Either they will throw Fraeye to the wolves to appease the mob or we can expect another lecture on how they know what's best for us. The one thing we all hope it is not is another Powerpoint presentation.
But @supaclive posted a response from the club in another post which will form the basis of the statement:
" I would hope the activity of Charlton Athletic Football club during the recently open transfer market could be seen as a sign of the determination from management to support the team towards presenting a more competitive display on the pitch and bring the team back to a position more appropriate with the ambition of the club and its supporters."
News Shopper Sport @NewsShopperSprt 1m1 minute ago For those asking, Karel Fraeye's press conference has been moved from this afternoon to tomorrow. #cafc
He's being given the job on a Permanent basis isnt he... That's all this is to announce!!
KM has got fed up of the "We want a Manager" chants so they've just decided to change his title to make him look like the Manager!!

Surely they wouldn't do that. They know our main problem is the fact he couldn't manage to fart on a diet of baked beans let alone manage a championship club.

The optimist in me wonders if this could be to allow a new appointment time to get his feet under the table. Otherwise why delay the manager's presser by 24 hours?

Murray has already done it once before with Phil Parkinson...
It will be an attempt to disrupt the fans protests by creating rifts between opinions. It's the way they work.
Something along the lines off the below?
Left side of the protest, your chants were so weak compared to those on the right, yet to those on the right, the people on the left were so much better looking than any of you... Oh and I felt victimised by the lot of you so am playing that card
My prediction is that it will be all about the disappointment and frustration of the club's league position and the will to improve it, rather than any reference to the shambolic decisions that have actually led to the league position, ie it will miss the point again.
Fully expect another patronising and "We know best" / "I thought we already explained this several times" statement with zero quotes from Katrien Meire.
It'll be interesting to see how / if they respond to the Varney emails. Is he just another bitter ex-employee Katrien? Why was he ignored and mucked about?
Have to feel sorry for @Ollywozere under this regime.
"Chris Powell has taken over as permanent first team manager and will lead the team out on Saturday"
KM: Any questions? Louis: Yeah which club is Chris Powell now the Manager of and who will he be leading out? KM: Errmmm errrr... NEXT Question!! Louis: You didnt answer my last question KM: As I already answered it, Chris Powell will be the First Team Manager and will lead a team out on Saturday
"The club never has been, and, for the forseeable future will never be for sale. We are as disappointed as anyone with the club's performance this season, but we back Karel to turn the season around. Already we have sensed a shift in feeling around the club and we feel results will now improve. Karel fraeye will continue as interim head coach until the end of the season"
Basically saying a lot of rubbish without saying anything at all.
Has it really taken them 5 days to figure out a response to fans protesting - something which was widely known beforehand and has occurred in the past? Somehow I don't think so.
I can't see the club not making preparations for their response prior to the protests themselves - even if perhaps the numbers overwhelmed them.
So were they waiting for something?
-> The timing of this release coincides with the commentary of Saturdays protest dying down, furthermore - the official CAFC (i.e Twitter) channels haven't acknowledged it yet. Did they want this to pass quietly and go relatively unnoticed?
-> Has the size of the protests forced their hand in to personnel changes? Ordinarily the regime have demonstrated the ability to fire managers on a whim, perhaps there's been a personnel change at the board level?
Either way, expect a few platitudes which we've all heard before and maybe a token gesture that has been long overdue - i.e Fraeye is gone. In which case, be thankful that the club will have done something which we can hijack and use to renew interest in our plight.
Either way you can be sure that Johnnie Jackson will be included in the Statement and will no doubt be asked to talk us through his goal for the club against Birmingham

Oh wait.
I'll start with "we are still working hard on one or two deals in this transfer window"
Or some other similarly wanky wishy washy phrase

Parkinson is currently the sixth longest serving manager in English league football having been with Bradford for 4 and a half years
