“I think the only thing Duchatelet wants is to make money,” said the Frenchman, now in the Premier League with Bournemouth. “He doesn’t want to pull anything from his pocket.
“That is why he wants to promote from the academy. When a young English player plays a few games in the Championship, he is worth £1m, £2m. He thinks you can make money easily.
“But at the same time, you will struggle to stay in the Championship if you don’t get players experienced at that level. And if you want players of that standard, you have to pay.
“When you buy a club, you have to go in thinking ‘I’m going to lose money’. If you go in with the purpose of making money, I think you will fail.
“At a club like Charlton, you can’t make money first and then have success. You need success, then you can start making money. Maybe I am wrong. We will see. But I think I will not be wrong.”
Yann Kermorgant - The League Paper 2014
I remember whole heartedly agreeing with YK while others, not to name names, shot us agreeing with Yann down. Oh how right was he! I hope he goes on loan to a decent Championship side with the right ambitions.
No chance this will happen. It is just another way of keeping the natives subdued, the footballing equivalent of Valium. The we are going to appoint a British Manager with Championship experience is another one.
As if anyone was ever going to believe this bollocks. After we lose today the club will have a whole 2 weeks to think of who else we can be linked with. I reckon they can get through Stephens, Poyet, Powell and maybe even Curbs in that time.
On a beautiful sunny day, the new Charlton mascots pull off their giant false heads to reveal Yann Kermorgant and Andy Reid, who start skipping arm and arm around the pitch, throwing out handfuls of chips.
... I wake up with a jolt and remember I'm watching El Hadji Ba this afternoon.
If RD was really interested in loans we would have seen a midfielder joining this week - this is just pure propaganda I'm afraid. If we lose today I suspect the next rumours to be that we are talking to Curbs/Chrissy Powell, Floyd and Harvey returning and a crèche in the Covered End.
Well, I think we should put out two whoppers to appease the stupid old twats. One about a British manager with relevant experience and the other about a former fans favourite potentially coming back on loan.
Do you think they will fall for it?
What have we got to lose messiah?
Do it.
Yes sir. I will use Malkay and Yann.
Who's Yann and has Karel signed that contract yet?
Never mind and no, we haven't lost to Sheffield Wednesday yet.
"A source on the south coast ..." So KM must have been topping up her tan on the beach at Bournemouth. Sounds horribly like a planted story to keep the natives a little less restless. I hope not ...
The point is that few have faith in the Board anymore, which is why 'PR' is so damaging and counterproductive, its credibility is damaged, like trying to manage meetings, etc it just gives the message the club thinks we are idiots. Hence the call for *genuine meaningful* dialogue, but its probably way too late.
But let's face it, even if there was a only a shred of truth in it, it won't happen. Can anyone really see Yann waking up this morning, having finally reached the promised land with Bournemouth and just signed a new 2 year contract, rushing up to Eddie Howe and begging to be let return to this basket case of a club with a Chairman he has slagged off quite vehemently in the recent past.
Still maintain - and don't care what anyone else says - that selling Yann was one of the biggest mistakes, if not the biggest, these clowns have made.

Huh?
Katrien, your CEO at the England team.
What do you want?
You know the protest this afternoon...
Huh?
The protest about the way you run the club?
No, but carry on.
