    "Oh look at me, I spoke to Katrien and she convinced me everything is good - I know something you don't know!"

    Idiot.

    I met Katrien and was party to a good conversation with her shortly after the close season ended when our managerial situation was up-in-the-air. By the time I got to a nearby pub to grab a drink I realised I had been mugged off, and 6 weeks later our issues were even worse at the club. No wonder this guy doesn't want to publicly put his name to his statements, he knows full well that he's going to look an idiot sooner or later.

    Also, nice one screwing over other fans who care with your ill-informed bullshit though, Roland's splashing the cash, eh? We'll enjoy being crippled with repayments when he leaves will we? Standard Liege weren't absolutely fucked financially when he left were they? Tosser.

    Very good, well-researched piece, albeit spoiled by quotes from someone who's clearly happy to have the wool pulled over their eyes. Guess it shows how important it is to keep the issues in the public consciousness.

    Yet wouldn't put their name to their quotes. Coward.
    Collaborator, no other word for it I'm afraid.

    I can't understand why anyone would even want to even entertain the thought of listening to KM.

    She's a liar. This has been proven on so many occasions.

    "I’ve been going since 1952, and Duchâtelet has put more money into the club than any other owner, but he’s had more stick than any other. I think that’s down to social media.”

    Pathetic. Should be named and (a)shamed.

    I didn't know @Leuth was a member of East Kent Addicks

    Well, at least we now know the truth about 'EKA'.

    They are obviously some kind of front for a PR strategy by KM to try and give the impression that some of the fans like her and think her and RD are doing a great job....a classic strategy involving pushing the laughable premise that there is much disagreement about a particular issue; creationists tried this tactic by attempting to paint the scientific community as in disagreement about evolutionary theory....they're not. Find me an actual scientist that is a creationist....you can't.

    KM wants the world to think that something other than the overwhelming majority of Charlton fans think she's shite and RD is a clueless dick, which is why she has the useful idiots of 'EKA' (who are probably members of a PR agency that she has hired) to attempt to present an alternative reality to the media. After who's to stop anyone from pretending to be a Charlton fan of longstanding...especially if they like to do the 'anonymous' thing.

    Pathetic, isn't it?

    He's also a lickspittle freak by the sounds of things.

    Everyone else happy to use their name in that article, not him - even though people on here know the bloke and he more-or-less identifies himself anyway.

    Ironically KM was right about a small but significant number of Charlton fans: Weird/unique.

    Old man dazzled by young woman

    Probably reliving his long forgotten youth with the odious, manipulative Meire milking him for all his worth - after all it works for her & RD.

    A good article ruined by the supporters group nubbin from East Kent. Really, a sniff of the barmaids apron and the happy drunk wanders off home to a box of cleanex and the wife's bottle of hand cream ...

    As an "East Kent Addick" can I just say that I totally condemn the idiotic, apologist comments quoted by the East Kent Addick "representative" in the otherwise excellent Grauniad article - great that it gave the final word to Wendy Perfect. No I'm not a member of the so called "official" fan group (whatever one of those is) and I certainly wouldn't join if those are really the views of that group. Social media really? What division are we in? Is that the fault of a few keyboard warriors? Wake up and smell the coffee FFS!

    Time for a break away group? East Kent Real Addicks?

    It sounds trite & sexist but i would not be suprised in the least if this is what it boils down to - there is no other rational explanation as to how an old guy would be taken in hook line and sinker by Meire...

    To be fair, he was the same with Slater.

    They keep saying admitted mistakes. I wish they would then list a complete list of the mistakes they believe they have made and then against each one list what actions are being done to remedy them.
    Top of the list should be stop lying and we have no evidence of any action points against that!

    Just shows how John Comberford and EKA have been conned.

    He's loaned the money to the club. We have £38m+ of debt to Roland.

    He hasn't put more money in, just more debt.

    And that debt means he is asking a silly price of the few potential buyers he will actually talk to.

    Absolutely and I would like to see how JC backs up his assertion that RD put more into the club than any other owner.

    The trouble is, that particular lie is out there in public now. Neutrals reading that line may well think that Charlton fans have got really got a generous benefactor and should be grateful rather than angry. Whoever said that, has just done our club a massive disservice.
    Comments are open below the article, and quite a heartening level of support from fans of other clubs.

    I just left a comment to correct JC's assertion (and also criticise his anonymity)

    Sadly, CAFC has a fair number of sycophants, but this is not unique in the world of professional sports clubs. This 'spokesperson' from the EKA has merely displayed and made public his gullibility and perhaps he should be pitied rather than pilloried.

    As with all the comments above the fact that the East Kent Addick spokesman isn't named sums them up and him/her up especially when everyone else is happy for their names to be put to their quotes.Did think it was a very balanced article apart from the unnamed numpty

    Is it only me that feels uncomfortable with the slating John Commerford is getting? After all, the offending 'quote' was unattributed. If we can prove it's him then fair enough, but isn't there room for some doubt here?
