    'Voice of The Valley has also been told that a meeting took place at the weekend involving Fraeye, Meire, chairman Richard Murray and two senior players at which Meire asked the players in front of Fraeye whether the latter was good enough to continue.'

    Oh wow, would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

    My thoughts exactly. Extraordinary if true.

    Humiliating for fraeye and the two senior players being asked if he's good enough while stood there.

    Almost feel sorry for him.

    Especially considering it seems he made it clear to Meire that the next manager had to be someone with experience of the league after he had been sacked. Makes me feel a bit bad for him too. Almost.

    If that's true then its unbelievably (and unsurprisingly) amateur from KM. What a pathetic attempt to pass the decision. You're the CEO and you cant see that KF is an imposter? Why is she even here if she cant make the most basic of decisions without putting senior playing staff in shitty awkward situations where they have to dig out their own manager without knowing if he'll be in charge for their next game WHERE HE MAY HAVE TO PICK THEM!

    "We have learned that Fraeye himself advised the club that it needed to appoint a manager with British experience to succeed him."

    Who were the players and what did they say?

    Well Riga was the number 1 choice then.

    Thing is, Fraeye had as much experience as Riga had when he took it up. %(

    Riga had managed in the Belgium first division and the Europa league, but harsh on the fella to compare him to KF

    Interesting that his failure at Metz came on the back of a popular coach taking Metz back from the 3rd Division to the 1st where they have spent most of their history - Riga was appointed at the start of this season after they had been relegated to the 2nd & the coach who had rescued them from the 3rd Divison had finally been sacked.

    So he was inheriting a team & legacy built up by another coach and having been relegated I guess he was expected to be at the top & challenging for promotion. His latter form 3 wins in 11 & 5 defeats in 6 must have persuaded them that he wasn't the man for the job.


    I do wonder given his amazing abilities where were the other Championship clubs chomping at the but to hire him in between his (unjust i guess) sacking at Blackpool & his reacquaintance with his big buddy Duchatalet at Liege in February 2015?

    Wigan, Brighton, Reading & Norwich all sacked their managers while he was unemployed & yet I don't recall any of those clubs clammering for his services!

    One can only assume it was Jackson, as captain, as one of Henderson, Solly or Diarra. It is a ridiculous position to put them in.
    Any respect they had for her must have fizzled away now.

    Does this not smack of peer pressure (if she wanted them to say - "yeah we love him") and possibly borderline bullying?

    Sorry. That should have read British experience.

    I don't know what was said at the meeting, but I was told that the meeting took place including those people you mentioned from a first-time source. I didn't believe it, to be honest. But if you've heard the same thing, that's confirmed for me.

    I'm someone that has never posted a rumour in their life, and -regularly- calls out the people on here who claim to be ITK, so I don't post this lightly.

    It sounds to me that she is a coward herself and wanted the players to say 'no he isn't good enough'. That way the players are essentially sacking him rather than her doing it.

    It wasn't the fan's forum she told that to, but the fans' meeting.

    So did the players say he wasn't good enough? They then gave him another game!

    Seems the players then decided not to try and 5-0 made sure they listened

    If they said no, why was he still in charge come Tuesday?

    The woman's a bigger coward than Fraeye.

    Then again, its little surprise when she's a qualified lawyer.
