Reading that article has got me more pissed off than anything Katrien has said to be honest, because it's dawned on me that I think he is one of the biggest kicks in the balls that these utter cretins have given us.
I'm not even talking about his qualifications either, I'm talking about the fact that we can't even have a connection with the "managerhead-coach" anymore.
Even when the managers weren't that great, they had character and were genuinely well liked after a few weeks: this helped us get behind them; even when we knew they were ultimately sock puppets too.
This guy though? He's mugged the fans off before with similar nonsensical bullshit like this interiew and I've never seen him demonstrating an ounce of the type of charisma or character that the likes of Riga had.
He's unqualified, tactically stupid and has made it perfectly clear that he will spew whatever party platitude that he's requested too. Surprisingly though, worst of all, he's bland.
Fans started protesting on the 13 minute mark. Didn't notice any specific cause to kick start it just generally pissed off. Maybe we were slow in realizing that Fraeye was still in the dugout. That first half was one of the dullest I have seen ( from both teams let alone us ) in a long while. One of the weaker Forest teams I have seen at The Valley similar to Wolves.
I'm sorry maybe I didn't make my point clearly enough, I'm just so angry about this fella, and how it is conceivable that he is still running the club with the results he's displayed, what is it now 2 wins in 12?
He's probably quite a nice bloke, as is the guy who runs my local Chippy, come to think of it the guy in my local Chippy might do a better job, certainly might up the chip count!
Katrien when will you get it that this fella will not and has not united the fans, all you've done is unite the fans against you.
Disagree, he has completely united the fans.
That's the sheer beauty of it, he well and truly has. Katrien was correct when she said we were a minority - before Fraeye we were - she just delivered that little line a bit too late.
Outside of CharltonLife and the VOTV readership, how many fans were truly aware of the circus that was running the club? I'd wager not that many in the grand scheme of things.
However, thanks to Fraeye's appointment and his subsequent ineptitude - even those fans who weren't aware of the internal politics of the club have grown tired and dreary and got frustrated. After frustration, people vent and share their own frustrations, and before we know it a sizable majority of the support have been exposed to the internal failings too - becoming aware that Fraeye is merely the tip of the iceburg.
Hell, today we probably had 1000+ fans chanting "There's only one Peter Varney": the subject of Katrien's inbox.
I used to think he was merely deluded as to his own abilities (or lack thereof) but I am rapidly coming to think he knows he's out of his depth and knew it all along and is happy to spout the party line shit and peddle crap in lieu of ever actually becoming any kind of coach. I think he is the very first Charlton coach I actively despise on a personal level regardless of results.
It is clear from the fans' reaction to him today - booed off at the end, cheers for the players once he had disappeared - that he now knows he can't win us over, so he's back to Plan A from Management for Dummies in blaming fans for poor results. Thing is, aside from a couple of moments, I thought we got behind the team from the off. The negative chants were clearly aimed at him and the Belgians.
