Another statement from Roland on the OS

Yes he did. Because he thought he could get away with it. He didn't have the vision to see that a small amount of investment would have guaranteed a return. But he still may get it, only it is more in doubt now. But nobody can tell me that when we sold Grant and were without Taylor that those lost points haven't cost us automatic promotion.5

I think people are reading to much into this. He is going senile.
His only worry is not achieving sainthood after he's gone. Clearly what gets under his skin is anything that taints his image as a campaigner for harmony in society. He can't abide his image being trashed with evidence of causing disharmony amongst the natives in SE7. His only weapon is to discredit his detractors, and try and prove they brought disharmony on themselves.
He has no motive in damaging the club, but his obsession with his crusade to prove the fans, (rather than his own incompetence) have stopped him in realising his plans for getting the club to the Premier League, means he can't praise a manager who publicly acknowledges the part fans have played in supporting him and the team and credit for what's been achieved this season.
Has tried to portray the lie that the fans didn't support the manager he tried to recruit and that manager has done better than the manager the fans support.

To Mametz,you have a knack of completely mis interpretating posts.Read what I have said,I believe that he is now totally pissed off with the success the club is having and the fact that management players and fans are as one.He in my opinion has issued this statement as a wind up to get people talking about him again rather than have supporters being on a high due to recent acheievements.Nowhere have I indicated that he should not be slated for his stewardship of the club.It would have been better in my opinion to ignore his statement and get on with enjoying the moment.There is only one thing that matters now and it is not reading the provocative rantings of someone who has no affection for the club whatsoever.0

Unbelievable....what an arse that man is.1

How would he like it if someone had stayed at one of his hotels, then mentioned and praised a competitor on a review of his business?
Just a thought.

May have to cancel though due to the play offs.

I clearly haven’t misinterpreted your post. You have gone even further in this latest post where you have stated that people shouldn’t even read what Roland has said or written.thickandthin63 said:To Mametz,you have a knack of completely mis interpretating posts.Read what I have said,I believe that he is now totally pissed off with the success the club is having and the fact that management players and fans are as one.He in my opinion has issued this statement as a wind up to get people talking about him again rather than have supporters being on a high due to recent acheievements.Nowhere have I indicated that he should not be slated for his stewardship of the club.It would have been better in my opinion to ignore his statement and get on with enjoying the moment.There is only one thing that matters now and it is not reading the provocative rantings of someone who has no affection for the club whatsoever.
I think what you are trying to say is that it would be better to concentrate on the excellent performances of the team rather than the mad ramblings of Roland. The trouble is that it is impossible to ignore a man who has the very existence of our club in his hands. I do not believe that these statements are made out of spite but rather they are the genuine beliefs of someone who is on the “ spectrum “. He really does believe that he is a genius and cannot understand why other people can’t recognise that. He does think that a pimply youth in front of a computer is the best way to scout talent, he does think that we want to watch the premier stars of tomorrow briefly playing for our team, and he almost certainly thinks that Bowyer can be replaced by someone at half the price. I don’t think he feels vindictive towards Charlton fans in general because only 2 per cent disagree with him. He is a nutcase with a messiah complex. That is very worrying.
I’m genuinely pleased that you are enjoying watching Charlton winning at the moment and like you I would love to see us get promoted at Wembley. However, I can’t rid myself of the nagging feeling that win or lose we will be Bowyerless, Ariboless etc etc before next season kicks off.2 -
Whatever communication Bow, Jacko & Gallen receive between now and the final game of the season, whatever the outcome, they'd all be justified in telling the septic old fistula just what a graceless (word the moderators request we don't type anymore), very loudly and very forcefully, pointing out that the success of their CAFC team this season has been achieved in no small part through the support and activity of precisely the people roly blames for Wilder choosing SheffU.
Wilder going to Sheffield was entirely uncontentious. He'd have taken that job even if it had come up weeks or months later - he's Blades thru and thru. But the malignant meddler knows the square root of naff all about football, cares barely a tenth of that for Charlton and is respected by precisely nobody.
Just sell up and go away.
If I heard he'd fallen down the stairs and broken his scraggy neck, I'll make sure to go to the funeral to make sure he's dead.2 -
To Mametz,I share the concern of everyone that the heart of our club could disappear in a flash,It would be tragedy because it is obvious that the players and staff we have at the moment are really happy being at our club.The contrasts possible are too painful to think about,get promoted and hope we keep it all together,or lose in the play offs and see it all fall apart.Dont know if my nerves can take the next few weeks,it was bad enough last time when I was 20 years younger.At the moment I take 11 tablets a day for Parkinsons,blood pressure and cholestral problems,will consult gp to see if a temporary doubling of dosage will help me survive.0

Can we not contact Wilder for his take on this shyte?3

Its all right when you stop shaking,hence the concern over the next few weeks,will buy the seat to my left as dont want to keep digging someone in the ribs.0

We need to find a way of making him think he's won when he clearly hasn't.
Can be too difficult. Blokes a Twonk.0 -
Maybe we can tell him we will erect a statue of him in the stadium if he sells. We don't have to tell him it would be a small one we put in one of the urinals!3

To Mametz,really appreciated your email,I thoroughly enjoy the banter which I share with you and others on the forum,everybody has their own opinions ,the world would be a dull old place if we all agreed with each other.My health is ok,I am 75 and have had Parkinsons for a few years,it does not stop me playing golf 2-3 times a week or indulging myself in my guitars and other musical instruments.I was in Ypres last year for a WW1 tour,very humbling to try to understand what all those young men endured,some excellent bars in the town.I will actually be coming down to Wales soon for a weekend at the Celtic Manor Golf resort.
Andy,I look forward to some more banter with you in the future,we both have our club at heart
All the best

I doubt it, he'd be too scared, unless he was smuggled in and out in a laundry basket.Hastingsaddick said:Wonder if he will turn up at Wembley....if we get there.0 -
He will probably turn up and take the credit for us being there.0

At the fans forum LDT said Roland wouldn't be there but he, LDT, would.0

I doubt he has heard of Wembley

28th April - Sheff Utd promoted to the Prem
6th May - RD congratulates Chris Wilder on getting Sheff Utd promoted to have a dig at Charlton fans
26th May - Charlton win promotion to the Champ
30th May - Unless I've missed it the club RD hasn't commented at all on our promotion. We've been able to offer new deals to four players though and sign up some u23s.

There was a statement on the site after the match. Clearly as a result of the reaction to the Wilder one, but it was there: https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5ceaca863909c/a-message-from-charlton-athletic-owner-roland-duchateletScoham said:28th April - Sheff Utd promoted to the Prem

Fair enough, I thought someone mentioned a statement but never saw that posted anywhere.0

A statement appeared on the website but it was clearly drafted, written and published by Tom Rubashow or a member of his team, any claim or suggestion to the contrary is not public relations but a lie.Scoham said:28th April - Sheff Utd promoted to the Prem

Point would be made in a non destructive way.
