Presumably he's just dancing for coinsAFKABartram said:This guy has been pushing a Katrien agenda for quite a while in numerous articles. You have to wonder whether it's either to generate a reaction, or there is an alternative agenda

Ah, this Phillip Marks.................. who has just returned from a 3 1/2 year sabbatical in the Sahara desert.18 -
The NS have really gone for the click bait in recent months.
This is clearly a piece to get a few hits.0 -
Le mot juste mon brave, well said indeed. A put down of vastly higher quality than the articled so critiqued.bigstemarra said:Quisling nonsense.

They are rightly judged on the sins of the past 3 years. 3 years which the club and we fans will never get back. 10,000 or more season ticket holders the club may never get back.Henry Irving said:Let's not judge them on what they done over the past three years but on what might happen over the next nine months
We will continue to judge them on their conduct and its outcomes. Just because they have dragged Charlton to a much lower base does not mean they are to be judged against lower standards.8 -
In my opinion, all that has happened is that KM has managed to convince RD not to interfere as much as he did at the start, and, RD's own interest in us is waning.

Are there any "no ifs, no buts" demos planned for the coming weeks?0

Think Henry's point is that it's what some fans do. Always defending RD and KM by talking about what might happen. They were saying "what if we win promotion" this time last year and say exactly the same things now.carly burn said:
You can't judge on what might happen though can you. I take it this was cheek in tongue?Henry Irving said:Let's not judge them on what they done over the past three years but on what might happen over the next nine months
I feel we have a much better chance than last year but there's still almost another month of the transfer window left.1 -
Just seen this thread so PWR as off to see "Dunkirk" shortly.
I see this as a last ditch attempt to sell season tickets before the new term starts on Saturday & a pathetic attempt to project KM as a reformed character.... St Katrien, even !
Sadly for her, Addicks , like those grey, big eared , long nosed animals ( Millwall fans ?) NEVER forget.
And whilst there will still be supporters that are happy to hang on her every word, whilst holding their blinkers in place as they kneel to lick her boots, others, like myself remain totally aware of the long term damage she & her Dark Lord have inflicted on OUR club. The consequences will indeed be felt for many seasons to come.
To the blogger responsible for this comedic article, I'd add that fine words butter no parsnips ...whatever that means.
This vinegar p*sser will continue to show her disdain & contempt for this woman until that happy day when she exits the building, never to return.31 -

Just so we're all clear, I'd be happy to write that kind of waffle on an ongoing basis should Katie want to put me on the payroll.5

I agree with this sentiment, I think its silly justifying the owners in the article and to say they have proved people wrong does not really ring true. When you prove someone wrong its normally when your told something is unachievable and you go and do it all the same, all the owners have done is what should have been done in the first place.cantersaddick said:
Yep and I'm one for getting carried away when it comes to predicting what will happen on the pitch.Northstandpieeater said:
But that's preseason for you, isn't it better to get carried away and have your hopes dashed then not hope at all. Always better to be glass half full rather then glass half empty.cantersaddick said:So may people getting carried away with the idea of promotion like it has already been achieved. There's a lot of football to be played between now and then. We currently have 0 points on the board. I want us to get promoted as much as anyone but it could quite easily all come crashing down to earth.
However to use this to justify the ownership have been proved right or have 'won' or even learned from their mistakes is ridiculous.
Maybe there will be justification for saying they have changed and learned 9 months down the line. But right now it's a ridiculous idea.
No let me rephrase that disregarding Powell which was a mistake in my view, but lets face it any time a team gets brought the manager gets the boot its an unwritten rule. What the owner should have done is when it became evident the network was not working tact should have been changed tact a lot earlier, if indeed tact has been changed. Im not sure who has been proved wrong certainly not the agents who negotiated above market rate wages for players we have had to offload time and time again, nor any of the fans who suggested that of the Lookman sell only 300k would be spent on transfers (net spend this summer 300K) nor the club who have received two players free of charge it appear.
So I completely agree the article is misguided but by the same token I think the article, written by a CL member, in' Football 2018' was also misguided focus on the team/season not on the owners. My point was not made to vindicate/validate the article but just to say we should be being positive at this time of the year. Anyway my glass being half full im predicting as 4-1 on Saturday

This is fake news2

Yep. Totally proven wrong as we sit on 0 points. I thought we would get a few more.3

Every single summer since they've been here they've changed their ways and got it right this time.
The first summer under Bob Peeters they of course had sussed out the quality of the Championship after the debacle the previous January and were now bringing in higher quality players, unbeaten after ten games weren't we.
The second summer Guy Luzon was singing Sweet Dreams and everything was looking great, we won our first two home games.
The third summer they finally brought in a English manager and were buying English players, a sure sign that things had changed right?

