Charlton and the "Network" - according to KM
"KM said Alcorcon and Sint Truiden have no impact whatsoever on Charlton. She said that 'early on' there was some reliance on other clubs in the network and some player exchanges. She added, 'this is not an issue now' and said that today it [the network] was principally an information exchange"

Liar, liar.
Or totally unaware/deluded.
Take your pick.2 -
I don't know why we even bother dredging whatever nonsense falls out of her cock-hole
It's like that shitty drone music you used to get in lifts in the 90's2 -
I'll probably get burnt as a heretic for this, but, in terms of players at least, imo, the network has been reasonably beneficial to us.
Of the players that joined us directly from a network club, i.e TBH, Buyens, Reza, Astrit, Bulot, Thuram, Watt, the Serbian keeper whose name escapes me (have I missed anyone?), a couple of notable disasters aside, most were actually reasonably successful for us. We haven't signed a player from within the network since Standard were sold, but a number of our unwanted players have been dispatched and there allowing, on the face of it at least, some lightening of the wage bill.
We did pick up a couple of managers from within the network that left a bit to be desired, but the majority of poor player signings were made from external to the network.
The network of clubs isn't and never has been the real problem, it has always been the people running it.2 -

Nego, Koc, Tucudean. I know what you mean, but I cannot see that any one of the players listed has had a lasting positive impact, even if you just assess them on games played.Exiled_Addick said:I'll probably get burnt as a heretic for this, but, in terms of players at least, imo, the network has been reasonably beneficial to us.

You me some very good players - however, we find ourselves starting our second season in league 1 and those disasterous network managers as well as KM are to blame. Oh, and RD.Exiled_Addick said:I'll probably get burnt as a heretic for this, but, in terms of players at least, imo, the network has been reasonably beneficial to us.

Yes he's getting rid of players on big wages but do you think we will see that money? I don't. We also haven't received a fee for the players either (if we have it will be a minimal fee to appease FIFA).
The network is awful. A handful of decent players (Buyens, TBH, Bulot, the unfit Astrit and the unfit Watt) from Standard just isn't good enough.0 -
I hope this is NOT the reason KM has been keeping such a low profile this summer!

Tex as well, was the last network signing. I thought he looked better in The Championship as he didn't look motivated to play League One football.Airman Brown said:

Buyens I also feel was a very good player, a great passer of the ball. The problem for him though was he had the stigma of being Belgian as well as the network stigma.
Neither is ever going to be in the hall of fame but under different circumstances could have been very successful signings.1 -

In essence, the question was 'would Charlton have a bigger budget if Roland Duchatelet did not also own Alcorcon and Sint Truiden? '
In essence, she said no.1 -
Still, at least she should be able to manage the Tex and Ceballos transfers without ballsing it up2

Easy to forget we finished comfortably in mid table in the championship during the first full 'network' season, and probably the time when the most network players were at the club. TBH, Buyens, Bulot, and even Watt were significant figures in that season. The trouble is, only one of the stuck around and that was Watt who has gone badly off the rails. The other 3 may have done the same, but hard for them to make a lasting impact in just one season.Airman Brown said:

I maintain that the network, or at least the idea of it, isn't the problem. It works for other clubs. So much of what RD and KM have done is okay in principal, it has mostly been the execution - such as appointing cheap, unqualified managers, or having Driesen advising on transfers - that has been the problem.6 -

the woman is either reading the wrong script or is digging herself deeper into disrepute as a liar .. as well as being totally incompetent and a fish outta water1

Indeed SL being sold probably adversely affected us, as that probably cost us the chance to keep BulotExiled_Addick said:
