There's a link in this that gives his thoughts on the Charlton protests but i cant seem to get to it - think it wants me to subscribe, but reliably informed by our STVV friends that he states he has no interest in getting STVV into the playoffs - just wants it to be a place for business and leisure and football is almost an afterthought.

Maybe if someone can get it to work, then post the translation on here of the Charlton relevant bits.

  • Good stuff, well done. This is embarrassing him again.

    In recent years Roland Duchatelet has made his mark in Belgian football. Especially with STVV he made things happen. The businessman also invested a lot of money in the Limburg club.

    With the passage of Duchâtelet at STVV also heard an update from Stayen. It is now even one of the showpieces of the region seen. That centerpiece also had a serious cost. "The whole complex including apartments and parking is an investment of 100 million, but a realization that we are very proud of," said Duchâtelet in Het Laatste Nieuws.

    There could also STVV benefit. But that does not mean Duchâtelet expect pain results from the club. "Sint-Truiden has no ambition club, but get a social club. Play-Off first is of secondary importance. As long as we are saved from relegation stress, it's fine."

    It is the last paragraph that upsets many STVV fans
  • The football club is of secondary importants. Just part of a complex, bit of entertainment for the people who live there. Like a swimming pool or a social club.

    As long as Roly can have a dance after the game, that's fine by him. Football? Huh?

    Supporting your club is about many things, but one of the most important is the hope that you have that you will have some success. Whether that's just a win on a Saturday, a victory in a local derby (huh!) or longer runs that get you promotion, a cup maybe (maybe not the Checkatrade).

    I miss heading off to The Valley on a match day this season, with hope in my heart that we'll win. I had that hope every single game, even against the spanners!

    I just don't have that hope any more & I certainly don't go for a bloody dance & a laugh when my team are getting beat and the soul of what made Charlton so special, despite the fact that we weren't one of the big clubs, has been ripped apart by these stupid people!

    'As long as we are saved from relegation stress, it's fine.'

    ....he said, thinking of the mayhem that had befallen CAFC, a club beset by supporters who are ungrateful and stupid. And, latterly, as absent as the owner is.
  • 3rd from bottom will get STVV a play off place,and if the same as last season a chance
    to play in Europe.

    Bottom club goes down,2ND from bottom season is over ie no more games played until 2017/2018 season.

    Roland Duchâtelet en Marieke Höfte, voorzitster en sterke man. In een zeldzaam dubbelgesprek laat het koppel duidelijk blijken dat ze het bij STVV nog altijd naar hun zin hebben. STVV voetbalde zich de voorbije weken uit de gevarenzone en daar zijn ze beide blij om.

    "Sint-Truiden is geen ambitieclub, maar een gezelligheidsclub. Play-off 1 halen is van ondergeschikt belang. Zo lang we van degradatiestress gespaard blijven, is het prima." Het vernieuwde Stayen loopt intussen ook als een trein met bijna 1.000 mensen die er elke dag tewerkgesteld zijn. "Het hele complex inclusief woningen en parking is een investering van 100 miljoen, maar een realisatie waar we erg trots op zijn."

    En er zijn nog mooie plannen die Roland Duchâtelet en zijn Marieke willen uitvoeren. Welke precies? Dat ontdekt u nu in onze Pluszone, exclusief voor abonnees. Proef nu 4 weken voor maar 2 euro! U leest er meteen ook waarom de STVV-baas Standard verkocht heeft, wat hij vindt van het protest bij Charlton en of hij tevreden is over zijn netwerk van clubs. En ook een flinke brok STVV mag uiteraard niet ontbreken.

    Roland Duchâtelet and Marieke Höfte, President and strong man. In a rare interview late double torque clearly that they are always at STVV are having fun. STVV played football themselves from danger in recent weeks and they are both happy.

    "Sint-Truiden has no ambition club, but get a social club. Play-off 1 is of secondary importance. As long as we are saved from relegation stress, it's fine." The renewed Stayen meanwhile is booming with nearly 1,000 people are employed every day. "The whole complex including apartments and parking is an investment of 100 million, but a realization that we are very proud."

    And there are good plans that intend to export Roland Duchâtelet and Marieke. What exactly? You will discover now in our Zone Plus, exclusive to subscribers. Test now 4 weeks for only 2 euros! You can read why immediately sold the STVV Standard boss, what he thinks of the protest at Charlton and whether he is satisfied with its network of clubs. And may of course not be missing a big chunk STVV.

    It's beyond me how somebody who so fundamentally misunderstands the nature of sporting competition would want to get involved in football.

    If I want a nice time out with my friends going to football is quite a way down the list of things to do. If I brought them to Charlton they'd end up hating me in no time!

    What I don't understand is why the FA are ok with this. All that guff they spout after England are knocked out of yet another cup competition regarding the importance of grassroots football, and competitive English football - yet they're happy to stand by and watch a Belgian megalomaniac drain the competitive, sporting lifeblood out of a once proud English club. It makes no sense.

    How can this utter f***wit keep getting away with this crap without any recourse! It's disgusting as is he!!
  • Proves that footballing success is low down on his agenda. Strange that the CEO claimed that the be all and all, was to get back to the Championship asap.

    He's an idiot. It proves yet again he doesn't understand football or its fans.
    Ambition for your club is a fundamental principle, no matter what level it plays, and the basis of the whole pyramid system. If there's no ambition to progress, there's absolutely no point in the football as results are meaningless.
    If the stupid old man wanted to buy a social club, he should have bought a social club.
    And he says foreign owners don't understand football...

    I am generally mild mannered and slow to anger, but I hate that arsehole with a passion. I hope misfortune befalls him at every turn for the rest of his miserable existence.

    When they first took over, I was informed by the head of the commercial department that the new owners had a 3 year plan to get us back to the Premier League. Its coming up for 3 years now and I must say its not going to well is it.
    'Roland doesn't do failure' - your having laugh !!
    Now who are the 'idiots'???

    Explains why 'fans' like those in SE7 vagrants don't mind the dross on the pitch as long as they get to stuff their faces with as much free food and drink as possible before and after the match (paid for with your season ticket and matchday purchase surcharge of course).
  • Is he in Milton Keynes today?

    No, our 'informer' told us he'd gone to Lanzarote for the xmas and NY break.

    Keep 'em peeled.

    So, when KR, JJ & co arrive in Sint Truiden tomorrow for the match & a "bored" meeting, King Rat will be sunning himself elsewhere ?

    Don't believe JJ would be best pleased on missing out another day with his young family.....

    "Informer"?

    You been over on that "other forum" again? You know, the flip flop one that's gone all Bertie Smalls?
  • I think it was a joke Fanny.

    Yes, it was Fanny ...not a very funny one either.

    MOG is currently living the high life in Lanzarote for the winter- hope that explains it.
  • Apparently, some well known DJ, Peter Luts, was booked in to do a gig after the match at Stayen only for his FB comments after to read....

    "This I have never experienced in my 25 year career .. STVV booked me for one set after the match to normal an hour. After literally one plate Mr. Duchatelet is telling me that my job in his opinion, did not do well because people were not dancing, whatever, in my view seems difficult after one plate. I mentioned to him that this was my first record and that his people have made me the music for which I stand .. On my 2nd album, I'm on a very disrespectful and tactless manner by someone from his staff urged to stop immediately because I would have answered incorrectly, according to him Mr. Duchatelet which was not true?!?! For me this is a loss of face and sorry for the people who wanted to see me and did not get the chance. Mr. Duchatelet you may have a lot of money, but you've obviously never heard of tact and some form of politeness."
