I mean...we're a few places higher up the table than the day he joined, he must have done something right

He replaced the faded seats .1

Life's a pitch, with under soil heating.0

Vampires have no reflection4

He didn’t come
he didn’t see
And he certainly didn’t conquer6 -
Started off bad and then went down hill from there really3

Out of her depth disaster of a woman0

I've just checked btw - we were 19th when Roland took over, and are 17th now. All that piss and vinegar for two places up the table12

Not a single thing I can say in his defence.
Not one
Just pleased we have been cleaned of his toxic ownership.12 -
We got to see some good signings: Buyens | Gudmundsson | Bulot etc.
He then stumbled his way into hiring Lee Bowyer and accidentally gave us a great day in May
Thats it though, an old idiot who got extremely lucky with some rare good decisions
Got found out for the incompetent idiot that he was for the rest16 - Sponsored links:

Champions League here we come.1 -
I think he thinks he’s well meaning but unfortunately he is a fairly arrogant fool who made a lot of very poor decisions in the first few years and Katrien and Driesen were both in that categorY

He took forever to fuck off.8

I hated it6

He made Karel Fraeye our manager which I think must be one of the worst pure footballing decisions of all time.17
-
In an odd sort of way he galvanized this club.
Wholly unintentional I should add.9 -
An owner who didn’t believe that winning was important in football.
He has been a cancer in the club. Could not be happier that he’s gone.11 -
Achieved nothing.Got very lucky with his final managerial appointmnet default selection.At least, however, the club was never in danger of going under and that fact alone means there are worse owners still operating in the EFL.4

He was a cucking funt, end of.5

I’ve only really met one person in my life who I would consider to be ‘evil’. Most the time you just don’t see eye to eye with someone or don’t get along for personality reasons, or a misunderstanding.I don’t think Roland is evil. I respected his theory on how to deal with FFP at the start and hoped it would work. Sounded like a way to make us successful without getting into debt.He just didn’t understand the landscape of what he was getting into, and it spiralled out of his control. His arrogance was his undoing because he wasn’t willing to learn from his copious mistakes. He nearly ruined us, so we’re justified in detesting him. March51 left us in the middle of all this so I could never forgive that. Dad going when we were at a low ebb for such stupid reasons. Instead of hating him, I’m just going to forget him and hope we haven’t gone from bad, to very bad, to worse.33

I’m a bit disappointed that we have not had an incoherent rant from the senile fucker as yet unless of course he can no longer demand it go on the website.1
-
He dead to me - has been for about 5 years now.2
-
NEVER EVER thought I could hate Brussels more...
Then Capatan Shitweasel rolled into town and ripped the gizzards out of my ONLY desire!0 -
By pure luck he ended up with Bowyer who became a miracle worker. The best time period was when he let the footballing people get on with managing the club and he didn’t get involved.1

One weird thing that sticks out for me was that Simon Jordan stuck up for us.2
-
That's like staring into a steaming pile of shit and looking for positivity. Just scoop it up, put it in the bin and move on.0
-
That the fans of Burnley, Coventry and Brighton etc stood with us in our protests.12

Reflections?
Never ever wsnt want to go through a shit storm like that again.2
