    Mel was at the training ground today and seemed very genuine in trying to put things right.

    Unless she was giving Katrien a one way ticket back to Belgium she wasn't trying hard enough!

    We are reaching the end game now, what a very bizarre turn of events,

    It looks very much RD was not aware of the scale of unrest until Sunday, I suspect tomorrow could be very interesting....

    This makes me wonder if this is the case. She's been pulling the wool over his eyes in terms of the real discontent - he's now seen it with his own eyes, and wants a explanation - she's had a grilling from him, and gone home and had a few too many Leffes - maybe she's already been 'relieved of her duties' and wanted a parting shot before the staff got to know in the morning ?

    You know when you wake up with a hangover and check your phone fearing what you said last night?

    That's Rolands world tomorrow morning

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but it's rather ironic that the club posted this message -complete with a jibe about finding a new owner - whilst we had a team playing at a club ran by a man who knows a potential buyer... #awkward

    That's right!

    Honestly, how we will explain this to our future children/grandchildren? I'm genuinely not sure I believe it myself. I've had to switch over to the US primaries (which don't make sense at the best of times) to see Donald Trump leading by large numbers in large states (?!?!?) just to have something feel semi-normal again.

    Things that we've done well on social media over the last couple of years:

    1) Shagging in the centre circle video

    2) The Bournmouth 19-0 tweet

    3) Our subs bench a few weeks ago

    4) Tonight

    In generating interest terms, our comms work is top notch.

    I can't remember the exact date, but I remember reading that the clubs meeting with it's sponsors is supposed to be happening soon.

    Maybe he discovered the damage today..

    Blimey. If any negative feedback has filtered it's way back to RD, that might explain the mental episode he had tonight.

    I suspect he's been boiling over since Sundays game, maybe that was the first time he's actually realised the discontent, who knows what info he's been fed.

    Certainly the time to keep the pressure up.

    Wouldn't be surprised judging by his mood if he won't be on a plane first thing in the morning.

    Astonishing stuff. Let's just take this statement: "in recent weeks Roland Duchatelet has met the fans".

    Simple question: who were they then?

    The Belgian 20?

    Maybe the FA investigation got to him - likely to result in a substantial fine.

    Mell will be on the blower to Charles and Maurice Saatchi first thing in the morning

    I think she has already left several voice mails
    Just in...read first seven pages and jumped to the last couple. Would read the rest on the plane home tomorrow, but suspect I could be on terrorist alert with the amount of expletives just reading and thinking about this particular Belgian mindfuck!

    As for poor Mel, she's been emailing fans@saatchi.co.uk for her old job back, but the auto-reply sent her to info@saatchi.co.uk...which just binned the email as usual!!

    Bye Roland & Kat...it's been a blast...

    Add to that the majority of current sponsors telling him they won't be parting with any more money to him from now on in, these are all things his spreadsheets haven't accounted for. More money out and a lot less in. Every little movement we do as fans will crack him further, we have to keep the ball rolling with clever ideas.

    One possible outcome is that RD treats KM (as its clear its been written by her) in he same way he does with his managers - so, she is removed and sent packing back to Belgium, and we get another sub-standard Belgian replacement,

    Last Sunday, some individuals did not come to The Valley to watch the game and support the team, but came to create disorder on the pitch and interfere with the players and the game.

    Must be the new 'communications manager' taking communication to the 'next level'. Their recent groundbreaking interview with Roly has convinced me that the club is in good hands.

    I think this has been put on the OS to undermine KM, might be wrong but the quote at the bottom of the article is from her and has been added in, It's significant i think, might be wrong but let's see what happens next.
