Bob Peeters
He had a thing for openly slagging off the players in the press which was pretty amateurish to say the least.
But...
Wasn't there rumours that he and Katrien very much disliked each other?
Did Peeters ever stick the knife in via media as a bitter ex employee? Wonder if he would now and what he might say about the regime.
Strikes me as the type to not wana hold much back, but then again, why would he care now.
If he openly says she was shit etc, it might you know, help the cause a bit more.

What about if he needs another job off of Roly? Peeters is currently managing his 6th club in 6 years, so it's a distinct possibility that will be the case.
I'm fairly sure Peeters wouldn't give a shit about anyway.
See you in 3 months Bob.0 -
He's got no hair but we don't care.1

Ok
I guess once your managing a club in the Belgian pro league division, you've officially "made it" and everything else becomes irrelevant

I know I'm in a minority, but I liked him . We played some good football at the start of that season and i think he would have done fine if Henderson and Vetokele stayed fit0

God we really gave had a pack of losers manage our team in the last ten years, haven't we? (With just one exception)0

Rubbish manager, would still love to go for a beer with him though !5

As far as im aware, he is/was manager of Westerlo - who came bottom of league and were the only team relegated.
Lewis Coaches might be able to help you - coz he had a chat with Bob a couple of months ago whilst in Belgium- and I know that Bob looks out for our scores every week.1 -
Dunno I still think that Phil Parkinson did an excellent job under the circumstances.
When Parky got sacked we were fourth and didnt have a top Striker...
We then hired Powell who had BWP yet took the same squad Parky had down to 13th.
What helped Powell is the fact he had the Jenkinson money to create such a good squad and the fact he knew to sign the right players.
Also had small things gone right for Parkinson in our first League One season we'd have been promoted straight back to the Championship at the first attempt, we battered Norwich when they came to the Valley but they still stole a 1-0 win, had we won that (or had we beaten Exeter) we'd have got second23 -

Not so sure he is any better than a league 1 manager though. He had a bad spell at Hull - that said he probably deserves another crack at Championship level.

I've always felt its been highly debatable whether Parky is anything but a League One Manager at best.ricky_otto said:

He's already taken Colchester from League One to the Championship and felt he should have stayed with them when they got promoted, instead he went to Hull and then Charlton (two sides which had players who werent his squad) which is why I think he flopped yet is now why teams are reluctant to give a shot any higher.
I reckon this season it'll be between Bradford and Walsall for promotion from the Play-Offs and hope he does it and stays with them1 -
For all his many faults, in that home game against Derby we played the best football I've seen any Charlton side play since the Scott Parker days.8

If so then I agree... Seeing that Derby at the time were cruising the Championship (even at that early stage) we tore them apart!!3 -
Bob Peeters inspires the old wartime classic in me...
"We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I'm sure you'll be back at
the Va a lley...."
Of course this will apply to any other chump Dutchoven's employed here!2 -
He needs to behave. Surely he knows its his turn (again) next once Riga departs (within a few weeks)1

The home defeat against Leyton Orient in 2009-2010 is the one that sticks in the mind for me. Terrible evening game that we never looked like (or felt like) winning. That for me was the result that determined we'd stay down.ForeverAddickted said:Dunno I still think that Phil Parkinson did an excellent job under the circumstances.

But: Parkinson was unlucky. We still got a tally of points that would have secured automatic promotion in several preceding (and subsequent) seasons, and, of course, Bailey ballooned his penalty over the bar in the shoot out.2 -
To be honest dont remember that game yet the Swindon Town 4-2 defeat just before he was sacked was another dreadful performance, that was always a bigger shame because he'd won Manager of the Month just beforehand and regardless people should have known that we were punching above our weight (i.e. the Bally Smart signing proved how many money he had to work with) and that with the sort of squad we had, we'd occasionally have a defeat like the Swindon one.simonmatthews said:

Of course he was always going to go when Slater etc. came in because they wanted their own man (I doubt he'd have gone else) yet he certainly got the squad playing for the shirt like that memorable 2-2 draw with Swindon.1 -
His season finished over two weeks ago....He has an exteded contract with Westerloo now and from the horses mouth he does follow Charlton reports and results.0

I get that Parky didn't have much to work with, but the number of loan players he brought in was ridiculous, and the football was often absolutely awful to watch. He just didn't seem to know how to set teams up to score goals. My strongest memories of those days are wondering how on earth we'd get a goal--and yes I realize we had bad strikers and not much of a budget.
He's found his level now with the occasional cup run.0 -
Indeed, he took over when Westerlo was at the bottom spot and managed to save them from relegation.Lewis Coaches said:Westerlo finished 2nd from bottom ,Bob Peeters saved them from being relegated......Still will be manager next season for Westerlo and STILL playing top flight football in Belgium 2016-2017.He is agood guy and still follows Charlton.
