    Typical that when all things Belgian become fashionable and successful we get the one useless Belgian toerag. Being a Charlton fan is certainly unique. Waiting for that moment when Australia gets wiped out by a huge meteor....
  • Staff strike on Saturday? Gets the match postponed, more embarrassment for Roland and helps Lee Bowyer, as a few players will be back from injury for the re-arranged fixture.

    I have a horrid feeling that a strike would cause us to forfeit the game. Hope I am wrong.
  • Feel really sorry for all the staff affected by this, and the tone and lack of empathy in that message says it all.

    And if it is not directly from him - and someone in a more senior position has tried to humanise it - then it is a really piss poor effort.

    And it must really hack people off that they are paying for the mistakes of others (such as our glorious former CEO) and the non League One salaries no doubt paid to some of the playing squad over the past few years.

    Difficult to say, wasnt there talk of that Blackpool v Huddersfield game being postponed at the end of the season once yet couldnt because all the players were going on Holiday

    imo it's too well worded, no grammatical issues, reads properly and written by an English speaker. And the lack of huh's gives it away.

    I reckon he wrote the original or someone did who's first language is not English - the last sentence;

    'Please raise to your line manage or HR'

    Really feel for the staff on this, I hope the statement says, '{...} We're coming for you, we're coming for you, Roland you cheapskate, we're coming for you'........ in court of course.

  • Is there any money left in the CARD fund to.pay some of the bonuses to the staff?

    Think of the way the press would react to this !

    Great coverage for sure with the fans that have long fought to escape from the owner's shackles, now being seen to effectively pay the football club's staff !

    How would our billionaire Belgian slither his way out of that embarrassment ?

    Sad to say the press dont seem to care about it at the moment

    Only the Mail and SLP appear to have covered the whole incident to date
  • This is a total disgrace, yet silence from the EFL. If this was the players bonuses they wouldn't be so silent

    Can't the staff join the PFA?
  • Lower the asking price of the club and you will sell, then go and have sex with yourself
  • Strike action by the offended staff would be unanimously supported by the fans.
    This Saturday is probably too soon, they'll need to present their case and their suggested remedy, have the wankstain refuse to budge and then for them to present their ultimatum. The Wycombe game on 8 September could be ideal, providing plenty of time to stoke up media interest.

    “The club makes a very significant operating loss every month which is out of proportion with the occasional player sales revenue intended to offset these operating losses. Various parties interested in taking over have been put off by the high running costs. This is a matter of restoring the financial health of the club, which had got out of control for a League One club."

    As is often the case with takeovers, the buyers have told the owner to cut costs so they do not have to, thus avoiding starting off in a negative way.

    I suspect this cost cutting programme has come from the Australians.
  • Just been on BBC news.

    More info?

    Guess we should find out because if that’s what the Belgians are implying then you would expect the Aussies to refute that as that would be a crap way to announce themselves. If it’s true then I don’t know what to say.

    seeing a lot of tweets mentioning a strike. I for one would support it as it would be more effective and hard hitting than fans boycotting and more likely to create a bigger impact. Would have to be announced asap to save the Fleetwood fans travelling down. Not sure what people's thoughts are but if there are enough brave individuals in that group that have been dicked over, and would walk out, they would have my total respect and admiration.

    Mindful though that this whole thing is more about them as employees than us as fans and our thing with Roland.

    Whatever action the staff choose to take could be supported by the fans.

    Hate to say it but how do we create maximum disruption by ensuring the game gets called off before the Fleetwood fans / players get down here

    If we do ensure its called off before Saturday its just going to be a easier job for the EFL to get it re-arranged and give them less work to do

    A last minute postponement on the other hand would be more of a hinderance as Fleetwood would no doubt be having a go the EFL for letting this happen in the first place - i.e. Havent people on here said that they ran into the Fleetwood Chairman at the Valley and up there last season and was a really nice bloke?
