VIDEO: 'The Duchatelet Effect'

CTIGower

Well, with Riga's resignation taking us to a nice round number of six managers that have gone in the little over two years since Roland took the wheel - and finding myself having to explain the numerous ****-ups we've been forced to witness over the past couple of years to everyone I know who hasn't followed along, combined with Oliver Kays piece spurring me on, I decided to put a video together that might help sum up the situation to those of us who haven't had to put up with Meire's condescending laughter, Roly's perma-absence, or Richard Murray telling us for the millionth time that the Championship is a really hard league.

So, here it is.... I hope you enjoy it (in a weird way). I had a bit of fun with it, too. Favourites included Bob Peeters being asked what position he needed to strengthen and listing every one except goalkeeper, Luzon's 'errrrrrs' and Fraeye's admission that he's Belgian....

Very Good

Might buy a season ticket today - don't want to lose my seat!

Seriously, that is absolutely brilliant, and unbelievable as well in terms of what these people have done. Should be a sticky I reckon.

Excellent video, but oh so sad.

Should be the clubs 2015/16 end of season video.

Top top work, well done.

daveydanger

Really good, well done.

Great video, very well put together. I particularly liked the sombre piano; that really summed up the mood for me. There was also some footage I don't think I've seen, so I'd say you've done a brilliant job of sourcing it all.

You're right about needing to explain the protests. I have a photoblog and ended up writing a fair chunk of text about why we are demonstrating to explain some of the recent photos I've published. I think its important because otherwise it's too easy for people who don't know, to assume that it's just football fans creating trouble for the sake of it, or that it's all about money and signings. That's why I felt annoyed when Arsenal fans protested the other week: it makes it too easy for the public to think that football fans are spoilt brats continually demanding more and better. That's not why we are demonstrating, and it's not why fans of Blackpool, Leeds and Villa have demonstrated too. It's about having incompetent owners whose weird visions for their clubs are at odds with the very purpose of having a football club.

Also feed up with explaining to others that we are not just a bunch of whingers.

It wont make any difference.
Be careful what you wish for.
Your not renewing because your going down, fickle.

Love the sinister tone.

legaladdick

Loved the cut from her extolling the virtues of the sofa to its destruction.

Tunwellsaddick

Brilliant video but gut-wrenching to watch.

tricky

Fantastic

3blokes

Great great video:-)
(I do love the bit where KM cannot manage the PowerPoint and doesn't quite understand how to use a mike, so that she sounds like a giant bee. SO impressive, CEO class presenting skills "fasure")

vanilla

Sums it up brilliantly and very sad.

Oggy Red

Football in general needs to see this video.

Briston_Addick

Everybody in football authority should be forced to watch this video.

Callumcafc

Superb video, will share it on social media.

Talal

Great work. A nice edit when Murray is talking about keeping hold of young talent and cutting to their sickening grinning mugs.

Curb_It

One to bookmark and hopefully we can look back on and laugh at what was a bloody crazy period in the history of the Club.

Absolutely brilliant video. As I wearily made my way up the East Stand steps on Saturday, upon reaching the top I turned around & looked out over The Valley basking in sunshine & as I said goodbye, not knowing when I'd be returning, tears unexpectedly started rolling down my cheeks. I was SO upset so much so if I had bumped into RD/KM at that precise moment I think I would've quite easily flattened them both out. I HATE them with perfect hatred. The tradition of me travelling up from Kent & attending matches with my old Dad who lives just around the corner from the ground is now in doubt thanks to them, do they understand or even care what effect they are having on people's lives - NO they don't & for that alone I will NEVER, EVER forgive them.
