A lot of us are very interested in all you have to say, just ignore those that aren't (although I think @TheRedRobin was just expressing his frustration with the lack of clarity within the club right now, and not with your reply)
In order to really nail the difference between the British and Continental system, here are two scenarios which could occur . Please tell us how you would expect them to be resolved in a Belgian club.
1. The Head Coach(Manager) finds that a player in the squad, who was at the club before the HC arrived, is becoming increasingly uncooperative, and the HC thinks he is stirring up trouble with the other players. In Britain I think the HC would be able to say "He's got to go". And go he does. Would that be the case in Belgium, if there was a Sporting Director?
2. The Head Coach(Manager), needs a new striker urgently. He knows from the Board roughly what the budget is. The Chief Scout, working to his brief, brings him two options; an established 28 year old English player, and a 21 year old from Bosnia, who players for a lesser Swedish first Division team, but has banged in loads of goals for the national U21 team and is being compared to Dzeko. The Board might favour the young Bosnian, because they think he has development potential. but the Head Coach says, "too risky, and my mate Malky Mackay has worked with the English guy and says he's a good team player". So the Head Coach prevails. But again, in Belgium, would he prevail, if the Sporting Director had favoured the Bosnian kid?
for 1. if he doesn't listen to the head coach the head coach would proabably tell the player to train with the b-squad until he approves his behaviour or the coach would just not select him in the team or even not bench him. Can't have a player stirring trouble. usually sportive director agrees - after all it is the sportive director/sportive management who appoints the head coach.
2. same thing usually head coch and sportive director confer and discus the pros and cons and reach a decision that is backed by both to the outside world. It will depend on the club and the persons involved on who will have the last word if the head coach and sportive director disagree. But those occasions are rare. usually the head coach and sportive director need to work well together. if they don't it can have disastrous consequences for the club.
another thing - when the team doesn't do well and stays far below expectations, it is usually the head coach that is sacked - the sportive management usually only is replaced if their transfers prove to be totally not ok for a few years ina row and if there is a big crisis between sportive director and the owner/club management
Have Roland and byl been seen in the same room ? Seems far too keen /helpful to explain things Byl is either one of the nicest friendliest people in the world or one of Roland's stooges
I'm a cynic so please don't be offended Roland byl , I for one appreciate your explanations even if I don't agree with all of them and I'm sure I speak for others too

Any reason why read? Shocking if not a video interview
The quality of player - generated content is much worse IMO. Its prettier and more flashy but you wouldnt support Charlton if you were a style over substance merchant.
No it doesnt...its remarkably improved in terms of technical functionality.
The Website runs better.
The You Tube channel could be great
But I actually meant football player- generated content. I wanna hear what players and managers have to say, primarily football but life stories also. We have always been good at producing such media. (IMO match reports have slipped in quality - but I am not blaming a guy who seems to be learning his trade for this - inexperience tends to result in over-reliance on pastiche and cliche....compare everyone to Kevin Nolan which is a hard yardstick)
If I was talking about CAFC player, I would have said "Player generated content"
Not fair to criticise Peter who is brilliant IMO and gets better with every game and KillersBeard is awesome. And if your talking purely of software functionality, it is much much better now. Ugly Tone and Sneaky Skater probably stopped paying the host because it cost 500 quid to renew as we went into 13/14 season.
Perhaps when he does arrive we will start to see players come in because he is really the only one who will persuade them with the vision he has for the club(apart from wages!).
Tom Jordan who posted that picture on Facebook said this about their chat .Not sure how to do links on FAB. Interesting chat particularly like the bit about Thuram Tom certainly tells it how it is .LOL:
To be fair he was a top bloke his English is fine obviously has an accent but won't have problems communicating with players. I spoke to him about lots of things il try cover all of them. I said before he does anything he needs to tie down Poyet as he's different class he said he wants to and that they are trying to but Poyet is the problem as he thinks he's trying to listen to other offers (basically he wants to go) but he said he's seen him play and wants him but Charlton made a mistake leaving it so late to tie him down, he expects Morrison to stay, wanted o Grady and they are still working on it but he wants quite a bit of money likes the young lad joe Gomez and is gonna tell him he's gonna do pre season with first team I asked about Astrit ajdaravic but he said he's not the type of player he wants as he doesn't do much off the ball (aka lazy) says Callum Harriot is quick and has tricks but his end product let's him down (totally agree) full back wiggins solly Wilson all staying put aswell as cousins wants a few strikers and I said surely they've got to know the league not always these foreigners and he said about O Grady and a foreigner would work well together honestly can't remember the guys name but he said he's shit hot and should be a revelation I then asked about duchatelet and how we DONT want to be a feeder club for standard and he said he's spoke to the owner and that because they lost the league last year and he's not a massive fan of Belgium football anymore he's priority is gonna be Charlton and hopefully in 3 years we can be prem again and that the owner emails him and rings him up to 3 times a day I then said about pope in goal and he then mentioned Truham and I stopped him and told him to not let him anywhere near us again as he was bloody awful and he did say it could be mentally what's wrong with him which did worry me I said trust me mate he's shit he then said this is the first time he's met a Charlton fan and that it went well because he used to be at millwall I said that shouldn't be a problem and that we never beat them so if you beat them this season you'll be loved and he said he hopes so. Sorry it took so long as you can see this took forever, but he's a really nice bloke seemed proper genuine and he really wants to do well and I told him well he's got my support. Coya

Once again Byl is the NLA of Belgium and a speaker of common sense
But yet again it highlights that no one knows anything and that is driving you all mad
Seems far too keen /helpful to explain things
Byl is either one of the nicest friendliest people in the world or one of Roland's stooges
I'm a cynic so please don't be offended
