At least by doing something on his property, it’s impossible for him to ignore us.
It could be argued that pitch protests and street marches didn’t make a difference to him and was easily ignored.
But showing our distaste for Roland in town is going to affect him. Even if something along the lines of this graffiti means locals, businessman and politicians begin to call him and question what is going on and why is there peaceful town being bothered.
Defacing his ego is a way to get rid of him. He has more money to play with than us - even with the impressive funds raised by CARD - but he’s shown on more than one occasion that the weak spot is his own ego and how he is seen in his own community.
The fact that any Charlton fan who's lived through five years of humiliation and hell with this life-sucking leech of a billionaire feels the need to call out a bit of graffiti on his property is absolutely mind-blowing. Get a grip.
I'm always thankful we're not a rabble of delinquents like Millwall, but I sure as hell wish Roland had got a lot more blow back like this over the years than he has.
The bloke has wilfully ran into the ground something that is so dear to all of us, something that binds us with our friends, our families and our roots – and he's done it without a flicker of remorse, sneering and insulting us along the way. Fuck him, fuck his houses, fuck his hotel, fuck his windows, fuck the lot of it. Cannot wait until he's gone.

exactly, he hates it when we go to Belgium, for him that's a nightmare, his pride is worth more then anything.. and he is deluded and completely mad if he does not think over time that this will unwrap more in his home town (reputation wise)
what is the story with the toilet paper? Do you now have to bring your own to home games?
If I remember correctly this story started off as a mistranslation associated with replacing paper towel dispensers by hot air hand driers. It was then copied from one newspaper to another...

I am for this and want more of it. I completely understand if others feel differently and respect the other side. But I stand by my opinion and hope to see more. He is destroying something that belongs to a whole community. Law and order are useless when they are used to protect those causing community damage on a large scale. He won’t leave until he feels personally threatened. This is a good start. Yes I know this is a slippery slope and expanding such theories has a downside. Right now I just don’t care. I’ll worry about the downside of this belief system when he is gone. I am sick of feeling guilty about laws being used to only protect the powerful.
I've said before, the only real way to get to Duchatelet is to mug him off and make him look bad in his home town. He thinks he's the Lord of the Manor in St Truiden even though most of the locals think he's an arse but put up with him because of the large influence he has on the local economy. I don't condone criminal damage but this episode smoked the rat out of his hole in no time. He can ignore Charlton when it's hundreds of miles away, not so much when it turns up on his doorstep. I'm surprised this sort of thing hasn't happened sooner.

So am I, but now expect it to happen more often.
The local population seem happy to help anyone. He is certainly unpopular.
"The whole system, in my mind, with football in England is
wrong. They should not invite people like myself to become owners of clubs like Charlton – or any other club, by the way... the EFL should not sell football clubs to
foreign owners who do not know these kinds of things can happen. For my
life, it’s been a major mistake to do that. So it’s annoying me and it’s
not nice. I think it’s totally wrong that foreign
people get involved with English football."
This is the guy who owned Standard Liege, where, thanks to his financial stewardship of the club, the fans rioted in a major way and forced the abandonment of a game, the same game where he had been obliged to have guards in full riot armour at the VIP entrance and where he ducked out 15 minutes or so before the game was abandoned, for his own physical safety.
Clearly, the Pro League shouldn't "invite" foreigners like him to buy Belgian clubs, either.

I can only assume this had some input from locals. I've been to St Truiden but I have no idea where Roland's properties other than the stadium are and wouldn't even know where to start looking.

Maybe Duchatelet arranged it himself to play the victim a gain some sympathy

This absolutely.
He has been vandalising something in SE7 that is precious to thousands of people for the last five years. I reject absolutely the idea that he should be protected from retaliation because of his vast wealth.

I think a lot of people know where he lives as well as KM’s parents etc.

I have just read all 8 pages of this thread and given a lot of thought.
My considered opinion .
FUCK him.

Just asking you before NLA does.
