Oliver Kay in today's Times
Let nobody accuse Roland Duchâtelet, the Belgian owner of Charlton Athletic, of lacking a consistent vision for the club.
Since buying the club two years ago and dismissing the popular Chris Powell, below, that consistency has been shown with the appointments of José Riga (a Belgian), Bob Peeters (a Belgian), Guy Luzon (an Israeli who had worked in Belgium), Karel Fraeye (a Belgian).
With Charlton mired in relegation trouble, having won 18 out of 72 Sky Bet Championship matches since the start of last season, was it time for a fresh approach? No, his latest appointment is, wait for it, Riga again.
Duchâtelet is like Massimo Cellino without international dialling access. It would be funny if it were not so sad.
