i live in antwerp and have many friends who are RAFC fans. Most of them are happy Jimmy Floyd is gone. JFH used to be a great a player in his prime. As a manager /head coach apparantly he is "not that great" so far.
Just to clear out - in belgium there is no thing like a football manager as there is in england. The management is done by the club, usually a managemant staff with employees who stay a really long time at the same club.. They decide on in- and outgoing transfers, of course mostly after they confer with the head coach & training staff about that. But it is the management that has the final say about transfers / long term club strategy. The head coach is just responsible to get the players fit, to prepare and select the team, to decide on the tactical stuff, etcetera, basicly evertything that happens on the pitch, but he doesn't negotiate contracts with players, nor does he do transfers.
With Riga and probably the next coach as well, RD will have a "head coach" as used in belgium, not "a manager" as almost every professional english club has.

That could well be the part of the future plans that SCP couldn't agree with.

About to become Burton Albion manager it seems, replacing another player who had an unsuccessful Charlton career (albeit for different reasons)
