So, surprisingly results have not picked up with the sacking of Luzon and the appointment of the experienced Carol Fry. So how many games will he get do people think? My own prediction is that he'll be made Interim until the end of the season and then he can either be sacked at little cost (his tenure would still be longer than Peeters' and Riga's) or if by some absolute miracle we stay up it justifies him being made the cheap permanent appointment. Thoughts?

In our case its no joke. But how many more Duchatelet employees are left out there in the football 'pyramid' before he sends over someone from his electronics components firm to act as manager and I'm not joking!
Whether he's capable of the leap to a credible replacement who might not do what he's told and wants more than the minimum wage, I am not so confident.
(It was against Cray Wanderers in the Kent Senior Cup but who cares... we bloody won)
I was introduced to Karel after the game and I must say that he was a very approachable and friendly man. We talked for some time and he bought me and my mate a beer in the clubs social club after. He told us many very interesting things but in confidence so I cannot repeat anything that he said which is a pity because I believe that supporters opinion of him would change for the better.
He is a genuine man but he cannot give or share his opinions on the present situation for obvious reasons..... I have listened again to his post match interviews this morning and I can see how careful he is not to criticise the players whose confidence is plainly for all of us to see, at a very low level and how the careful dissecting of all his words by supporters can lead to onerous opinions of his 'interim' project to get us out of the shit.
Like him I have no idea how long he will be here but I am confident that he will do his best in the circumstances. He is a qualified coach with 19 years experience under his belt already! The fact that he was last working for a Belgium lower league side does not concern me now and I am a little more confident that there is an escape plan brewing that may get us out of our present critical position.
I do not agree with the practicality of Roland's vision and I hope he amends it to suit the Championship before it's too late but please don't have a go at Karel - he may be very good for Charlton if he gets the time and backing.
If there is an "escape plan" then the club could share it with the fans but they won't.
I was a guest at the Cray v Charlton game last night and it was refreshing to see a side playing well and finding space for each other.

Sorry I couldn't care less how nice he was. He shouldn't be in charge of Charlton Athletic either on a temporary or permanent basis. End of. He may have a football GCSE, but has no experience and I want him gone! Sooner rather than later.
"The Escape to victory"
Players keep disappearing in the 2nd half.
Whatever his coaching qualities, Fraeye doesn't have the experience or gravitas for this situation. By all means keep him on as an assistant or coach, but we need someone more experienced above him, someone to inspire (and scare!) the players, organise them properly and get them fit and working harder.
As pointed out the other day, he’s merely a male Katrien Meire.
