There's a thread on it now. Conducted a 5 minute phone interview with the presenter.

I just heard that the deal has fallen through and the other option is the Belgium u21 manger0

Can't say i'm overwhelmed by the likely appointment of Peeters but then the same could have been said of Riga and he did a great job steering us clear of trouble. The way things are however he's probably no better then even money to actually be in charge when the season starts. I hope RD knows what he's doing because I for one am far from convinced.0

Like many, @byl mentions how Roland's weird and upsetting decisions ultimately bring relative success on the pitch. I may be in a minority here, but I honestly couldn't give a toss about a bit of progress up the league pyramid if we're going to be a soulless circus of a football club.12

Well that will make quite a few people happy , especially with the millwall connection . Under 21 manager would make sense for us.CharltonByBlood said:

stories on reliable belgian media platforms as of now:
* JR is suprised and wans't informed by RD ans saiys RD still hasn't given him a reason why he cannot stay at charlton
* Bob peeters is named as replacement for Riga
* Waasland Beveren (current club of Peeters) is not amused and unhappy
* 27 minutes ago KV mechelen reported that Patrick Van Houdt will leave the club and will (probably) move to charlton as an assistant coach

Thanks @bvl0

Johan Walem is by all accounts RD's other option.1
-
I've heard the name Johan Walem from two different people today. Think this will run on a bit.1
-
Absolutely baffled by all of these decisions and nervous is an understatement. To be fair to Rolly though his decisions regarding management here and at Leige, despite the popularity, have been successful. God only knows what's going to happen next.1

Curiouser and curiouser.
@byl what's your view on Patrick Van Houdt ?1 -
What 'bollocks' about Bob Peeters was posted here.byl said:
I just followed this forums from when Riga took over here as a manager, and i just registered because i think there was lots of bollocks about Bob Peeters here. That's all.PragueAddick said:@byl
I think it's great to have you and other Belgian fans here.
It's clear that RD is a complex man, and we don't really understand him. Maybe we make assumptions about him which misjudge his real intentions or beliefs.
But why do you think he has decided not to give Riga the job when he clearly wanted it, and when he had clearly met the objectives RD set him? We know that RD does not actually like football. So, OK he just judges his managers/coaches on results. Fair enough. But Riga got the results. How then would RD actually come to the conclusion that Peeters is going to be better at the job than Riga? I mean, what criteria do you think RD is using?
We don't know him. The only posts that I have seen relate to available online stats about his record as a manager....?

Sky sports is classed as a "reliable" English media source ..yet they spoke to someone that had no connection with riga ?byl said:

So reliable media doesn't mean anything and I won't believe anything until it's on the OS0 -
Anyone hear Andy Hughes talking on Talksport ?0

If the deal really has fallen through hopefully Roland will give Riga a call, apology and a big new contract0

....not only Africans....you had that Australian forward who used to do the kangaroo hops after he'd scored!byl said:
there is no reason that makes Bob Peeters a better choice than Jose Riga, other than RD thinks it is the best thing to do. RD is weird guy , but i guess amll of you know already.Lazy_eye_metaphor said:If indeed it is Bob Peeters who gets the job, I hope RD at least issues a press release to explain what it is about this guy that makes him a better choice than JR (who by all accounts was very keen to stay with us). I would be very interested to read that, because right now I can see not the slightest shred of evidence.
i know what you guys kinda go through at the moment. I support Lierse SK which has a long tradition in belgian football, but went nearly bankrupt in 2008. We were only saved from disappearing as a football club because some Egyptian businessman bought our clubs at the time and we became the laughing stock of all other belgian football fans for that over the next few years . Our egyptian guy is even weirder than RD lmao.
But he got us back in the pro league after 3 long seasons in 2nd tier, all bills were paid again and we became finacially stable again. That is the basis of everything if you want to survive as a professional football club.
6 years ago, he started immediately with a youth academy, bringing in 12 year old kids to that, which this years delivered the first youngsters from that academy being in the 1st team (those guys are now 17-18 years old), and the future looks bright for us again now for the first time in 10 years.
For me i have a team i can still support, at the stadium i always went to and now hopefully again with decent homegrown players instead of the 3-rd and 4rd grade cheap african and east-european players i had to look at for 10 years.
So keep on supporting your local team, be vigilant, but also don't be paranoid. A football club is not about who is in charge or the current crop of players, but it is about the fans who are there every week, year in year out
Went to Lierse v Bruges about 12 years ago on a Good Friday night. Superb supporters club next to the ground and we had a monster session before the game! SK Lierse 1 FC Bruges 0. Gert Verheyen was on the wing for Bruges.1 -
@diegopoyet7: Thanks to Jose Riga for everything he did for the club and helped us massively to stay in the league. Sad to see him go0

Thet to me sounds like he's staying ?Yann897 said:@diegopoyet7: Thanks to Jose Riga for everything he did for the club and helped us massively to stay in the league. Sad to see him go

Caught the last couple minutes basically said he is worried about Charlton next season if they don't hurry up and tie down players out of contract .And worried about losing players we are after too other clubs.Perhaps someone can put a link up0

But if you were Riga would you want to work for RD again after that? Manager needs to feel he can trust his chairman, at least for more than three months. And no candidate for any managerial job in any business, wants to feel they are second choiceKessell7 said:If the deal really has fallen through hopefully Roland will give Riga a call, apology and a big new contract
But they know each other quite well. I am baffled, by the decision and by the behaviour.

Exactly, and even more so when your only 'Head coach'.PragueAddick said:

It's a good rhetorical question, Prague. Among Duchaletet's grand 'network' are Carl Zeiss Jena (crowds of 4,000), St Trinian's, and a minuscule Spanish club that attracts two goats and a donkey. Meanwhile, from Standard Liege we were loaned a keeper who is unable to catch the ball - even our own coaches described him as Conference-standard - and Ajdarevic, a "midfielder" who regularly had to be substituted after 60 minutes because he's got "flu".PragueAddick said:@byl

I wonder what Hales, Flanagan, Martin Robinson and Paddy Powell are thinking about all this. A few years on from them, we won the Battle of Stamford Bridge by more good men - not by a bunch of pansies in the charge of a young Belgian manager who can't believe his luck at moving from a dyke-defended backwater to the greatest city on earth.

I'd prefer to have Mr. Walem than Mr. Peeters0
