    Hope so. The professional side starting to see it for the sham it is. #justsaynojose

    Spot on Stonewall, clapping players off after an abysmal performance is weird.

    The delay is becoming interesting.

    Maybe he is going to be announced with our brand new big signings. Or maybe it will be announced at 4pm. Or maybe they have changed their minds and going for Curbs. Maybe none of these and they are keeping faith with KF.

    That times a guess by the way but does always seems to be the time in the afternoon we make announcements.

    Sounds more likely he will be announced very soon.

    Not sure how the former Birmingham and Trinidad front man got this info.

    @CharltonByBlood @BR7_addick ooops should have deleted the John Sterne bit, the rest is the reply from a foreign journalist when asked by John about Riga.

    I expect when they do finally say something about KM utterances, it will probably be that she learned English at school and does not understand colloquial English. She will wriggle out of it, I'd put money on that bet.

    If Riga wasn't deemed good enough before, then why bring him back? Couldn't make it up................................................... oh hang on, we're owned and staffed by Belgian tossers with blinkers on.

    No one has said he wasn't deemed good enough before.

    Yes, they didn't extend his contract and brought Peeters in, but it couldn't have been because he wasn't deemed good enough.

    It was more likely because he wasn't a yes man, cost more than Peeters or Peeters had already been agreed as the new manager after Powell, but couldn't start until the summer.
    Riga a very nice bloke spoke to him a few times , his main problem was his family and there reluctance to move to the area ....
    And yet they moved to Blackpool?
    But his family did not that's why he went missing for two weeks to go back home ......
    Why are you continuing to ignore his sons tweet when he stated categorically that Jose wanted to stay and was very disappointed when he was not offered the job .
    He went missing at Blackpool didn't he ?
    Whats that got to do with what his son said ?
    There is talk above that his family moved with him to Blackpool - they didn't, which is why he went AWOL for a bit
    Surely the point is not who wants to be where and who said what. The point is he wouldn't get a look-in at any other Championship club and that we are even taking his possible appointment seriously is a sign of how far we have sunk under the current owners?

    Or even more likely, it was more bullshit from the Daily Mail?

    Can't see this anywhere on anything officially Charlton. And if it is right, it shows Meire's continuing contempt for us all as she will speak to a Belgian journalist but not to anyone here. Sadly, it also indicates she wasn't dumped in a lay-by on the A12 on Saturday

    There is so much shit being generated around the club at the moment I wouldn't rule anything out. But apologies to the SLP. Saw it in the Mail and, naturally, they claimed it as their own.
  • The South London Press must have been given the story by someone at the club under the instructions of Meire. I can't believe that there is not any truth in it. That would be bizarre.

    Has anybody who tweets looked at Riga's sons account I wonder.

    As Airman said the delay is interesting.

    Knowing Meire's utter incompetence she probably leaked them the story before she had spoken to Riga or Roland. She's so inept, I wouldn't rule it out.

    I would have a look for you but don't know his son's first name, so it is hard to look him up. :(

    Well it is for an idiot like me anyway.

    Or KF will still be coach vs Huddersfield. But Riga will be head coach or manager. Then technically her statement is still correct...

    Probably she saw that some fans (me included) would be happyish with this appointment and thought "I'll show those customers who is always right"
