I don't have any sympathy for Roland but is this the answer? Made ourselves look even more desperate and stupid IMO.
What is the answer then? 5 years on and he's still here.
And you might not be desperate but I certainly am. He's ruining us. Someone graffitied his properties yesterday and it's got him out of his cave and on the radio today, rather than spending yet another day ignoring us. That alone is vindication.
Is it me or does the graffiti look slightly strange?

and especially the "RD<3 CAFC" one.
Just seems if you went all the way over there for some mindless vandalism, you'd make it a bit more creative and amusing than that.
Nick you are so right, I can't think of a single Addick I know that would use a circumflex in graffiti, use a love heart or refer to us in the third person. It may be a local with sympathy for us, or a local hired to help but its certainly another bizarre twist in a bizarre ownership
Obviously I can’t condone a criminal act, but before today it had all gone a bit quiet and since we’ve had Roland on British radio being torn a new one. Hopefully it’ll be cleaned off without too much bother and Roland can continue his brave quest to give away a football club for free.
Based upon his Talksport interview, say what you like but it's bloody worked.
Started off in that article as not wanting to say anything because a reaction is what they want, then turns up on the radio and comes across as a complete doughnut where Simon Jordon tears him a new one.
Also Simon Jordan championing our fans, what a time to be alive...
He could turn up wearing two watches in a new Tesla with a proper tango man tan and wearing a Palace and Millwall cut and shut handmade shirt with a tie and scarf the same handmade coulours. He could and wearing West Ham shorts, socks and full kit wanker boots and he would still be more popular than Murray for a lot of people at the minute.

Gotta admit, it looks that way.
Now I think of it, it's true that he rarely keeps silent when there is a demo or something. And he doesn't listen to anybody else advising him so he opens up his big egotistic trap and manages to turn off any public sympathy he might have picked up.
I go to games with my dad, I have done for 32 years. We are considering joining the boycotters next season if he hasn’t sold by then. My dad is in his 70’s so I’m running out of time to make memories with him and Roland is potentially ruining that even more. I could go to my dads house on a Saturday and help him paint a shed, but that’s not fun. How many memories has Roland cost others to date? On that basis, am I bothered that he has to spend 100 euros to remove graffiti? No, I’m not. He will probably find a reason to withhold 20 euros anyway and only pay 80.
Boycott mate, take your Dad out & do something nice every saturday. Enjoy every minute that you can.
Seeing as Roland is the only person connected with the club who has been responsible for vandalism in recent times - how else can you describe what he has done to Charlton? - I think it can not be ruled out that he did this himself for sympathy as has been suggested already.
My opinion is this is great and he is lucky that it’s only just a little bit of graffiti that can be cleaned up and sorted. He deserves far worse. He ruins thousands of peoples lives regarding something that we love so much, as said two wrongs don’t make a right, but this is not even close to an equivalent of what he has done.
As much as we'd like to take all the credit, we must stress that it wouldn't have been possible without the idea being presented to us along with an all expenses/costs promise from @CARD out of the protest fund.
Good work by whoever did it. He buys our club to use as part of his mad experiment and as a plaything for Meire. No respect for our history, neither of them. A bit of graffiti is the least he deserves and I hope whoever did it got great satisfaction. Just sell at a realistic price.
If it turns out that the perpetrator(s) is/are British, and someone is accused of committing a crime, they should be investigated and, if appropriate, charged and prosecuted. The full force of the law should be meted out, and, other than in exceptional circumstances, tried in open court, where charges can be put, evidence examined, a defence presented and verdict reached. Departing from this rule of law is very, very dangerous.
I'm very surprised that this hasn't been outlined already.

Desperate we may be, frustrated, that's for sure but 'pathetic' and 'stupid' ? Never.

I sound like a right old goat when I speak/write properly

well it worked as it's now made Roland sound very stupid indeed.

Hmmm...
Thanks.
Roland turns up on talksport and gets made to look a complete twat.
On that basis I'd say it was worth it.
Call that graffiti? - bloody amateurs.
Dont worry as our lips are sealed.
