Dudu Dahan is one, Fraeye is another. I am assuming there are many other 'Fraeye's' around Europe.
So a football agent (who clearly would have an interest in promoting 'his' players - and who seems to attract controversy, see link below) and the part-time former coach of a Belgium amateur club who's now also employed as the coach of a Belgium 3rd Division side...+ unknown similar people....?
I haven't been this excited since Lenny Gamble released his version of Doris Troy's "I'll Do Anything" on the B side of a Flirtations 45 on Casino Classics CC1 in June of 1978. Look it up Northern Soul fans.

Does anyone else think it's all rather insulting to brand every person RD employs as a sycophantic, yes man with no mind of his own and no pride in their own ability or profession ?
It would seem from the information we have gleaned from byl and others that Bob Peeters is highly regarded in his own country. Please explain to me why any coach would take a job where he does not pick the team pretty much ensuring abject failure and the sack which would irrevocably tarnish his reputation and future career prospects ? Duchatelet is a hugely successful business man and I am certain that he only employs people in senior roles that are good at their job and have the balls to stand their ground.
It's obvious that RD is not your usual football club owner but this continual character assignation of every prospective RD appointment ( including Riga) does this site and Charlton supporters no credit.
I await the abuse for being a Duchatalista which I am not.
It is more about status. Powell and Riga had status. Riga particularly so, after doing such a great job and keeping Charlton up. Remember, he did it by playing the network players relating to their skill level and fitness. The best performance was against Watford with no network players in evidence. Thuram got no change as first team goalkeeper, which is why Thuram threw his toys out of the pram (if they were thrown at him, he would not have been able to catch them).
Peeters may not be a yes man, and out of respect to SHG, I will hold off on the Nodding dog dogcilla / Churchill reference. What he does not have is a great status at this time. Not status sufficiently to resist Roland / unnamed football advisor's recommendations for players for the club. Roland has what he wants, a coach of reported talent but not enough status to oppose his decisions and strategy for the club.

Very perceptive, and a very good point indeed.
Still profession suicide in playing players not good enough. Getting relegated, getting the sack and looking incompetent and sycophantic to any prospective future employer.

Why would we want a Head Coach who would oppose the Owner? We need somebody who will be his own man for sure, but we're heading for big trouble if the Coach isn't onside with the strategy. In any event, I doubt very much that Riga hasn't been offered the job because he's insufficiently compliant.

Not saying it is an easy gig. Neither is being a Charlton supporter. It appears as though Bob Peeters will take the job in any case. We will see what kind of team runs out in August 14.

I am absolutely certain that RD has not become as successful as he has by appointing senior managers with no professional pride, no gumption and no character.

You can be picky and highlight 'oppose' if you want but the point about status remains the same. No one knows why Roland didn't pick Riga or the exact nature of conversations between them. Roland knows but he is damn sure not communicating any of the reasons for his decisions or what is up his sleeve.

I'd kind of accepted that I wouldn't have heard of our new manager, although had hoped he would have at least some pedigree.
The fact that I've never heard of him, he has no pedigree and was apparently 'popular with Millwall supporters' makes it rather hard to maintain positivity.
However, for now I'll still cling to my dwindling belief that our owner is ahead of his time, is implementing a model that will become one for others to follow and we will enjoy years of surprise success a la Man U under Busby and Forest under Clough!!!

SHG it has nothing to do with Bob Peeters and his relationship with Roland ! Honest.
Welcome Bob.
