Conversely when I was on honeymoon, Deadly Doug Ellis was staying in the next door hotel complex. Apparently he was there every year, and tended to let everyone know what an important guest he was. A fellow English guest joined him in the sauna and took great delight in deliberately refusing to accept that DE was whom he claimed to be.Mundell Fleming said:A friend of mind was often mistaken for Carlo Ancelotti. He always denied it. However, in one Italian restaurant the waiters were so insistent that he eventually agreed that he really was Ancelotti after all. It turned out to be great fun and, of course, he got great service.
Now, who has been pretending to be Bob Peeters ..........
Anyway back to this story. Is the consensus that we have been taken in?1 -
It's not just catching the ball with Thuram that is the problem though. Every aspect of his game is just awful.0

smells like bullshit if i was being honest.
"we need a striker Bob"
"dont worry i have this shit hot striker coming over"3 -
Nope, Champions League payments depend on the country your from, and the domestic deal, so there is a base of around €8m, but the real money is in the national rights part, and a Belgium club might make €2m, while a Premier League could might take home €20m from being in the Champions League group.Showmetheway2gohome said:Won't Standard get big TV payout from champions league then if they get through qualifying round. Think it's more likely than us getting to premier this season although palace managed it and they are shit. Think your being harsh on thuram he only played three games and as for not catching the ball his a European goalie they don't catch the ball. I remember bobby bolder getting loads of stick like that at start of his career for us especially in arsenal away game which I think was only his second game. Remember being approached by selwin frogget in underground looking to beat up a arsenal fan he thought I had arsenal shirt on because collers were the same does he still go not seen him for years and Steve the skinhead.

Not taken in, IMO, but perhaps we are giving too much credence to one casual conversation where BP is trying to be friendly and doesn't expect it to appear on the internet. Remember his previous experience of English fans was a bunch of knuckle dragging spanners so he might not have realised that Charlton fans can read and write : - )PragueAddick said:

I agree that Charlton has the greater POTENTIAL but at the moment Standard are in a much better place. The jump for us to reach the Premiership will be huge and long term, especially if we are cutting back on first team and other spending as it seems we are. Not impossible, just difficult.
Yes Standard have done well but always remember Standard are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in Belgium. They have won the league 10 times. The success RD has brought them is relative.
I think Roland will be good for Charlton long term but it will be long term ie 3 or 4 years.
The concern, if you think what BP is said is accurate, is that RD is willing to shift emphasis from SL to CAFC even more quickly than he did from Sain Truvin to Standard. If so then how patient will he be if it takes 3, 4 , 5 or more years to get Charlton to the Premiership?

It might take 5 years, but by then we'll be on to the next TV deal in the Premier League, where finishing bottom might earn you £100m instead of the current £60m, and that alone will keep RD interested.0

I agree but to even finish bottom you need to get up first. QPR had parachute money, Burnley sold players for big fees and replaced them with good players at lower but still substantial fees, Leicester threw money at it as did Cardiff and Hull the year before. Palace got the Zaha money and had wiped their debt with another administration to end up with three fans willing to bankroll them.Rothko said:It might take 5 years, but by then we'll be on to the next TV deal in the Premier League, where finishing bottom might earn you £100m instead of the current £60m, and that alone will keep RD interested.
RD appears (and it is appears as we still don't have a firm statement) wants to do it another way. Cutting costs, letting FFP drag other clubs closer to use and us a mix of academy kids and network players to get up. Might work, might not. Might work straight away, might take a few years.
But Roland does not appear to be that patient with managers so how patient is he with Clubs?2 -
i really don't get why people say 18th is a success....18th is the bare minimum.
if we finish 18th we're gonna have another shiiiiiiiiiiit season.
top six is a success, 7-14 a good season, 15-24 a loada old ball bags0 -
i honestly don't think there is much truth in that statement on Facebook
I cannot see bob peeters going into that much detail with a random Charlton fan on a train1 -

LolRichard J said: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

come on .. there is probs some element of truth in that but definitely not all of it0 -
I struggle to believe that entire conversation happened, which is a shame, as BP would already be a point up, if he really is the type to just respect & tell fans the facts of the situation.2

According to his Facebook profile Tom works at Euro Tunnel and he clearly had a picture taken with Bob Peeters. We then had Tom's version of that conversation. Remember English is Peeter's second language so his understanding of what Tom was talking about may have been different . I think it was genuine and did give us some good insights, but we must understand the context rather than dissecting it like a club press release.
I don't know if you post here but thanks tom for sharing it with us.7 -
I think it was more on the lines of - " Good Luck at Charlton Bob"
" These
amazing waffles are ready cooked and are made in Belgium"0 -
I once sat right next to Chris Powell when he said
"Our budget isn't that much bigger than Rochdale's"
Within hours that was being reported as Chris Powell said "we have the same budget as Rochdale" and it still gets an airing ever so often to this day.
More recently KM said something along the lines of "We'd like to get all our business done by the end of June" and this had become "We're doing all our business by the end of June" and even "we were promised all the business would be done by the end of June"
People reporting that weren't lying or trying to trick anyone but the message gets garbled in the telling so that it was almost but significantly not the same. Change of word here, remove or add emphasis there and there is a different meaning perhaps from what was intended.
Or maybe it is 100% what BP said.11 -
I'll be taking it with a pinch of salt, I just struggle to believe anyone would go into that much detail with a complete stranger.0
-
I wish I wasn't so bloody gullible. I really do. Hold on. Wow. Apparently I've won £1.5 million in a Nigerian lottery I didn't realise I'd entered. Bloody GET IN!5

Just seen on Twitter that they have just sat down to conduct a video interview !!0

I've won that lottery five times now, each time i have paid out the £699 fee to collect my money but it's never come. If i win it again I'm going to pay the £1,399 express money transfer fee just to make sure. Bloody banks eh grrrr3

Yeah sorry peeps yes they ahve just sat down with BP0

Saw 'Bob' yesterday in the car park.....or what is left of it at the Valley. Must admit he looks a big guy, he had a couple of buddies and they mumbled something (sorry do not speak Flemish/French)
I actually thought they were looking at the heavy plant at the back of car park?.... He got into a black 4 door Porsche with a foreign number plate. No idea who the other two were?
So the Bob has landed....... He looked straight at me, and walked on......He had been with Katrien, as I saw here as well........ They were also still working on the pith, or 'beach' as it is at present, apparently they are on 'time' according to a CAFC source.....0 -
Bob and Katrien are on the pith? Hope they are not driving.8

I see the camera they use is so archaic the bitrate is only 17mbps. That's around the same bitrate as the iphone 5 there or there abouts. No wonder the cafc player stuff looks a bit dodge

First reports suggest that Bob Peeters is settling in very quickly and integrating into the club and that the staff have been impressed with him. Work's going on trying to keep players and sign new ones, so, fingers crossed, we should be quietly optimistic.5
-
interview now online to player subscribers, jus seen 42sec preview on youtube0
-
Snippet uploaded to YouTube regarding transfers , peeters stated that we are in for a number of players and the deals are looking good "just got to finish them"0

To summarise, he says:
we need a few upfront.
And wingers.
And in the middle.
And down at the back.14
