Last season, I was told from someone inside the club that they knew they'd got things wrong and that they would work to put things right. Sadly, for them, Roland doesn't give two figs for anyone but himself.
The interview with RD was on (Flemish ) national television. It's a weekly talk show, covering different subjects, mainly political. Every week a sports related subject is highlighted, usually by interviewing someone well known. Every evening however, there's another talk show called "de afspraak" (rendezvous). Might I suggest someone (in English shouldn't be a problem) writes a little comment, perhaps even asking for an interview or an invite to either talk show ? They have a habit inviting people with opposing views on a certain matter. You might get lucky to explain your view on the decline of CAFC.

I've sent in the form...bit worried that my very rusty Dutch would not stand up to a TV interview, but well...
Addickted - I realise you are probably trying to be funny, but this actually comes across as very rude to WA. Facing TV cameras would be stressful in any case, but to offer to do so in another language shows great commitment and deserves nothing but praise. Thank you WA; I am sure you will do us all proud if you get the opportunity.

Agree go for it but possibly do it in English if they agree

As I said in July, nothing has changed.
I hope we get the chance to reply!
We all know who the stupid person is.
Well one thing has changed since then. The club has realised its mistakes in managerial appointments and chosen to hire the manager who can deliver promotion this season. Russell Slade.

He has basically called Powell and fans stupid/dumb. Firstly it proves he doesn't watch us as Riga only played the network player Powell really wanted and Reza who was crap apart from a goal at Leeds! Also he fails to acknowledge that Powell took us up with a record points total, then only missed out on the play offs the next season by three points. Also that the rug was pulled from him in the season Roland took over and players were not being paid - admittedly before he took over! He did not acknowledge the games in hand, nor that he had denied interference that has been proven to have taken place!
I'd love to debate that dishonest lying weak minded fool who is trying to re-write history and blame everybody else for his incompetence. Powell wasn't the world's greatest manager, but he doesn't deserve it. He is a club legend and I am still raging. I couldn't post earlier as AFKA would have had to remove it! Shouldn't the league sanction Duchatelet for these comments or are you allowed to be so offensive?
Have contacted the EFL about the comments made by RD about SCP (tantamount to bringing the game into disrepute?) but expect only a reply to say that my comments have been noted.
However, The League Managers Association should be made aware of the comments and requested to comment themselves. If this is not already in motion it should be.
If ever someone gets invited for Flemish media , certainly national television, ... they have people expressing themselves in English all the time. No problem ...
I'm all for a show of support for Powell which will stick two fingers up at this ********! Duchatelet - you are lying scum. The EFL has to act - this cannot be acceptable in any circumstance. Are talk sport on this - I'm sure teh ex players will have a field day discussing it - especially if we provide them with some facts to go with it!
"Then Jose Riga came in and with all the other players that the other coach had said were bad players, got 1.5 points per match and saved the club, then it all stopped."
1. Does 'saved the club' mean 'prevent relegation'? How exactly is that working out you total peen?
2. He 'saved the club' so you immediately sacked him. Great plan.
3. What has 'all stopped'? Certainly not our decline. Definitely not the protests. You are completely delusional.
So RD wants the fans to sing and dance after a match, perhaps he should tell KM, because when CAFC fans started singing in the car park she hired in extra security and closed the blinds.
This is what comes of running a 'business' as part social experiment, part hobby and part-time (1.5% ) and placing unqualified staff in senior positions to let them get on unchecked with the running of the club in the administation (Miere) and scouting (Driesen) areas.
Let's hope that @weggieaddick can get in front of the cameras in Belgium to further expose the inadequacies of this grossly arrogant and self-delusional owner.
I think the worst lawyer in the world could succesfully defend Powell against that lunatic's attacks! He would haveknown full well that Riga didn't play the network players either but tried to insuate that he did. I long for the day when a well informed and researched interviewer gets the chance to talk to the coward. He gave so many opportunities to be picked to pieces, but it is unreasonable for a Belgian reporter to know any detail to challenge him on. Less forgivable that many English ones don't either but that is a different matter!

That's why I said this on page 8...
Then Jose Riga came in and with all the other players that the other coach had said were bad players, got 1.5 points per match and saved the club, then it all stopped.
Then, genius that you are, you got rid of the coach who got 1.5 points per match and replaced him with one who got 1.2 points per match. Did you forget that bit Roland?

Literally everything he says is bollocks.
It's almost too much.
When he said "then it all stopped"
I think he's suggesting that protests are rather thickle ... And if we got a few wins together, simply no one bothers protesting anymore. Like it has no solid principle. Ok.
No one was protesting when Powell got sacked though.
It was just a sad time that Powell had left and the club seemed to have rapidly changed around in a very short space of time. People were right-fully concerned, but mostly still supportive and understanding of a bigger picture.
So Riga put a few more results together and averaged more points then Powell.
So f*cking what you idiot.
Fraeye and Luzon combined, put us in an even worse position before Riga took over for the 2nd time.... And I'm assuming less points per game then Powell. Those are managers YOU hired Roland. They also used YOUR players. You, as owner, are overall responsible for club employees.
(Riga finished the job and got us relegated...by getting mostly terrible results with the players at his disposal)
Riga charlton relegations - 1
Powell charlton relegations - 0
The contradicting stuff douche bag argues.
He doesn't think before he speaks. His brain has no logical organisation to make a convincing specific point or argument.

May I suggest that a representative of CAST should contact the TV station
They just did. See above.
It's excellent that Weegie can it in Dutch. Should help counter this 'lost in translation nonsense' for the apologists.
Given RD & KM 3 years honeymoon period to learn from there mistakes, But after that interview enough is enough its time to go Roland and sooner the better. I am sure this interview has turn many like me to anti Roland. Taxi for Roland

No secret.
Oooops he did go.

Karl Robinson described Roland as "Laidback"
Huh
Though, in fairness, I'd hazard a guess that most Belgians would aready know that.
