I watched this morning and it cheered me up a bit thinking of the hope I had. I wonder if Roland and Katrien have watched this and Chrissy Powell's end of season speech for that season and the next! They threw all that away. The reason we were struggling a bit when they took over was the money had gone at the start of that season, but we were still in the quarter final of the FA Cup and had games in hand. And ultimately Riga kept us up with what was Powell's weakened team. They should be made to watch it! They may have spent more money, but that is because they have vandalised what we were achieving and they wasted the opportunity they had. It has all been about a cowardly mad man's experiment, not about running the club properly for success. You reap what you sow.

What does Douchbag and KM (and RM) want ?
They are ignoring all of our history, they are alienating our support, they aren't listening to anyone.......
Is it just as simple as creating a club with a smaller attendance quoter so he can build properties in SE7 ?
How the hell have we gone from that to the current shambles in less than 4 years?
(OK I know the answer is Douchbag and squirrel face but I had to ask the question).
It appears so ludicrous and inept it could easily be interpreted as deliberate.
I think they are probably just complete clowns but other interpretations with this lot may be just as likely.
Whatever the motives the result is still dire for us.
Unfortunately, if this is so, then the protests and general apathy that some of the supporters feel right now probably fit in to those plans. However, if she thinks marketing a day out based on League 1 football and incredibly poor service in the ground will work - she's utterly bonkers.
Not to mention, when I have a day out at the zoo I don't leave with a t-shirt and lots of merchandise - nor do I come back every week.
She hasn't got a clue.
Who the f*ck knows...
So what's the point it's all just a guessing game. Some things add up some things don't.
I for one think he's a f*ckwit who must have something bigger planned that makes more money and crushes us.
I really thought that day we would go on to push for the premier league and see scenes like that every week.
It will be many years i fear until we see crowds like that again.
If you've ever seen minor league baseball, this is what she wants. People turn up with little or no expectation of the game, maybe hoping to see a few future MLB stars beginning their careers. The players are never really permanent just on their way up or on their way down. They have mascots doing YMCA during the game, most people barely watch it and spend most of the time eating or drinking. The off field attractions more important than the on field. No real fans just a bunch of tourists, local schools and company days out. It's bland beyond belief.
I have indeed watched this dross. A game involving the Omaha Royals. Now laughingly renamed the Omaha Storm Chasers. Some form of subsidiary/feeder team of the Kansas City Royals and home to their failures and kids. As you say people just go to eat, drink and pick up free bumper stickers for the local radio station. (I was one of the tourists!)
On that basis, I can see Charlton being renamed the Thames Barriers!
Edit: go listen to their first video interview. It's quite obvious they didnt get it then and they're still spouting the same shite today.
No prizes for guessing who will win this one
