(Belgian) Bob Peeters *CONFIRMED New Head Coach (pg 37)*

You cannae come on CL and tell us to support chelsea.

Well played VFF.

In his defence I think byl was making a light hearted comment because of the mass of negative feeling on here. Perhaps we are a little be over sensitive when our support and commitment is questioned when to an outsider we are not not sounding particularly supportive.

I remember reading gazillions of posts last season when Millwall fans were crucifying Lomas with many a smug comment made on CL about how they were not giving the manager a chance. Yes we enjoyed it but perhaps we can't take it when the self same attitude is being attributed to ourselves.

Just an observation.

How did that 'Lomas' thing turn out?

Well that's another story.

None of us knew anything about Peeters. Byl came on told us lots about him, but he was slagged off because he used to play for Millwall. Perhaps byl didn't understand our humour. Admittedly he made a poor joke about supporting Chelsea or Manu, but that was no reason to tear into him.

Latest from Belgium is that Patrick Van Houdt - assistant coach at KV Mechelen - is on his way to #cafc to take up the same role.

I put that on here first thing this morning . Still confused with this hole manager thing , just want something confirmed now who ever it's going to be.

I did ask byl for his thoughts on Patrick Van Houdt but I doubt we will hear now. I wonder why ?

Wowsers

Totally original and innovative rumour from RC turns out to be true then I really have seen it all.

Latest from Belgium - RC currently camped at Brussels airport cross-referencing any Belgian male not carrying duty free chocolates whilst boarding.

Ah...im awful. Honestly, I couldnt think of many harder tasks than getting reliable scoops on CAFC.

Byl needs to think twice and be more fecking careful when on another sites and suggesting to support Chelsea or Man utd, particularly after the Greg Dyke bullsh!t. Totally fecking justified. I don't find it lighthearted.

When Yann897 has a go and criticises what I am saying, then I may disagree but Yann, is a passionate about the club and thats ok. Yann has never stooped to that level. Any football supporter should know better.

Oh get over it. ;0)

I'll accept an apology and leave it at that.

You've so over-reacted

Most likely.

Don't think many will agree.

lighten up vff

byl is not one of us and kindly came on our forum and gave us some useful information, for which I thank him. Maybe his sense of humour is different to yours and he is writting in a foreign language to his, so give him the benefit of doubt and let him be.

I suggest we all take a step back and wait for some proper news rather than over react to the word of Cawley.

I have no interest in owners of football clubs who are "weird", "left-field", "mavericks" - or, conceitedly, "their own man". I also don't want a manager who is a "good laugh with the players" - apparently one of Bob Peeters' attributes. Quite rightly, Andy Hughes was the first to be shown the door this summer: schoolboy japes in the dressing-room and loud shouting from the touchline do not win matches in the Championship.

Last August our first game of the season was against Bournemouth, upstarts promoted from the lower division: it was our duty to stamp some authority. We lost that game, and the next, and never recovered. It got worse: only a few months ago we routinely couldn't hit the target in the whole 90 minutes, and it was only four weeks ago that poor Barnsley - later relegated - beat us at home.

Riga narrowly saved us from Crawley and Port Vale. For us to challenge for the play-offs, a manager experienced in our top two divisions is vital. More importantly - we must buy midfield players who can seize possession, wingers who can cross, and strikers who can score.
