Its the relevant experience that matters not the passport.
What we've seen is Belgian or worked in Belgium for Roland.
Would be happy with any number of non-British managers if they bring some relevant experience.
Someone like Pascal Deprez for example who we were rumoured to have tapped up in the summer. Has won promotions, been a head coach and a sporting director and has built teams long term. No ideal as not managed at this level but you could at least see some logic in employing him.
Bottom line is Roland's recruitment "strategy" has failed and continues to fail.
It fails because it is based on too narrow a gene pool and the coach isn't then given the time or money to succeed.
Yes. After weeks of thinking Colin hares Charlton, I agree. It does'nt have to be a British manager. But. It does need one with Championship experience, with licence to pick his own squad. And Carole Frayed to have no part of scouting for Charlton.
Earlier today someome was insisting the new manager had to be British and had previously won promotion from the Championship.
Please not Jose Riga. I liked the man a lot and he did well during his time at Charlton but would be the wrong man for the job.
We need a British manager who has been in this division and got clubs out of it.
What if it was a non British manager who has been in this division and got clubs out of it ?
That would leave us with three choices.
Jean Tigana, Roberto di matteo and Slavisa Jokanovic.
Only three non British managers to be promoted.
took the words out of my mouth
This might change over the next few years though. An influx of overseas playing talent is nothing new, but it may be that the same will happen with coaching staff in the second tier - Watford have had success and Middlesbrough are hoping for more of the same.
It follows on from the late noughties trend when Rodgers was hot second tier property because he was seen as a Mourinho acolyte available at a realistic price (as Karanka subsequently was). Now Guardiola / Klopp types May become more fashionable. Brighton tried and failed and now it seems Huddersfield are hoping to jump on the bandwagon with their own mini Klopp.
I'd like a manager who has experienced success on a poor budget or over a long period. Championship and British is likely to be someone who has failed repeatedly or had a short spell of results when he splashed the cash. I don't think Riga or Luzon had any special history apart from being cheap. I also worry our opoo are not being analysed, a handicap for any coach.
Used to blame him for our unadventurous style but Big Merv currently without a gig. May make us hard to beat.
Why are the daily mail interested in us? I smell a rat...
?
Am I right in thinking that the daily mail were leaked to when the takeover happened? Also the story about the lady doctor? I'm sure there are more examples. Just smells a bit iffy to me.
I'm sure KF will remain at the club in one role or another.
Pretty much bang on the money for me. Unless a credible manager is appointed with 6/7 quality signings we are heading for league 1 and I fear who knows where else.

A very unscientific quick search shows 73 pages on the dailymail.co.uk with Roland Duchatelet compared to 21 on the sun.co.uk and 35 on the guardian.com
Katrien also has had a fair amount of pages on the DM and barely a mention anywhere else.
No longer. Nathan Jones would be my choice though for long term but we need some structure. Too many gaps between our three strata. We need to move up and back closer together. Germans vs Gooners in the week, 10 players in their half when attacking. Any clearance went straight back in.

Whisper it quietly, but guess where a certain Mr Phil Parkinson was seen yesterday?
Yes, the Bradford Outlet store for Cardigans Are Us.
But does that necessarily prove he isn't coming back to his spiritual home on Monday?
Where you goin now, Bro?

I'm probably barking up the wrong tree.
