"This is not the time for excuses," she says. Damn right - excuses are not acceptable at any time. There are reasons for our relegation - sub-standard players, inept managers, and an incompetent board.
As much as I hate this regime with a passion for what they have brought this great club to, no statement we'd have been bemoaning the lack of, any statement was never going to wash. So doomed either way, but then I think thats because we've all had enough and the only news we want to hear is of a sale to people who know what they are doing.
I don't blame them for issuing it, and it actually says exactly what you'd expect but actions speak louder than words and their actions speak for themselves throughout the club and not just the results on the pitch.
It doesn't bother me to be honest, it's what all clubs stick out on these occasions.
Pretty poor to whack it out within the hour of the loss while the wound is still fresh. Also lines like this is no time for excuses, without any real reasonings or acceptance of what they have done - is patronising. Anyway, could pick holes in everything this regime does - pointless though in essence. We should use our energies thinking ways to embarrass those who are embarrassing us, and getting them from our Club.
But then there's another thread here from earlier "You would have thought the pathetic cowards would say something", so whether you issue the statement now or tomorrow, someone won't be happy
Nobody realistically would expect KM and RD to suddenly have a road to Damascus moment, and say so on the OS, it just isn't going to happen. Even if they realise they've completely screwed up, I'm not expecting anything other than a bland apology.
All I care about is that new owners can come in and rectify the mess.

This. It's nice that they've finally figured how to put out a proper statement.
"I and the club’s Senior Management Team will start the rebuilding work immediately".
No, you halfwit. You and your Senior Management Team are the problem.
The only way - the ONLY way - to start working to get Charlton promoted next season is to write your resignation letters right now. Anything else falls far short of what's required.
Let me make one other, honest suggestion to you and to the owner. If you *really* want to own and run a club in the Championship within one season there is one way you can make it happen. I can guarantee it. It's a simple means to guarantee you will be owning and running a Championship club within one year. You only have to do three things:
1. Sell Charlton 2. Buy ANY Premiership club of your choice 3. Run that club the way you've run Charlton
Too little, much too late. Probably written weeks ago and just waiting for someone to hit the send button when the inevitable was confirmed. Insincere bullshit. In the name of God, go.
I feel fucking sick reading that. It almost sounds like she isn't going away. Please up the anti on the protests CARD. I thank you for your continued efforts.
Seriously, what did you expect her to say? I actually spoke to her before the Sheff Weds game and told her - politely I might add - that if things didn't change we would be relegated, I take little satisfaction to be proved right. She said they knew the problems and knew the solutions. So basically she lied.
We have to let her know on Saturday what we think. For one match make the protests about her and not Roland. Assuming she's not booked a spa weekend or another much-needed holiday instead.
I know how she persuaded that Tottenham cabby to support Charlton. Has anyone ever seen fake taxis online. I won't put a link on here but she has some work to do to fill the ground next season
We don't want you to think you can mend things. We don't want you to even be noble and try to mend things. We don't want your apologies or acknowledgments of mistakes.
We just want you to leave.
Please please do not associate yourself with charlton. You are not charlton. You are a joke.
I preferred you when you was honest about your perception of the fans. At least the cards were on the table.
You didn't write that statement. For an idiot like you that's a statement that comes from probably 6months of continuous editing.
Certain KM did not write that herself. Smacks of PR consultant.
Good, that's what you're meant to do! It would be insane to let someone senior at the club come up with a hastily written statement full of mistake done on emotion and bile...oh.
Just pausing for a minute to consider what she says here . . . which ones of her senior management team, including herself, would be any more use than the proverbial chocolate teapot in getting Charlton out of League One?
We have no functioning football management set-up above or alongside Riga, whose comments suggests he won't be here. Even if Mandy, Tony and David Joyes were great at their jobs, they have sod-all to do with performances on the field. It's completely vacuous.

Have it on good authority on Twitter that KM thinks it is appropriate to negotiate with players by text.
Judgment, you say?
Am I the only person to have seen the portrayal of Rebecca Brooks in the Comic Strip 'Red Top'? Katrien reminds me of that, except the Comic Strip is more true to life.
Katrien would of course do it by text and snap Facebook tweets and the like. House music ya? She is so so modern and texts save the planet anyway.
"Everyone at Charlton Athletic Football Club is deeply disappointed that we have been relegated from the Championship".
If you think that the 'disappointment' felt by you and Duchatelet's other drones can be compared to the feelings of genuine fans who have spent their lives following and supporting this club, then you are more deluded than I thought you were.
"This is not the time for excuses. We apologise for our mistakes and now need to learn from them so that we can put firm foundations in place for the future that ensure the long-term stability of the club".
It's not a time for excuses, because there are no excuses. Your entire reasoning is fatally flawed. Your paymaster bought the wrong club, he didn't understand the league and he placed incompetents in charge. We now have to pay the price for that. Now is not the time for learning either. We've had two years in which you should have been learning and implementing that learning. Instead you just cocked everything up. There will be no long term future for the club if you and that deluded idiot you work for don't bugger off. There is no way that you could bring stability to the club, so don't waste your breath pretending.
"We all acknowledge that this is a difficult time for the club, but I and the club’s Senior Management Team will start the rebuilding work immediately. Our sole aim is to be fighting for promotion next season and our top priority is to put together a squad that can help Charlton Athletic get back into the Championship".
You really are a cretin aren't you!
"We would like to thank our fans for their support and continued loyalty both home and away this season, and we will communicate further plans for next season in the coming weeks and months. Our fans are integral to the success of this club and we want to work together with our supporters to make sure we move forward in our pursuit to return to the Championship".
'Our fans'!!!! You haven't got any fans. The club has fans. The team has fans. Certain players have fans. You do not, please do not flatter yourself by pretending that you do. Further plans. You've never communicated any plans. You've 'communicated' platitudes, vague wishes, smokescreens, untruths and downright lies. Never the slightest hint of a plan though – except when you accidentally let it slip about the player farm. As for what the fans are integral to, it's getting rid of you and your scummy employer. That's what we're integral to. 'In our pursuit to return to the Championship', what does that even mean?

Two seasons after Roland's purchase: Relegated, second to bottom.
Progress, eh?
