This was the ridiculous comment from some idiot Reading blogger in the i-paper on Saturday morning. I know the world has moved on but Reading … I mean Reading , for the first 30 years of my life they were a 3rd or 4th division side, it’s like Bournemouth or Watford or Palace in the premier league or Fulham . Whilst our current clueless owners hurtle us towards rubbing shoulders with millwall or orient or barnet- where did it all go wrong ?
Katrien may have no idea about our history , but I can tell her that I have lived it and although it has been a VERY difficult last 40 years , today they are presiding over one of the most depressing times over this period.
If a 4 year deal with Zakaraya Bergdich takes the budget over the top the I’ll tell you what , the budget is nowhere big enough . It’s all very well saying that we are already exceeding the budget , but if the current budget is one of the lowest in the division then regardless of whether the manager is Belgian, Dutch , Israeli , then 19 seasons out of 20 then we are going to finish close to the bottom .
What is the PLAN ?????
My son assures me that we will look back on the duchatelet era as the time which stopped us going bust , gave us a new pitch and academy which enabled us to transition from slimy chancer era ( jiminez and slater ) through the totally amateurish and incompetent era ( Meire and Duchatelet) to the intelligent , progressive era of someone who recognises the potential , actually knows how to manage a football club and has the funds and will to make it happen.
Oh the optimism of the young , oh god I hope he is right.
Do us a favour Katrien, appoint a selling advisor tomorrow and find us the new owners now ……………….
I couldn’t agree more,please Mr Duchalet,sell us and do us a favour.The majority of supporters don’t want you
Please leave Roland. Katrien have no idea about Charlton or what football fans want. You are clueless in the extreme. Please GO.
Could be worse, could have Cellino as our owner……..
