I sat down with Roland Duchatelet recently and left feeling no clearer as to how he was going to make a success of his tenure in SE7. Or how he would repair the yawning chasm between the fanbase and his board.
Quite. I can't help but compare 'what is' with 'what was'. Some of us saw the arrival of Duchatelet as bad news. Others took longer to see the reality of his 'plan'. Some have walked away from the club already and many more will soon do the same. Expect our decent players to leave, too, especially if, as seems likely, the club is relegated. Much of this mess could have been avoided. Sadly, someone knew better.
Tonight has seen the last, flickering glimmer of hope extinguished. One win in god knows how long, not a chance of seven or eight in 13 matches. Thanks Roland, thanks Katrien. I hope you both get really painful piles.

Welcome to the club Rich.
And those still clutching at hopes of a late surge to safety
The point about players and staff leaving if they had another club to go to says a lot.
What a mess!!
If it was his electronics business failing, he'd surely step in and restructure.
Wouldn't he?
