There's a link in this that gives his thoughts on the Charlton protests but i cant seem to get to it - think it wants me to subscribe, but reliably informed by our STVV friends that he states he has no interest in getting STVV into the playoffs - just wants it to be a place for business and leisure and football is almost an afterthought.
Maybe if someone can get it to work, then post the translation on here of the Charlton relevant bits.

Happy xmas Rolly? Dont get indigestion now.
In recent years Roland Duchatelet has made his mark in Belgian football. Especially with STVV he made things happen. The businessman also invested a lot of money in the Limburg club.
With the passage of Duchâtelet at STVV also heard an update from Stayen. It is now even one of the showpieces of the region seen. That centerpiece also had a serious cost. "The whole complex including apartments and parking is an investment of 100 million, but a realization that we are very proud of," said Duchâtelet in Het Laatste Nieuws.
There could also STVV benefit. But that does not mean Duchâtelet expect pain results from the club. "Sint-Truiden has no ambition club, but get a social club. Play-Off first is of secondary importance. As long as we are saved from relegation stress, it's fine."
It is the last paragraph that upsets many STVV fans
I miss heading off to The Valley on a match day this season, with hope in my heart that we'll win. I had that hope every single game, even against the spanners!
I just don't have that hope any more & I certainly don't go for a bloody dance & a laugh when my team are getting beat and the soul of what made Charlton so special, despite the fact that we weren't one of the big clubs, has been ripped apart by these stupid people!
....he said, thinking of the mayhem that had befallen CAFC, a club beset by supporters who are ungrateful and stupid. And, latterly, as absent as the owner is.
to play in Europe.
Bottom club goes down,2ND from bottom season is over ie no more games played until 2017/2018 season.
The other thing is if it's such a social occasion and treasured time with the mates, then why doesn't he come down to the valley and share a hot chocolate with Sue Perks before a game? I'm sure the 6000 odd fans that remain will be very pleased to socialise with him and have a beer with him

"Sint-Truiden is geen ambitieclub, maar een gezelligheidsclub. Play-off 1 halen is van ondergeschikt belang. Zo lang we van degradatiestress gespaard blijven, is het prima." Het vernieuwde Stayen loopt intussen ook als een trein met bijna 1.000 mensen die er elke dag tewerkgesteld zijn. "Het hele complex inclusief woningen en parking is een investering van 100 miljoen, maar een realisatie waar we erg trots op zijn."
En er zijn nog mooie plannen die Roland Duchâtelet en zijn Marieke willen uitvoeren. Welke precies? Dat ontdekt u nu in onze Pluszone, exclusief voor abonnees. Proef nu 4 weken voor maar 2 euro! U leest er meteen ook waarom de STVV-baas Standard verkocht heeft, wat hij vindt van het protest bij Charlton en of hij tevreden is over zijn netwerk van clubs. En ook een flinke brok STVV mag uiteraard niet ontbreken.

"Sint-Truiden has no ambition club, but get a social club. Play-off 1 is of secondary importance. As long as we are saved from relegation stress, it's fine." The renewed Stayen meanwhile is booming with nearly 1,000 people are employed every day. "The whole complex including apartments and parking is an investment of 100 million, but a realization that we are very proud."
And there are good plans that intend to export Roland Duchâtelet and Marieke. What exactly? You will discover now in our Zone Plus, exclusive to subscribers. Test now 4 weeks for only 2 euros! You can read why immediately sold the STVV Standard boss, what he thinks of the protest at Charlton and whether he is satisfied with its network of clubs. And may of course not be missing a big chunk STVV.
If I want a nice time out with my friends going to football is quite a way down the list of things to do. If I brought them to Charlton they'd end up hating me in no time!
Ambition for your club is a fundamental principle, no matter what level it plays, and the basis of the whole pyramid system. If there's no ambition to progress, there's absolutely no point in the football as results are meaningless.
If the stupid old man wanted to buy a social club, he should have bought a social club.
And he says foreign owners don't understand football...
I am generally mild mannered and slow to anger, but I hate that arsehole with a passion. I hope misfortune befalls him at every turn for the rest of his miserable existence.
'Roland doesn't do failure' - your having laugh !!
Now who are the 'idiots'???
Keep 'em peeled.
Don't believe JJ would be best pleased on missing out another day with his young family.....
You been over on that "other forum" again? You know, the flip flop one that's gone all Bertie Smalls?
MOG is currently living the high life in Lanzarote for the winter- hope that explains it.
"This I have never experienced in my 25 year career .. STVV booked me for one set after the match to normal an hour. After literally one plate Mr. Duchatelet is telling me that my job in his opinion, did not do well because people were not dancing, whatever, in my view seems difficult after one plate. I mentioned to him that this was my first record and that his people have made me the music for which I stand .. On my 2nd album, I'm on a very disrespectful and tactless manner by someone from his staff urged to stop immediately because I would have answered incorrectly, according to him Mr. Duchatelet which was not true?!?! For me this is a loss of face and sorry for the people who wanted to see me and did not get the chance. Mr. Duchatelet you may have a lot of money, but you've obviously never heard of tact and some form of politeness."
