How refreshing to have someone who answers questions honestly for a change. Liked JR first time round and even more so this time. Hope he gets who he wants in this transfer window.0
-
He has the quiet voice of authority.
I'm always suspicious of the "passionate" managers like Luzon, Di Canio and Sherwood, as their outbursts are just as likely to work negatively as positively2 -

Well, if it will help, I'll explain.colin1961 said:

@BigRedEvil said "I'm a big Watt fan but if Jose is telling the truth good riddance...".
What he means is that:
1. He is a Charlton fan (not mentioned but you can take it as read).
2. He likes Tony Watt as a footballer.
3. Tony Watt has been let go on loan to Blackburn.
4. People do not always tell the truth.
5. When interviewed, Mr Riga said it was because he was not committed to Charlton Athletic.
6. Despite his admiration for Tony Watt as a footballer, @BigRedEvil accepts that if Mr Riga is telling the truth (and he did no indicate that he doubted him), then that was a good thing.
I hope that you will find this explanation helpful.
If you have any further difficulties understanding what people are saying, feel free to ask for help again.
PS. I'm not really sure that "stupid comment of the day goes to" is actually a proper sentence...12 -

I have complete faith in this guy as a coach and think the bloke really does have the best interest of the club at heart.
His comments on Watt were spot on. Due to everything that is going on at the club I think Watt's status as been elevated. Good player. But he doesn't want to play for Charlton and is a disruptive. In different circumstances he would be getting a lot of abuse of this forum.
Those that boo the likes of Scotty Parker better have some reception for Watt when he returns to The Valley playing for someone else.8 -
Good interview. I really like Riga.8
-
Watt's major flaw is that he does not take criticism to kindly and becomes aggressive. Good player but a ball hogger but hopefully he can keep his temper under control before he blows up again for the rest of his loan so Blackburn will buy him.4

With limited allocated funds, Riga is wise to save money for the positions that need strengthening, with no disrespect to Reece Oxford, there are weaker areas in the team.Chrissy\\\'s Army!! said:It definitely sounds like he is in charge and he insists on having the final say on transfers. If that's the case I think not signing Oxford is a mistake but I 100% trust Riga's judgement.
I still don't understand why the Oxford transfer was allowed to get so far down the line If Riga wasn't interested though?
I think we have a great chance of staying up with Riga as manager. Good interview
Good to move out players who are not up for the fight. Vaz Te, although played out of position, has not looked interested for weeks. Spot on need for another striker. Vetekele is coming back from injury, lots better, but Charlton need another quality striker to ensure that there is competition for places and the strikers are allowed to rest. I don't have a problem with getting rid of Watt, as although he has flair, he is not the best team player. He and Vetekele has to be replaced. Not replacing him & Vaz Te would be a serious mistake.
Refreshing to hear an honest yet diplomatic upfront Charlton Head Coach interview for a change. Ball is in Duchatelet's court to fund a decent replacement.2 -
LOL
Take a look at the actual audio graph and see if you can guess when Louis's talking.
:-)8 -
Haha yes I noticed the audio spikes as well. Probably due to Louis holding the mic to be fair.
Isn't it good to have a head coach (manager) who says sensible things and doesn't resort to ducking hard questions or trotting out the party line.
Wearing cynical hat I think he may have been instructed to do this but I just don't care.
He makes sense, he can set up a team, he gets the players working harder and he has this fan behind him 100%.
We are still deep in the shit, and we may well go down, but at least we will be fighting.2 -
If true, good luck with Paul Lambert Tony.scabbyhorse said:Watt's major flaw is that he does not take criticism to kindly and becomes aggressive.

Not listened but this Watt who's not committed, is this the Watt that walked away with the MOM award last week?12

No problem with Watt going, do have a problem with him going to a rival for the trapdoor. Still don't get the Watt man love, the Adebayor of the lower leagues.AFKABartram said:Not listened but this Watt who's not committed, is this the Watt that walked away with the MOM award last week?

I did listen to it. Riga said, if Watt wanted to stay and put out for Charlton, he could have. However Watt wanted out and so he is.
Whether this is the whole truth is open to question but I am happy for watt to go, show pony distraction for me even though exciting to watch. I wouldn't choose him in my crew if backs were against the wall.1 -
Jose Rigas black and white army!3

We are starting to see now why Roland didn't give Riga the job despite his fantastic stint in 2014.....
As a manager he has this extremely annoying habit of actually insisting on being the manager and not taking orders from Roland or Katrien - far easier to have a malleable novice like Peeters, Luzon or Karel Brent.
This puts Roland in something of a bind since Riga gets results and performances out of the team that are beyond the wildest dreams of the other fucktards that simply do Roland's bidding without question.
Utterly bizarre situation.25 -
My take is that Riga does not have the resources personally, or the time enough right now to be one on one with Tony Watt. If he had world enough and time as the poet said, then maybe Riga would be able to devote some attention to building a good understanding with Tony Watt, but there are other things needing more attention than taking on Watt's issues.
I think a man like Riga, and as I have said before a man like Chris Powell, could get a tune out of Tony Watt, but I believe Riga wants to de-clutter in order to have one overarching focus. In this regard I make Jose Riga right.10 -

If it hadn't been for the protests KF still or the Serb would now be coach.
Depends on fitness and RD not selling Lookman before the window shuts.
Riga is a good fit for this team, but i understand why the boycotters would want him to fail. If by some miracle we stay up, No way should Duchatelet or KM claim any credit, as they are so clueless.
Need Poyet, to find his mojo and Bauer and Diarra to get fit and the Defense should start to look more solid.
Young Lennon is a battler but not quite there at moment.

A calm head that the players and fans respect. After today's performance, seeing him calmly manage the team, talk to them regularly throughout, and get the team to following w his game plan is immense. He has transformed Berdich into a potential man of the match, the defence were largely organised despite late Rotherham pressure, and the players looked like they wanted a o play for each other. Well done Jose.4

I really like the guy, not just because I think he's a good manager but he comes across as so genuine. Reminds me of Powell in some ways.5
-
I'm not into the 'cult of the personality', but it's clear - both last time, and this - that Jose Riga knows his stuff and he likes CAFC. To have jettisoned him - when it was evident that he understood us, and liked us - was a poor decision and shows the architect to be way off the mark. I'm no clairvoyant - and who knows what would have happened had JR become manager - but I reckon we'd have been a damn sight stronger than has been the case under X, Y and Z. Anyway, Water, Bridge, etc... it's good to have him back.
Can he keep us up? Yes, he can. We'll stay up - or not - based on mentality as much as football. And Riga is key to instilling a positive mentality. Best of luck to him and his players. Duchatelet? Go and play golf, or sudoko, or something that doesn't involve us. Go away, soon.3 -
He should either sell (Please do this) or hand over running he club to people who know what they are doing (goodbye Katrien and COO Tony).
He can't continue with his absentee know nothing decision making.2
