Roland - another statement (12/8/2019)

The_President said:

I just think that 14 thousand people are gonna be fairly pissed off if RD petulantly pulls the plug on something simply coz CARD issue a statement that fucks off RD, and also mazbe doesnt represent the feelings of the majority of the supporters any more.After all, if we had 14k there on Saturday, then how many boycotters do we have? 
Yes, we all want him to sell, we all want him to fuck off, but ffs there is timing!

I assumed the president was on a wind up last night?

If you ignore the fact that 30% of that statement and time line is pure lies, 30% of it is half truths and 30% of it is misrepresentation of that facts, its probably the first clever thing he has ever ranted.

We, meaning almost everyone that will ever read this post, know its lies, half truths and misrepresentation because we have taken the time to read articals, listen to pod casts and read thread after thread that disprove every word he said.  We also, by and large, are adults who are capable of weighing up evidence and drawing our own conclusions. 

I think we have all drawn the same one. 

However, we aren't his target audience.   If you are stupid enough, ignorant enough or don't care enough not to have heard more than one side of the argument it could come across as being vaild.  It also reinforces the "fake news" approach.  

Unfortunately we are now entering Trump land, every accusation will be shouted down as fake news, every new revelation will be greated with "you lied last time your obviously lying again".   Even when every word is true. 

Due to the platforms he enjoys all those "true believers" (although I can't actually believe there are any), the not arseds and the "everything is OK as long as we are winning" types will swollow some or all of it. 

Any CARD response has to be well thought out now, as I am sure it will be, because they can't "sing to the choir" as the choir haven't been hoodwinked. 

@Airman Brown can't you sue him if not for liable, for defimation and misrepresentation?  

Not without significant personal financial risk, but anyway I'm quite willing to fight my corner against Duchatelet and Murray. Today just shows the extent to which they were riled by the CARD statement. That was rather the idea.

Thanks Airman, finally it’s starting to come out. 

Interesting to read Airman’s summary of the previous lot. As a fella who took little or no interest in the governance of the club, it became clear, to even me, early in 2015 at the time that crouching idiot was appointed that the club under Duchatelet and Meire would just drift slowly downwards due to no coherent plan nor taking on board any constructive advice. Hence why even I turned up in Woolwich to freeze my nuts off and find out what the hell was going on and what could we do about it. It’s laughable that Duchatelet suggests that any protests started much later.

Will never forget how bloody cold Woolwich Town Hall was that night. 

Well done Airman that was an interesting read.

Wonder what else will come out in time.

Look forward to reading more insites into the years which runs in our blood about our club.

I wouldn't worry too much about Jim White. I actually learnt about this latest outburst from a London based proper journo who WhatsApped me a message about "another mad statement from Duchatelet". A good barometer of how it has gone down in the outside world. Unfortunately a mad statement from him is so common that it does not constitute a story, but if for example a frustrated buyer decides to break cover, this journo will be all over it.

Similarly with Facebook groups. They are the Daily Express of social media. They can be useful for community issues, but my sister says even the Eltham community one, where you might expect it to do a good job regarding thefts and lost dogs or cats, is polluted by nutters.

Duchatelet of course understands none of this, and helpfully refuses the professional advice from people whom he employs, who do.
