apart from alienating the fan base when Fraeye is appointed, I wonder what it will do for the morale of the players because I'll bet they've had a gutful as well.
Fraeye confirms it himself in this interview from what I can gather... If anyone on here speaks Dutch then a translation would be much appreciated!
No problem.
Yes it's official, I'm taking over at Charlton. I'm really looking forward to my 3 months in charge. If you thought Luzon and Peeters were a joke, just wait until you see me in action.
This interview basically is about today's match at Hamme. However, they did speak about Charlton. Fraeye mentions that he was approached last night to go to Charlton. He accepted this offer. He only told the Hamme team after the match that he was leaving for Charlton (this afternoon). The reporter asked Fraeye what his mission is at Charlton. Fraeye replies that normally there is a manager's switch if the club is not doing well. He explains that Charlton is almost at the bottom of the league and he expects that it is expected of him to get them in the safe zone. The reporter asks Fraeye if they will still see him in Belgium every now and again. To which he replies: of course, my heart is here.

He should have replied "of course, I'll be Hamme manager againin a couple of months"

Have an awful feeling that Roland hadn't actually thought of Fraeye,but he saw all of us going into meltdown over the idea of him being appointed. So has now decided to do it as some kind of sick joke, because he gets off on making us all hate him!

Do Hamme have any connection to the network ?
No, not to my knowledge.
Just odd that they gave up their manager so quickly unless it was the plan all along.

Probably true. Someone should have started a 'we want Karel Freaye' thread and we wouldn't have got him.
I do understand the angst here but I am not sure I can get as animated, not because another no doubt decent moderately ambitious guy waving his UEFA license but with palpably few other credentials will it seems be given an opportunity to be our head coach, but because it is an exercise in futility.
I am reminded of a scenario from Blackadder. The job is a poisoned chalice. I just need "Queenie" to shout "off with his head" to complete the imagery.
As I tried to point out yesterday the playing assets acquired by the club and now available to any new coach are not fit for purpose. No self respecting coach will touch SE 7 with a barge pole without cast iron guarantees things will change.
To be clear the chances of any British appointee are remote. I doubt we would even know who to talk to. Under this regime we have not signed one British player on a permanent contract directly from another British club.
Of the 45 players currently under contract we have 11 peripheral players out on loan.
which leaves your core championship assets as follows;
1. Berg Gudmundsson 2. Cousins 3. Diarra 4. Fox 5. Henderson 6. Jackson 7. Pope 8. Solly 9. Vetokele 10. Watt
Of these;
Henderson, Vetokele, Jackson and Solly are injury prone.
Pope, Fox and Watt with one seasons senior football under their belts are still unproven in the Championship.
Berg Gudmondsson has only 1 season in the Championship
Diarra, a World Cup Finalist had previously only played 10 games in Championship and never a full season as a central defender
Jordan Cousins is the main man but because of the successive recruitment campaigns we play him on the left wing.
As an aside, of this seasons "new boys" Ba, Cebellos, Ghoochannejhad, Makienok and Moussa (yes I know he signed last year) all have recent injury "history" while Kashi has acquired an unknown injury which will keep him unavailable for an unknown period.
Now you tell me who of the above you want to be representing you in fighting the fight in the heat of a Championship relegation battle.
Though I agree in normal circumstances such an appointment should be crucial for our future, with this investor and this executive, I suggest the head coach is the least of our problems.

Don't forget Hamme is only the equivalent, at best, of division 4 or national conference. Hamme is division 3, regional in Belgium.

I would put a lot of money on Oxford United beating Hamme FC

How many of the current squad played under Riga/Fraeye after poor CP was stabbed in the back by KM & her boss?

I still don't understand why Alcoron get only experienced, Spanish managers under RD and we get these guys ?
Maybe because Spanish manages are used to the European model of working as a head coach with owner interference where as British Mangers generally will not accept it.

For all their other perceived failings, you have to give it to Roland and Katrien for running such a very slick interview and appointment process.
