More Roland Fuckwittery

in General Charlton
had a fella in the cab today and got talking football. He’s a Southend supporter and his company has links (sponsor??). Seemed to know a lot of people in football. 
One of his best mates is Kevin Nugent and he told me of a game when he was our caretaker manager which we won 1-0, our goal coming in the first half. Allegedly he was told after the game that RD wanted to speak to him and he wasn’t happy. When he rang RD he said “it is not good enough. We should be beating teams like this!!!”  Apparently he’d only seen the 2nd half on a stream and thought we’d drawn the game 0-0 
another time he claims Katrien tried to tell him who to pick and he refused’ saying as long as he’s manager, he picks the team. 
Maybe bollocks but sounds all too probable

    I have heard the notion that Katrien wanted to pick the team before. Have no idea about the truth of it.

    Could only be the Port Vale game? Won 2-0 both goals in the first half.

    Not very surprising though is it? After all he demanded the EFL 'acquire' the club. Nothing will ever be more shocking than that...
    Until the next thing he does before he sells!!

    What's even more astonishing than proposing the EFL buys a club, is that Lieven De Truck told the Fans Forum that he was going back to the EFL with Roland's demand that they buy us after having been ridiculed by all and sundry and having received a very clear message from the EFL that they had no remit or interest. It's really not hard (for people who enquire and listen) to understand that the body which represents 72 clubs is designed to do just that and nothing else that would contradict that.

    It does have Roland and his crazy regime written all over it!

    And I fail to see how Roland can claim it is about buying a British club, given the protests he had whilst owning Standard Liege!

    Didn't she also want to make our home kit the white kit with the red sash that ended up being used for our second strip? The woman is a menace

    Perhaps RD is trying to provoke some admission of fault on the part of the EFL for not enforcing or retaining FFP rules as they then were, so that he can decide whether he's got enough of a case to sue them.  The justification for losing a lot of money in English football that he has now constructed for himself is clearly that it's the EFL's fault, not his.

    He could have looked on this site were there was a thread which pretty much unanimously predicted not much would come of FFP.

    I think it's an eventuality we need to be prepared for as Roland isn't selling. That said, neither his wife or son will be prepared to countenance the losses and won't have the need to save face over the historic losses so will want a quick sale.
