Sint Truiden is the team both RD and KM support - a small, local club at the heart of its community.
In a recent interview, KM said she was not too concerned re WHU move to OS, as Charlton have a very different proposition -to paraphrase, we are a family club, the fans feel part of the club, the players and manager are accessible, whereas at WHU/ in the Premier League, 'you are just one of the thousands of people and you do not feel as part of the community'.
So is the master plan to turn us into the English equivalent of Sint Truiden?

Didn't realise RD was a St Truiden fan. Knew it was the first club he bought. Isn't he from Antwerp?
As to whether he supports them, this is a quote from CP when asked if RD has any passion for football: "He’s very fond of Sint Truiden. He’s very proud of them, I think that’s his team."
(God, that's not helped me)
However, half a year ago they got an new owner ... with money. And they bought an almost complete new team consisting of talented and/or 1st tier experienced players. They started as a favourite for promotion immediately and lead the ranking as we speak. For the cup they managed to beat the No 1 of the 1st tier Jupiler league (Ostend- unbeaten untill then). When promotion will happen ... they plan to build a new stadion (we desperately need one in Belgium's biggest city). Fans who didn't fancy attending miserable games during the last decade again flock to the club , resulting in almost sold out home games !
Just to say ... RD now sees this is possible on a short term ... and it only takes a bit of money. He stated he was in owning football clubs for a limited amount of years : what's he waiting for ?
Ruend it.
!Totally!
