The club denied rumours in the Israeli social-media that they planned to sack Bob Peeters and replace him with Guy Luzon, just before they sacked Bob Peeters and replaced him with Guy Luzon. Our CEO claimed that there were 20 interested parties for the vacant manager post and that there had been interviews (not necessarily for all 20), however by a quirk of quantum mechanics Luzon was appointed before anyone else knew their was a vacancy - and in all probability before Peeters knew he was sacked. In fact, it has since come to light that Mrs Luzon got a VIP season ticket, a fetching red and white bobble hat and a six month subscription to Valley Gold in her Christmas stocking. Such was the speed of the appointment and the contrariness of Little Miss Miere's statements that many Lifers started chanting "Liar liar, pants on fire". Others kept well back because they didn't want to get poked in the eye by her seemingly ever growing proboscis. Luzon couldn't take charge of Charlton for the Watford match though; despite being proclaimed as our new leader in the dullest interview since Steve Davis quizzed Eric Olthwaite about his all time favourite binary numbers, the Home Office didn't process his work permit application in time causing more embarrassment to the club. Not as much embarrassment as the game though which was a five-nil spiritless drubbing that handed caretaker boss Damien Matthew the unwanted accolade of having Charlton's worst managerial record ever. Despite this, Matthew is probably about the one that comes out of this story with any credit. One incensed fan took his anger out on Katrien Miere by asking her some awkward questions on the train back to London. Other fans seemed to suffer a bout of collective sexism and argued that the guy was out of order for having the temerity to question a lady on a train. One fan was so upset on Katrien's behalf that he was on the phone to Interflora ordering bouquets all round in a attempt to keep the peace and win the heart of the fair maiden.
It was later claimed by some "in the know" that Peeters sacking had been caused by his habit of speaking behind players backs in Dutch, calling them muppets and cockwombles and generally deriding them for being shit. One player who speaks Dutch and who may or may not go by the name of Yoni Buyens told the others, at which point they picked up their pitchforks and collectively had words with Peeters and his double-Dutch henchmen. Things turned nasty and there were reported to be 'tussles'. One of the players told 'a director' and 'the director' told the owner and Peeters and pals were soon on the first coach out of Dodge.
Meanwhile, in response to Charlton's on field scoring crisis and lack of creativity, the powers that be have signed Miloš Veljković; a 19 year old loanee defender from Spurs to match the 19 year old defenders that we already have from Sparrows Lane.
To top it all, the great and the good on Charlton Life have been squabbling amongst themselves all week about when the minutes of a recent Fans Forum meeting will be published.
Welcome back to Nutsville, Wayne. It's been a mad two weeks.
