I remember when we used to get the occasional 2-goal win. Whoever RD brings in, it would be nice to see that happen again.
Why have we developed this habit of upheavals at the start of/early in the January window? Slater-Jiminy takeover and Parky->Powell, RD takeover, Peeters->Capitaine 'Addick: it's terrible timing.
1. It's early January, so the transfer window is still open for three weeks yet. 2. If Luzon is appointed, it is unlikely that any more Standard Liege rejects will want to come to SE7 so we'll have to sign players from outside the network. 3. The coaching staff have gone too, so whoever comes in will bring in assistants that they want. 4. Sacking him didn't cost RD too much. 5. There are some decent British managers available if any of them are willing to work with RD? 6. Hopefully we won't draw so many games now... 7. The press conferences may be longer than two minutes. 8. It gives Charlton Life something new to talk about. 9. It will make next weeks 1905 quite interesting... 10. We still have a chance to save the season.

11. We might be a bit more positive on the pitch and actually turn up and have a go at winning a game.

Sorry to shatter your illusions.
Not my illusions MrLargo, just some perceived potential positives. I have no idea if we will sign anyone, from within or without the network. But whatever happens, I will support my club, as I have done for the last 48 years.
2 points a game for the playoffs. Win 12, draw 5, lose 4. 73 points good enough this season. Start by beating 6th placed Watford this week and then up we go.

I'm not having a go at you, and certainly not knocking your 48 years of support. I'm just sorry that none of your potential positives (with the exception of 7-10) are likely to happen. In particular, and I direct this not only at you, but also at anyone else who has said "Tim Sherwood's available", "Uwe Rosler could do a job", etc - there is absolutely zero chance of a non-Network manager being appointed, and I find it really odd that some people don't seem to realise that. At best, he might give the job to Damien Matthew, but the likelihood is that it'll be Luzon, Fraeye or someone else who is surplus to requirements elsewhere in the network.
TJ MS and co had the sense to retain PV, who got Powell (who they stuck with despite a bumpy start), they even had Murray, makes a big difference when Charlton people be they on the pitch or in the back rooms are running the club, it had become what Charlton is all about since the return to the Valley and some time before in my view.
The reversal of that albeit nearly complete, has for some I think made it is more difficult for some to identify with and to throw their money at in bad times. You can say man up all you like, but our club has changed dramatically.
RD may have a long term plan, but IMHO opinion he needs to share it with the fans more effectively if they are to put up with the bumps. I guess season ticket renewals will show how successful that approach is or not.

Both of us may not like Peeters sacking MrLargo, but it has happened, so let's move on! No use being negative, come up with your own positives - there are some, you will see!

I envy your "Glass Half Full" outlook, I suspect you spend a lot less time than I do being grumpy and miserable. However, I'm afraid this is the only positive I can come up with:
One thing I reckon is certain is that Bob was cheap. As I bet was Riga. Those who think he will splash out on a well known English coach are probably deluded. RD will have found a cheap candidate that he has been assured of as being up to the job. I would also expect it to be a short term appointment.
A well known London based football club are currently seeking a top coach to fill an unexpected vacancy. The successful candidate will be: a. Cheap. b. Always in agreement with the current owner on all matters (no matter what). c Have an extensive working knowledge of Belgium.
Any background in professional football would be helpful but not essential.
Please send your application and CV to Mr R Duchatelat, Boringsbeerp, Near Antwerp, Belgium. Note: Please enclose an SAE if you expect a reply.
I can tell you what happens next - Luzon manager by end of the day - appoints TBH as club captain - Watt will finish as top scorer - two midfield replacements will arrive by the end of the week with Buyens going back to Standard.
And with TBH as captain, they sell JJ to Huddersfield Town and he then comes back with Chris Powell at the end of February and bangs three in the back of the net to prove his point.
All the happy-clappers would really be out in force then

Watt & Ben Haim had no problem with Luzon. Just lost their places in the team.
In October, just after Luzon left SL
