Roland I have no idea what your long term goal is with Charlton, but whatever you think you are doing it is not currently working, please get a decent proven manager in pretty darn quick, or we will be playing in league one next season , with half of the fans we currently have attending games.
This advice comes free, and if you really cared about us you would swallow your pride, and take it on the chin, you are killing this club, please stop it, and sort it out before it's too late.

Not only was it a shit appointment they tried to dress it up as a stand in while some form of recruitment process was going on until the point a corner was turned results wise and they could announce Fraeye. Still waiting for that point.
Gonna try not to say it again but they have taken the piss out of this club and its supporters.
Survived in the old second division by struggling through much of the season and buying an experienced goal scorer (Cliff Holton, Ron Saunders, Ray Crawford etc) to score goals.
Only failed once.
Heskey was our undoing on Tuesday night.
We need a manager not a coach.
Of course what they will do with Fraeye rather than sacking him is actually appoint a full time manager I assume, although if say, fraeye was replaced as interim manager by another interim manager like Jason Euell I would be amused at least... Would show how little interest they actually had in finding someone.
For me the scariest thought is this: what if they actually are trying to find a manager and telling the truth (I doubt it but imagine!!!). Maybe no one wants to touch this club with a bargepole. Get hired, get no backing from the board, have a very strange set of transfer policies imposed on you with a playing philosophy very few would agree with... No decent manager will want to go into a job where they are being set up to fail... So maybe no one actually wants to manage us... I could be wrong, if so, there's a portugeuse guy with no Championship managerial experience who might be looking for a job soon. Ticks the foreign box, the slightly loopy box, and the no managerial experience box. Get him in!
a) I have no idea what criteria is being used to appoint managers, so I have no faith that winning/losing games would be the metric used to decide their fate. For instance what if Fraeye's brief is to bring young players through to sell on ? In the Bolton match a youngster who wasn't getting game time before Fraeye scored a couple of goals in less than half an hour and is probably a saleable asset now. Doesn't matter that we then conceded two to a dreadful, side Fraeye's had a successful night by the remit of his job.
b) Each sacking seems to have brought a gradually more ludicrous replacement - Bob - Riga - Luzon - Fraeye. On paper they're getting less and less qualified and more and more ridiculous. If losing those two games meant Fraeye got sacked do you really think Roland would be giving Gary Monk or Bendan Rodgers a call ?
I honestly don't think sacking Fraeye will make any difference, it's the overall strategy that's going to be far, far more damaging for the future of this club than one bad season/relegation.
BUT the fact that we are being fed rubbish does show that KM and RD know we will not accept the truth. So clutching at straws they must be listening, or hearing the protests.
So we all must carry on protesting in whatever way is possible. They ,hopefully know they are incapable of running a club ( I cannot even say Championship club now, as we are not) lets get them out and get our club back.
Not generally one for changing the manager, but the comments expressed by KF are rather bizarre and shows the man is out of his depth, drowning in a sea of failure. His CEO besides a staggering lack of ability to understand and execute a business model that can unite the fans, seems to have done massive damage to CAFC core supporters, let alone the casual fan. Of course this is in the hands of RD, will he make the changes, I fear not, because that means changing the 'vision' business plan that has failed which is at the heart of this sorry state of affairs on so many levels. A few loanees will not be the answer.
Football is a results business, the only 'result' this management has delivered is failure........
This season I don't have a season ticket, haven't bought any merchandise and only attended two games, one of which was free. Work started taking me down this road but thanks to Roly's mismanagement I am not actually resenting my exile.
Mistakes are made at all clubs but alienating the fans is one that is moreorless impossible to recover from.
Simple RD, KM, KF you have failed, you are dispised, please GO.
We must be on for one hell of an appointment after all this time, I personally cannot wait for the surprise/Christmas present.
I see Guardiola is due to make a statement on his future at some point today which is quite exciting news for us I feel. The chance to work with KM and RD should not be under estimated,
There will always be another manager experienced or not out there but it's clear after so long with a "interim" with none or very little ability the interim has become the main man. He might be a nice man, I don't know, I do know he is so far out of his depth it must be embarrassing for him and the fools who put him there.
This useless mob have taken apart the club from top to bottom and turned a large source of revenue against themselves,(us). When we finally get relegated I hope it costs the owner plenty, his ego and pocket needs a kicking. Also I hope them that know more than the collective knowledge of all the football world, walk away with their reputations so tarnished and toxic they have to work hard to get a job flipping burgers (not intended to insult hard working Mac job workers).
