    Been to Belgium once. Was early 20's. Went to Brussels and went to the pub where me and my mate got chatting to an elderly gent. He was interested to hear we were from England and seemed very appreciative of all English from WWII. Insisted on buying us beer all evening. Great country!

    And then bought your football club!

    Big interview with Peeters in the SLP today putting a lot of the blame on KM.

    Do I need to send Bob a bunch of flowers?

    That would be a nice touch, ask him on the card if he can make Bromley Addicks on 12th March for a Q&A with her, I'm sure Henners won't mind. :wink:

    Wow, if so good work, should bump up the membership with those two back to back appearances and you may have to lock some attendees out then? What's the max numbers for fire regs?

    "At a certain stage people get tired. We said we need to act - instead of react"
    "Its the same with the goalkeeper. Neil was doing alright but we needed a goalkeeper and the only one we got was the second keeper at Ujpest. No offence, he's a good player - but it's not normal if you bring in to be your first goalkeeper at Charlton."

    "There are players that have already played 30 games"
    "They are also mentally tired. If Katrien thinks with one karting session we are going to turn it around, then you have a problem".

    "A good player in Europe might not be a good player in the Championship."

    "We'd spent hours and hours with Phil Chapple and the technical staff on signings and then the answer would be no"


    "What can you do? Why waste energy in meetings? You need support me with players, not words. Nothing happened"
  • Sounds like Peeters is full of s***e and blames everyone except himself. He must of go that from his 'wall days

    "All the players I brought in, they played .... there were some players they pushed to you too. I think you can fill in your own names."

    "And even after a game it was always about those players. Why did they not play? Why did they not come on?

    "You have to answer, is the network working, and not only in the Championship. It can only work when they are on the same level".

    "I played my team - and it cost me. When people say why dont you play him because he's a premier league player, then I have my thoughts about the recruitment."

    "A lot of players sent me a text - I think those were the important players. They called me, even yesterday. If I see all the messages and calls I get from them then I think the players are still behind me.
    "All the players I heard from - I'm not going to name names said it was a ridiculous decision".

    I'm sure he is telling the truth about player recruitment - there is a chronic lack of finance and ambition.

    It will be interesting to see if there is any response from KM or anyone else at the club to what's been highlighted. It's the same allegation that surfaced after CP was ditched. I suspect there won't be anything, leaving us in no doubt that it's Roland who picks the team. Something isn't right here.

    If what BP says is true then it would suggest RD has learnt absolutely nothing from his year in charge so far.

    Pretty much what the Romanian coach at Standard said when he was replaced by Luzon

    Hey guys,

    This network experiment was interesting and had potential. Lord knows at times I've been somewhat of a defender of the whole project. But, in the end it's all a bit weird and doesn't really work. No hard feelings - but maybe it's time for you to move on.

    Cheers x

    Who is he referring to there?

  • Very worrying. Same story as we had after CP was chopped. Most worrying is the fact that Luzon has a good relationship with RD, this is yet more evidence that this only comes about from doing what he says, even if that means someone who considers watching games a waste of his time deciding who does and doesn't play.
  • This club is a shambles and it will only change when Mr Duchatelet either...

    a. realises that the network doesn't work

    or

    b. he moves on and sells the club

    Thanks Roland you tit.

    Proves that until he cuts his losses and leaves we are in big trouble.

    It's a 3 way tie with Charlton, Blackburn and Blackpool to be the worst run club in English football.
  • I think Bob is telling the truth, his frustration trying to get players in and is told "No". then is just given the reserves with players in the Network.His is as ambitious as anyone in life and the last thing he wants on his CV is a dismissal after 5 months.
    He wasn't given the tools to do the job, he clearly can identify a good player, but he had a squad that was thread bare and had taken its toll come November.
    Personally like Riga he didn't deserve to be treated like that and he has no doubt voiced his opinions and due to the fact that he was big enough to do that he got the bullet.
