Duchatelet spouting his opinions again

Here is a selection of some of the contents of that article. Frankly, it beggars belief.

(Apologies that this is based on machine translation).

The article is in the form of a Q&A.

The first question is about the banning of water bottles at the training ground.

I only drink from the tap myself. Well, from now on they also get water from the tap. Thirsty they will not suffer, and they will not get worse by playing football. The club is losing too much, so it's better to pay attention to the pennies. Moreover, it is an environmentally friendly measure.

Next question was about what an entrepreneur looks for in a football club.

I've been wondering about that myself lately. (laughs) It was a mistake. The football business does not suit me. Too irrational. If you want to lose real money, buy a football club.

Before you knew it, you owned more than five football clubs at home and abroad. Typical Duchâtelet? If you start something, do you go all the way to the hole?

Maybe, but it was mainly a question of efficiency. If you control five clubs, there are synergies, for example by allowing players to circulate from one club to another. I was one of the first to introduce that model. Meanwhile, many other clubs do it too, like Manchester City. [Yes, that's right. Roland Duchatelet is now presenting his ideas as the genesis of Manchester City's success]

Question as to whether he will sell all his clubs

That's the intention, but I'm not in a hurry. Investing in football was the mistake of my life, at the same time it was an interesting sociological experiment. The parallels with politics are striking. They are two worlds where emotions win from logical thinking.

Question about protests from Liege and London

The supporters' protests do me little, because I understand that they do not really know me, do not know what really happened and continue on social media and unscrupulous newspapers looking for thrill. My conclusion is that the recipes from the business world do not catch on in football. [See that? The man who doesn't do failure, admits failure]

He goes on to ramble, at length, in barely coherent rhetoric about pensions, Muslim immigration (he's not a fan of second- and third-generation immigrants being considered "guests" rather than citizens), some unpalatable, borderline Islamophobia, Russian war capability, the sinking of the Bismark (I'm not making this up, honestly), "migrants can no longer have any economic added value", but then...

...this timely reminder of how Roland Duchatelet fully appreciates the precise feelings of people about him and his tenure:

"What [is to] stop you from increasing the wages of your 7,000 employees?"

Rest assured, our employees do not complain.

He's not in a hurry to sell the club. He doesn't think migrants add economic value. His employees do not complain about their pay.

Unbe-fucking-lievable

Well, here is at least one teacher who intends to help get the better of him - and has been working to that end for a while now.

And in case reading that someone in authority thinks perhaps my collar should be felt, they should remember this...…



…...the pen is mightier than the sword

(English novelist and politician - they pop up everywhere, don't they? - Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839)

Clearly a delusional sociopath who should not be let out in public without strict supervision.

Probably worth CARD highlighting some of the racist views from the owner of a great community club like Charlton, especially as the first one to launch it's own anti-racism campaign before Kick it Out even existed.

Good morning mascot.....nice to see you bubbling and effervescencing over in the exuberance of your own verbosity at such an early hour.

The biggest tool in football

It's as though he knows Charlton supporters are gonna be reading it

Still in full denial. That huge financial loss when he finally sells the club might affect his mental well-being at this rate because he will find it very difficult to reconcile his faultless leadership with a stonking multi-million pound loss which will shatter his self-image in his home country.

Can someone point me at the article, please? I'd, maybe, be interested in what he has to say about this.

I totally believe him when he says he is in no hurry to sell. All the evidence supports that. Those who claim he "desperately" wants out.... I think they are wrong. I think he is gonna make buyers come to his price and not vice-versa.

He'll be long dead by the time some idiot offers him £77m

Class A fucktard

Admitting selling in a hurry (if that was the case) wouldn’t make much sense from a negotiating point of view