I don't understand your point. So we never forgive them, even when they change for the better?Henry Irving said:
So who was proved wrong?cafcnick1992 said:I tend to agree with the article.
I was opposed to ridiculously unqualified managers and useless foreign players. This has been rectified.
The fans who said they were unqualified managers and largely useless foriegn players?
Or the owner and CEO who employed them and constantly told us they were right to do so?
I really don't understand why 23 people have liked your post when it bears little relevance to my post.1 -

I dislike RD and KM but this is not the case. KR waffles on without thinking, analysing each word in one of his interviews is pointless. Take it for what it was which was the Djiksteel played so well he showed KR he did not need to buy anyone else... Just the same way Konsa and Aribo did in Jan vs Brissle Rovers.seth plum said:After Norwich, and Djiksteel's showing Robinson was 'told' he couldn't sign a right back.
Doesn't sound like a free hand to me.1 -

What hasn't been rectified is the constant sacking of managers when we go through a small blip, lack of investment in the squad and not appreciating their 'customers'. It's true we have a English manager who knows the league but we thought we had the same in Russell Slade and look what happend.cafcnick1992 said:

I like Robbinson as a manager but our squad looks weak if we want to challenge for promotion. What's the odds on Robbinson being sacked first? The sooner Roland sells the club the better because it doesn't matter who our manager is when we have a 'twat' of an owner.
I hope I'm wrong.3 -
Reading that made me feel like I did the morning Frank Maloney announced himself/herself as Kellie Maloney. That someone was pulling my leg to see if I'd react or not. From reading that load of absolute tripe I'm not sure whether the author is off his bin on a combo of valium and vicodin or is doing this poxy modern thing of writing a load of old bollocks in a contrary or sensationalist manner to get the website abvertising revenue1

One nice summmer "proves" a lot less than three dreadful years. Ridiculous headline.4

Bravo Tom for two high profile propaganda pieces timed to sell season tickets.
Goebbels would be proud of you.
Just a shame we will need to win football matches not PR awards to get promoted.11 -
If course the current situation proves nothing of the sort as claimed by the writer.
Roland not katrien wanted us relegated, but their incompetence and arrogance caused it.
The initial signs during this close season, suggest that they might be trying for promotion. Whether it is achieved remains to be seen, I'm not holding my breath.
One thing is certain, Roland has stated publicly that he has no ambitions to ascend the football pyramid. To my knowledge he has not changed his view.
If we get promoted, the apologists will point the finger at protesters shouting that the messiah and his sidekick have finally proved that you are all knobs.
Well, no actually. All it proves is that Roland is more likely to make his money in a higher division. He has no ambition to move us on to a higher level, he doesn't get football. He hasn't seen the light and katrien will continue to use the apologists.
For this reason, I will continue to avoid putting my money into into my club that has been turned into Roland and katrien's plaything.6 -
Dude can have his opinion. And you know what they say - make your words nice and sweet because you may end up having to eat them.
I am particularly irked by praise of our CEO. It's completely unwarranted. We have not heard a peep from her for months, because she is an unmitigated PR disaster, and apparently everything that's happening is her doing? Nah, don't buy that.
The Club, it seems to me, have clearly withdrawn Daisy from the front line/stopped her opening her mouth, and are having sycophants say stuff like "her nous in these signings" "well done for a great pre-season" etc, in order to pull the wool over the eyes of the more easily bought of us.
This is a bollocks piece and can do one.11 -
It boils down to this.....the regime have got one whole lot to do in order to
get the vast majority of the fan base back on side......you can't expect us to all suddenly forgive and forget as they've yet to give us anything to write home about.....we're still undecided as to how to react to impending success as it's possibly (and I say possibly), on the horizon and very much a bridge to be crossed when and if we get to it.
One thing I would like to say is re Robinson. Yes, he does tend to talk in predictable sound bites and waffle on saying repeatedly what he thinks we want to hear but I can put up with that if he brings us success.....so I personally would like to see a little less criticism of his media performances, which I agree are a bit cringe worthy at times, and more encouragement given instead. In short, I don't think he's a bad manager for us considering where we now find ourselves.
Good luck Robbo.....UP THE ADDICKS!1 -
A truly shameful sycophantic article by Marks, the mans a tosser!3

The writer has basically said the negative fans have been bullied into being that way.
