"Duchâtelet was on the phone to the newspaper owner this morning, to rant at him for publishing the article".
Just to be clear- the latter refers to ROT article in Het Laatste Nieuws, not this one. Imagine he is quite proud of this one.
Completely clear about that @Weegie Addick , the ROT campaign is a supporters protest though and the ensuing publicity from it quite obviously 'does him' more than a little, judging by his response.
Hoping @Weegie Addick ormsomeone else will be able to,present a full,translation, then if there are contentious views that the circulation engine to press and authorities goes on full throttle
I started on it last night but only on my phone. Have a day full of meetings but plan to work on it properly this evening on laptop unless anyone else beats me to it.
Kind of incredulous some of the stuff he says. But not unexpected, given what we've seen and heard before.
Surely this is why we have meetings?
Some of us run our own businesses, @redrobo, so no skiving for me ;-)
Hopefully the CARD publicity machine will get hold of all this and make maximum use of it back in UK territory. @SoundAsa£ for sure CAST will use any relevant comments in discussions with the EFL, but the latter are trying to drag their feet on the meeting.

Appreciate you are clear on it @Addickted but not everyone reading this thread would realise. ROT have achieved fantastic coverage from last weekend.

Oh those type of meetings!
If you need someone to caddy or drive you home just let me know.
I totally believe him when he says he is in no hurry to sell. All the evidence supports that. Those who claim he "desperately" wants out.... I think they are wrong. I think he is gonna make buyers come to his price and not vice-versa.
He's mentioned some of this before and it's the social experiment thing that really concerns me. We've gone from a football experiment to a social one. So the way we react to all of the mental things he does is starting to give him a hard on!

Agree. But a hard on at the wrong time can have unintended consequences down the line. He never thought ROT would actually go live. That of course is also what Greenwich Council never thought too in 1990.
Next question was about what an entrepreneur looks for in a football club.
I've been wondering about that myself lately. (laughs) It was a mistake. The football business does not suit me. Too irrational. If you want to lose real money, buy a football club.
I think laugh should be replaced with huh nevertheless I can’t argue against his response to this question.
He's at an age where he probably makes more per year than he loses and though it is likely somewhat irritating it is possibly not even seen as a problem...

I'm not sure that's true, I'm sure I read about a hihe drop in the Melexis share price, although I might have imagined that。
Reading some of that I really don't know how he passed the fit and proper test. Racist views, no regard for staff, delusional to say the least of it.
CAST is now trying to find out whether making racist remarks in public is a criterion the EFL apply in the ODT. Be prepared for the possibility that it is just fine and dandy with the EFL, so long as fixtures are fulfilled :-(

When I moved to China back in 2011, the criminal background check was basically a question on the visa application. "Do you have a criminal record" with options for yes and no, no checks were done beyond that. I imagine the FAPPT to be pretty similar.

I fear you are right.
It should be a morality test as well, as letting the likes of Duchatelet own a club just leaves the EFL open to owners that not only damage clubs financially, but also bring the game into disrepute at a time when racism simply has no place in society. It is ironic that the 'Fit and Proper' test is not, in itself, 'Fit and Proper'.
Just a question re EFL, what powers assuming Roland has broken any rules re running Charlton has the EFL got, is it limited to fines and point deductions etc., or have they got actual teeth, ie they could make him sell the club?
Not certain if this is the correct place to ask this question?

Migrants don’t add money. He’s saying that because most of his sellable assets have been home grown, like Lookman and Witsel.
But yes he is off his nut

It’s his views on the sinking of the Bismarck that intriques me.
He probably thinks that the wrong side lost the war.

Irrationality is at the heart of most people’s affiliation to a particular club.
