The fact that Jose Riga is back, and that Charlton owner Roland Duchâtelet has stated: “This has been a disappointing season for everyone connected with Charlton and the board take responsibility for that. Some things, like an unprecedented number of injuries, we could not have foreseen. But we have also made errors in recruitment, mistakes we have immediately tried to address in January.
“It was also crucial we dealt with the position of the Head Coach. José did an excellent job in his short period with Charlton two seasons ago. He was very popular with supporters and I believe that he will get us back on track. There are 20 matches of the season still to play and it’s vital that we battle for every point.”
Are you all happy? Or does the protesting still go on to get rid of KM and RM?

We still need them out for the sake or our club.
Of course we're not happy. Nothing against Riga but he's still one of RD's men. We need them out and a clean slate, they've learnt absolutely nothing from their many past mistakes.
And what responsibility do the board really take? We have a CEO that no one has heard a word out of for weeks.
Am I moderately more hopeful that we might avoid relegation? Cautiously Yes.
Riga might step off the eurostar fresh from a meeting with Duchatalet waving a piece of paper and declaring peace in our time but it changes nothing.
I will actually double my efforts to support the team and in fact Riga, but I will also double my efforts to protest and try and rid us of the circus upstairs.
None of them should be at this club anymore. We will get relegated and when we do, what then? will JR get sacked or will he just continue to manage a side he has had ample time trying to keep up?
Nothing has changed. RD's statement means nothing. Do you honestly think he is now going to pump lots of money into the club? No. Will he sign a few more proven players before the Jan window closes? No, it will be more of the same and i'm just about done with it.
I don't care how controversial this is, but anyone, anyone on this site who is pleased with this appointment and is taken in by RD's statement is as deluded as the owner. KM will still loath Charlton fans. RD will still only be interested in making a profit and playing chess with his network of people........only by then, most people would have fucked off to support another team, half the stadium will be let out or built on and we'll be playing the likes of Welling in the league instead of a friendly.
The club is a mess. The owner, CEO, and directors are mad. The now 6th manager is a joke with very little self respect clearly, and half the fans are either blind, naïve or ignorant, or all 3 !!
Am I appeased? Am I fuck!
As a result, the conflicts the 'support the team, not the regime' mantra for me, as Riga is very much part of the regime.
And lets agree with one thing. Roland hasn't said anything. They have simply attached his name (with his approval) to a statement put together by the comms team or the PR man. Half of which apparently had Meire's name against yesterday, and for a different manager.
1. We've been lied to yet again about an interviewing process (again conducted in record time).
2. The CEO told us that every appointment is an improvement. We've gone back to Riga.
3. RD says we can't be blamed for injuries. A bigger, more mature squad could have coped better with injuries.
4. The owner, CEO and senile Murray are making us a laughing stock.
This cannot be allowed to happen. Complacency or acceptance will ultimately prove devastating.
Out of the merry go round of managers on there, he's the best option in my opinion. It does not make it right, far from it. They were never going to appoint from outside their circle.
How many wrong decisions can they admit before they admit they're getting it all wrong.
It's a difficult one to describe AFKA, my feelings for the regime have not changed one iota and getting Riga back 18 months after he was deemed not good enough is farcical on so so many levels. However, no matter what happens, the main thing I want to happen is for Charlton to win games and to not get relegated, and going by previous history we at least might have a chance of that with Riga in charge, this is why I will support the team and the manager. That however does not change the past, and all the ridiculous decisions that RD/KM have made, and how they have attempted to rip the soul out of the club, and how they appointed Karal Fraeye as manager, and that is why I will not support the regime and want them gone.
Apparently only goes for the ones he thinks are possible wins.
If you look at our remainder fixture list that doesn't feel me
with much confidence. Still will wait for 2 more possible signings
and the new manager bounce!!!
