Luzon gets my full backing but the suits upstairs have taken the piss and basically lied to the fans. It's not unexpected though, they just aren't football people.
My best wishes to Mr Luzon. I hope he succeeds where his recent predecessors have failed I.e. scoring more goals and winning regularly at home. He has my support.
Deserves a chance deserves support welcome guy good luck and I hope you succeed
This! As posted elsewhere, every Duchatelet appointment has left the club in a higher league position than when they started.
If Luzon can deliver improvement over the next 6-18 months then I'm good with that. We will soon know if he gets any quality additions to the squad and I won't make any comment either way until I've seen a couple of games.
Sure it's turbulent but if you asked Charlton fans last January would they take this in exchange for sitting in the top half of the table most of this season how many would have said "no thanks"?
M.Duchatelet bought Liege four years ago and appointed a new coach every season...including Riga and later Luzon. They travelled from oblivion to top of the league plus having a crack at qualifying for the Champions League. Of course there are Liege fans who say he's a c*** just as there are Charlton fans who think he knows sweet FA about running a football club.
I feel the fans are not going to be so patient with this one and if results do not pick up quickly i can see thing getting very poisonous down at The Valley.
Given a contract till 2016,which is longer than the previous 2. I just hope Roland realises that shipping over reserve player's from his network of club's won't work in the Championship.
Hope Luzon does well, didn't do a bad job at Liege
I'm Charlton 'til I die I'm Charlton 'til I die I know I am I'm sure I am I'm Charlton 'til I die
Welcome Guy. You have my backing. No man or woman is bigger than the club. We are the club .... Onwards and upwards. The play-offs are still achieveable. BELIEVE C'mon you Addicks
Can't say I'm happy but I'm not gonna cry about it. Good luck to Guy. No need for people to give Guy hate, he himself has done nothing wrong. All he's done is taken a job on, doubt he's gonna purposely mess us around as his career is at stake.
I am annoyed at the club however. We've obviously been lied too. The bumpy ride stuff was a lie, the considering candidates statement from KM was a lie and there is no way they haven't had this lined up for at least a month. He has literally walked in with a suitcase full of clothes and got the job in the same day he's walked into the club. I don't believe for a second anyone else was considered.
The thing is, there is just as good chance he will do well as he will do bad. We just don't know. History tells you that foreign managers with no UK experience rarely do well in the football league, but that is not a given.
It just feels though that the disconnect between the Club and its supporters is getting wider and wider.
Hard to feel connected with the club when nobody in it is English.
Luzon probably thinks the championship is some micky mouse league. I remember Buyens saying on the OS how surprised he was at the size of opposition stadiums and the general quality.
The Belgians have totally under-estimated the strength and quality of the Championship. They are going round in circles trying to work out a solution without committing too much in resources. The quality of the players they have sent over haven't been up to it and the network is failing to provide the answers. This new coach had better have an understanding of what it takes to win matches in this league, otherwise he will be exposed very quickly. The Championship is a tough school as Big Bob has found out.
So much for taking their time and spreading the net wide.
Seems Luzon knew a couple of weeks ago as the rumours said he did.
PR disaster for the club which just undermines most of what KM has tried to do. Whether that was with or without her knowledge/involvement doesn't matter. Leaves her credibility in tatters.
I've never cared what fans of other clubs think but I do care when our own fans are being treated with so little respect.

The table doesn't lie!
But it also doesn't tell you the truth until the season has ended.
Not quite sure how I feel to be honest. We were on a slide with Peeters and I could see us heading back to Div one. This guy was obviously lined up a while ago, but if Peeters was having arguments with a lot of the squad then maybe he will be able to get them to gel again and return to the early season form they are capable of. Also Duchatelet may spend a bit more to try to prove he is right. Wont hold my breath on that one though. If it all goes t*ts up then when do the Standard Liege type riots start?

That's what I hope for. What I expect however...

Not surprised
I can't think of a positive but wish the fella well
Not my club anymore
Hope Luzon does well, didn't do a bad job at Liege
Did we really think Curbs was coming back?
RD has saved the club from administration, new pitch, new training ground facilites.
I bet after 5 wins we'll love Luzon
I'm Charlton 'til I die
I know I am
I'm sure I am
I'm Charlton 'til I die
