Trying to read it in the Google App and it just keeps crashing. Will preserve though ....0

Very good article, but I noticed this error.
Exactly who was making these disastrous decisions wasn’t made clear. And despite keeping Charlton in the Premier League — and winning a hugely sceptical fanbase over — Riga departed after 17 matches, at the end of the 2013/14 season.

Top stuff, Darryl. Thank you.0

Very good Darryl0

Good summary - only two comments are that you've made a typo in the Riga section (saying he retained our position in the Premier League and not Championship - if only!) and also that your closing comments re: RM no longer sound very plausible after Rick's phone call with him this morning! (it's certainly not been a dull week...)0

Wonderful read Darryl, but also extremely depressing.0

Great job

Ta - fixed the PL cock-up. Didn't know about the phone call. It's absurd how fast-moving this is. Still, I think Murray's role needs calling out...LeaburnForEngland said:Good summary - only two comments are that you've made a typo in the Riga section (saying he retained our position in the Premier League and not Championship - if only!) and also that your closing comments re: RM no longer sound very plausible after Rick's phone call with him this morning!

Nice one Darryl, that's a great summary and point of focus for those new to the issues.
Another slight error:
"But what are fans complaining about? On top of the team’s lamentable performance, fans were also embarrassed when a video appearing to show a couple having sex on The Valley pitch was “leaked” in a stunt to promote season tickets."
The promotion was for pitch hire. A little thing, but I can see Katrien being obtuse and dismissive of the article for even the slightest errors.0 -

Isn't it a shame that nearly every thread is about anti Belgians, new protests, basically v v negative. Not suggesting there is anything inappropriate in that and I want them gone as much as the next person; just sad that its come to this and we cant talk more positively about the club we all love. Those days will come back but I do wonder when and how much damage will have been done by then.2

Very sad indeed @drewman, but I fear, like you, it will be a long time and nearly irreversible damage will have been done. The quicker the current regime leave the better for everyone.drewman said:Isn't it a shame that nearly every thread is about anti Belgians, new protests, basically v v negative.

Nice work Darryl - neatly summarises the story for the wider football world to understand.0

Excellent article but very depressing read.0

I tend to be an optimistic person but can't help thinking that the real battle for us at the moment is the one taking place off the pitch.stonemuse said:

The football has been secondary for a while I'm afraid.Cordoban Addick said:

GREAT article - and well done for keeping up with the edits people have suggested!InspectorSands said:Hello. I've written something that I hope explains to outsiders (including those outside football) the mess Charlton are in. It's very long. I've probably got something wrong in there somewhere. But I hope it's useful for the protests (especially as I won't be there on Saturday).

As others have said it's a depressing read; but it encompasses all of the main points very nicely.0
