in General Charlton
I'd just like to thank Karel for the great work he did as our interim manager - a great communicator and leader.

Wishing Wim all the best as our new interim but tbh not sure if he can fill Karel's shoes.

Please feel free to reflect on your favourite memories of Karel's reign.

    I especially remember the post-Huddersfield interview. Full of insight and wonder.

    A little part of me died when I heard he was leaving us. Great man, I fear we won't see his like again.

    When one thinks of the managerial heavyweights in British football, for me it's:

    Clough
    Ferguson
    Shankly
    Fraeye
    Busby
    Paisley

    Nope. Can't think of anything good.

    Who was he again?

    I liked how he sometimes tried to field as many left backs as possible. Courage in spades.

    Swapping the full backs over at 1-0 down.

    A real revolutionary in football tactics. Thank you Karel.

    rallied the troops at a difficult time, earned the respect of the players and customers and most importantly, put together a fabulous run of results playing tikka takka football.

    only one word can describe him-mastermind.

    we won't see his like again.

    During his spell he was my favorite Karel, only in 2nd place after Christmas Carol.

    On a side note, I hate Christmas Carol's.

    Goodbye Sweet Carol.

    To honour your time at the club Charlton have decided to retire the 44th minute.

    Dear Monsieur Fraeye,

    May I commend you on your 3 month masquerade as a football club team manager in London-on-Thames. You managed to hold on for a long time and although you played out the prank to the best of your ability, I am sorry to have to tell you that you never really had us fooled.

    May I also inform you that if you ever attempt to carry out this sort of prank again in the UK, we generally only do it for fun on April 1st; something historically referred to as 'April FOOLS Day'. You are welcome to that info/advice gratis; see it as repayment for making my day today after a pants day at work in the world of corporate sycophancy (something with which you may be familiar?).

    Anyway, best wishes for your future and good luck in your return to the role of La Grand 'Carrousel' ride operator at the Walibi Belgium family amusement park.

    His tactical nous was too advanced for the Charlton faithful. Who can get forget bringing on a teenage left back to play at right back whilst moving our right back into midfield? We scored soon after, so that proved his point right? Right? Errr. Goodbye and thanks for the memories.

    He was a man of few words.

    The few words are:

    Clueless, characterless and inept.

    Has he said goodbye and thanked the fans for their support yet?

    I feel that it won't be until we are looking back, many years from now, at who he gave their first team debut to that we realise what a truly great interim head coach we had.

    Karel Fraeye. A bigger comedian than Michael Macintyre, a lesser football coach than George Weah's brother-in-law but most importantly a better puppet than Orville.
