "No, I'm going to work a little harder on that") is over the top. But all that said, it would be nice to have a little bit of context.0

And yes, we got it wrong with the managers and the players, but that happens, that’s why clubs get relegated, that doesn’t mean that everything else is shit.

Just listening to the lad on Talk Sport now, seems like a nice level headed lad.
Spoke complete sense. Well done Conor5 -
And that is exactly why sometimes, when you have an acronym, you need to stop before hitting "print" and work just that little bit harder.JohnnyJoeyDeeDee said:Come on time for a new chant

Then take legal procedures, and don't sell the Season Ticket to him. If it's an illegal comment then the police is the way to attack this, if it's just general moaning and on the line banter as an entire side of Twitter is - this is just free speech.SDAddick said:Okay, let me play devil's advocate for a moment here.

this lot are a PR disaster aint they but for CARD etc surely a great OG to be used endlessly ?
we do however have a bit of a history re "the Club" and its fans
* Rochdale away in the 70z crowd 850 !! when the fans tried to attack the directors---Valley away (ran by Mick Walker) was "banned--of course it just went on with the club not promoting it.
* Andy Nelson " our fans are just drunken louts".
* The placing of seats in the Covered End--no consultation and we were expelled to the side
* Mark Aiselwood giving the fans the 2 fingers after a shit game. Mind you he went on to be Player of the Season.
* The famous piece of A4 paper informing us we would be moving to Shitouts Park in 3 weeks. Handed out as you went in against Palarse of all teams
Sadly wining the PR war wont get rid of a cult whose leader leaves abroad1
