One of the things here is, well it's quite simple.
Roland will not try to understand the point of view of other people. He just doesn't want to know. Refuses to accept.
People have tried to understand his way of thinking, and some have even given him the benefit of the doubt at times. People try to get into his head.
He will absolutely refuse to acknowledge the fact that other people are on his level and that he should consider why they do things, like protest.
Why Chris Powell probably wasn't happy with being treated extremely unfairly...even though he put a brave face on and just got on with the job as a professional.
Roland just wants to tell you what's good for you, instead of actually listening to anyone. The problem is, he's so rich he knows he can get away with it and simply just ignore everything.
I'd like to see him work in McDonald's for minimum wage. He wouldn't be dancing about then.

Just such a w@nker it's beyond belief.
I'll grant you he thinks the 'little people' are worthless proles, beneath his contempt.
What I really don't understand is his willingness to listen to people so obviously inadequately qualified in football matters. If he's such a genius, why can't he recognise the blatant idiocy of his advisers?
I agree Dave21, he doesn't live on Mars without an internet connection. He is fully aware of what is going on in SE7, we really would be stupid to think otherwise.
"Our scouts knew the players better than the coach".
Why on earth would you even come out with this when the facts are there for everyone to see that the first thing you did was sell Yann and Stephens and replace with Polich Pete and Koch.
As for a discussion on Hammer v Thuram...
When it comes to football this man is clearly a long way out of his depth.
"The meaning of football for me is for people to meet and enjoy themselves"
Its astonishing that the old fool spouts this line yet has devastated the social and enjoyable aspects of following Charlton, and is totally blind to it. By any measure, Roland, YOU HAVE FAILED.
Nail on head. As a result of his complete and utter incompetence thousands of people aren't meeting anymore, and the ones that are don't seem to enjoy themselves very much.
................our scouts beforehand, screened all the players one by one, what they were good at it, what they were not good at, the kind of mistakes they made etc. Our scouts knew them much better, I think, than the coach who was there.
Whatttttttttttttttttttttttt?????????????????
and the scout(s)??? Driesen I presume amongst others.
and he has the temerity to call Chris Powell stupid.............
This defies belief..................it really does.
For crying out loud the EFL should get off sitting on their hands...this man is bringing the game into disrepute surely.
Just when you think you can't hate anyone more Duchatelet goes and pulls it out the bag. This has angered me so much. My hate for this man grows every day he is still occupying OUR club.
I genuinely can't fathom how anyone can stand by him after this and all the various other things he has said...
The man has no clue about football. He has no clue about Charlton and what makes us great. He has no clue about Charlton fans and what makes us tick. And he has no clue about what makes a successful team and club.
What a nasty piece of work he is. His arrogance is typical of many who have money - they look down on good, decent people and treat them with disdain. What a scumbag.
Something similar to that was told to me by a local, mature but well heeled lady in the main square at Sint Truiden....
Yeah, you mad Belgian geriatric, that's right, it's just a few activists stirring things up for reasons that have nothing to do with the future or benefit of the club and the rest of us have just been taken in by them.
Does anyone really still believe this old shite? Does he even believe it? Who is feeding him this crap?
@Airman Brown I think you may have grounds to sue for libel/slander (whichever it is for the spoken word).
The network scouts probably did know more.about those players to be fair. Why would Powell need to knkw about those useless tossers he would never want or need
I read it as he and his scouts knew more about the players SCP already had than SCP did, which are plainly the words of a stupid person.

His main point as a failed politician was to have a minimum salary whether you are in or out of work set at a decent level.
This is an idea which, while costly, is one that works for the people, the creators and the artists.
This is totally against how he shows himself generally.
Which is as a super rich, self centred arsehole.

What a sad and horrible man.
I can't add anything else, it's all been said.
He's probably relied on Thomas Driesen's computer to calculate his remaining time on this planet. Let's hope he didn't come up with 103!
But....on a positive note, he's sounds a bit done with it all ;-). Hopefully Peter Varney sent those investors a Christmas card.
He'd get him duct tape in any case the silly old Belgian arsehole.
Riga may just make Roland eat his words. Maybe Fraeye also.
Having them 2 openly tell the truth and have a go...
That will do a lot more damage to him personally.
What will his excuse be then?
"Every manager I've ever hired is stupid"
This video is no longer available. Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Remember Fraeye was there too.
