CBB - People will believe if they want to, dont bite to people who question it. Thanks for sharing.
Honestly I don't expect everyone to believe me to be honest thing that winds up is the questioning of where I work and telling me how it is there
Sorry if I've annoyed you. I wasn't telling you how it is, just seemed odd to ban football forums especially when most of the staff at our club read this site and quite a few are members. Different club though.
Just wondered as you were told Peeters wasn't coming, presumably by the same guy (that's why I asked if it was) so maybe, like most sources he's right sometimes and other not.

Yes I mean of course he could be wrong but just repeating what I heard
Thanks for that OP, keep the info coming if you get any scraps. Strange response from some. Perhaps next time if you could provide a blood and stool sample, CV and recent utility bills it might help.
Guys my place of employment is with a premier league football club..well now championship .. ( will keep quite who ) and I have a contact at Charlton who i normally budge for a bit of info - reason as to why I made the statement of where I work is so you can trust the following info isn't pure bull ,He is pretty high up but for personal reasons I will not reveal who he is but is always spot on ..
We was chatting about things then I dropped the riga bomb
I asked him if he knew why Riga was never chosen, in a near word for word phone call :
"Well from what I know he wasn't keen on riga cause of the standard walk out a couple of years back , granted he let him leave but that was because of his family , he didn't want to risk the team doing we'll but riga walks out mid season due to family issues and it messes up our season,
With Peeters Roland knew he would be desperate for the job and he has a fantastic reputation in Belgium for youth and that suits RD's policy down to a tee , he always thinks bob will be long term if it works out and wants him here for a while ..
I asked " but in that case why the 1 year deal"
Reply: money .. That's what is all about RD believes in this guy but has to cover the club financially hence the rolling 1 year deal , if it doesn't work then we don't have a big pay out to sack him although RD is extremely confident of Peeters.
By this time I had to go .. Instead of asking about poyet ( I didn't think ) I asked about COG .. Stupid me , he said
" From what I have heard he was asking for stupid money .. More then yann , we made a decent offer as we want a target man , but it appears his head has gone and thinks he is a consistent striker when infact this was his first good season although they are still negotiating, Peeters wants a big CF cause of how he uses the wings I have heard
Then unfortanuly I had to go .. This is honestly 100% if you look on my previous posts I post what I think is true, this guy told me yann was going couple of days before it was confirmed etc
I'm not happy riga went but I can see why is RD wants stability and financially stable contract .. I can see why.
I posted as soon as I got all info , thanks
Ps* if there is many mistakes I'm sorry as I wrote on my phone
I’m somewhat unclear how someone – even “pretty high up” - at the premier league football club you work for would have ‘inside information’ on Duchatelet’s motives for not appointing Riga?
I doubt that even people “pretty high up” at Charlton (with the possible exception of Ms Miere) know that.
It’s now clear that Riga is so desperate to remain a championship manager that he’s been prepared to sign a one year contract at free-falling Blackpool and work for the Oystons!?
Personally, I think vff's explanation is probably closer to the mark:

"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……
Peeters may not be a yes man [but]…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".

For me the most intersting part of this is that BP likes to play with wingers and have a target man. A proper 4-4-2 (either a flat 4 or a diamond 4) is proper exciting. Think of Stanley Matthew! I remember Holland over the years and even the old Denmark teams with Laudrup and Rommedahl tearing up the wings. It's so exciting to see.
Pair that with a little and large combo up front
Welcome Bob. If it doesn't work out with O'Grady then maybe you could dust off those boots :-)
Said it before and I'll say it again - I am excited at this new direction

Exactly its his thoughts versus someone who has explained his credible sources. You just can't help some people. With apologies to vff.
Just to make it clear I have no reason to doubt that CharltonByBlood is what he says he is, works where he says he works and was told by someone he regards as “pretty high up” what he says he was told (although whether that person was “pretty high up” at the premier league football club he works for or at Charlton is unclear from his post - unless he said so before he edited it?).
However, as I posted, what I don’t find ‘credible’ is that someone “pretty high up” particularly at another club but even at Charlton - with the possible exception of Katrien Miere - would have accurate ‘inside information’ on Duchatelet’s motives for not appointing Riga. They may be party to inside gossip but I doubt if it’s something that Duchatelet has directly disclosed to them.
Thanks for sharing the info you have - Some people have to have a sly dig, but I appreciate it. I shared some information a couple of years back and got pelters so will think twice next time! Sadly.
CBB thanks for posting take no notice of the few on here that like to pick holes and think they are better than everyone to try and accommodate for the sad lives they live.

RD basically didn't appoint Riga as he doesn't feel he could really rely on him over the course of a season.
It fits with RD only appointing Riga on a temporary basis in March.
Thanks for sharing the info!
Believe what you like
Thank you.
I appreciate you taking the time to post. Ignore the negativity. Most of us enjoy any snippets like this. Thanks again.
Sounds like a reasonable explanation though CBB. Thanks for posting.

Sounds sensible. We've been wanting financial security for eyes and it seems like we got it.
Some decisions he makes are questionable and risky but at the same time, sensible.
Time to sit back and watch
It worked with Darren Bent and Iwelumo.
