I love the way Colin is able to jump from Guy is great to the new guy is great without blinking.
Already creating a new myth around the new manager too.
Feel bad for the bloke but I'd fully support a boycott of the valley if he becomes manager. Gonna love watching Katrien talk her way out of this one.
BOYCOTT of matches is unfortunately the only thing our owner will pay any attention to. If we want him gone ( I do) then this is our only option. RD does not give a toss about Charlton. People talk about investment he has mad but he knows nothing about football which is why we are 3rd from botoom. ROLAND OUT .

Oh come on, that is such a load of bolox, you can do better than that
If the bookies have suspended bets on Fraeye there may be more than an element of truth in this, but I suggest (after me being conned last night with the fake account) we wait and see what is said officially, however when do bookies get things so wrong?

I doubt that is the case, he may have helped with input, Riga had the brains, which was why he was in charge.

Redmidland stop beating yourself up for the fake account thing!! I was conned for some time - it was (for me) a pretty good fake!
I got the chance to observe Fraeye when he assisted Riga from my West Lower position, and he wrote notes throughout the 90 mins. If Riga missed anything due to being caught up in the moment, Fraeye would be able to tell him exactly what happened. He is meticulous if nothing else. I would be happy to give him a chance. Riga proved us wrong by not being a "yes" man, so may he.
Meticulous maybe but if Fraeye was any good he wouldn't be managing a Belgium 4th division team currently!
The next manager is largely irrelevant whilst RD is in charge. Whoever it is will be made to work within his flawed autocratic framework. There is no room for any kind of expression - he may as well employ a robot.
I've always looked at the positives with RD & KM. Not anymore. If RD appoints Fraeye as manager that may well be me done this season. Unforgivable act of supreme arrogance.
Surely no-one worth their salt who wasn't already on RD's payroll would take this job ?
Think you'd be surprised. There are plenty of experienced Championship managers looking to get back into the game and would see us as a decent job. Dave Jones, Billy Davies, Malky McKay, Stuart Gray, Paul Lambert etc etc unless they are hanging out for the Chelsea gig. Now we may not want all/some of them but I completely disagree with the above.
Of course it will be - stayed within the network when 'sacked' as assistant to Riga, knows the area and some players and costs RD.. nothing. We can't even be surprised. Sorry Karol but expect a lot of booing my friend.
Am I missing something here - if he was that good here in his time with Riga, why wasn't he kept hold of then before the appointment of Peeters, or even Luzon?
Or is just that his price has gone down since then?
That is seriously, seriously, seriously disappointing
I agree that its disappointing.
However, my disappointment is buried under the overwhelming feeling that I've just been insulted.
It honestly feels like RD is making decisions to deliberately alienate the fan base.
This guy has zero track record, I doubt he has any coaching badges and I can see the likes of Watt giving him the proverbial middle finger before a ball is kicked under his "leadership".
I gave Riga a chance, I gave Peeters a chance and I gave Luzon a chance. Sorry Roly, you've just broken this donkey's back, as far as I'm concerned Fraeye can go fuck himself. This clown will fail on a spectacular scale.

Fantastic doublethink
If this holds true I don't think I'll be at The Valley for quite a while.
Next from Colin: Rotherham are our rivals. Rotherham have always been our rivals.

Harsh.
It's the Belgium 3rd division
: - ) That's my feeling for it.
At least Carol Fry knows the players as he recommended most of them.
I thought it was Dada or Dudu or whatever his name is who recommended them?
Embarassing isn't even the word, Roland is essentially rehiring the man he fired as ASSISTANT to be our COACH.
Or is just that his price has gone down since then?

We're a monumentally screwed.
