This rings true. Neil I think it was you I was talking to about it but I amazed me he got the train to Charton. I imagine most men of his wealth get a flight into City airport and a cab.0

What an old romantic.PragueAddick said:I certainly believe this story. A story in the press said he does not own a dishwasher. Because washing up together is "quality time" with his wife. What she thought of this, when she has to wash up on her own after breakfast or lunch, was not recorded.
Well, now with the wife's birthday coming up, I think I'll sling the dyson in the bin and get her a jolly nice dust pan and brush.
I know she'll appreciate the quality time we get together, as a result...8 -

IIRC, when RD was first being made known to us he was said to enjoy d-i-y.
His address as recently given on here appears on Google Streetview as a modest bungalow, not really what you'd expect of a tycoon.
Maybe this frugality does indeed stem from his family background and in particular the harsh wartime years. Sint-Truiden has always been an important centre for horticulture (food never scarce), and as with the Dutch those hungry years have left an everlasting impression.

These are Rolands values for his electronics business which presumably he is trying to apply to running a football club.
Customer Orientation
We engineer the sustainable future for our customers. Our challenge is finding innovative ways to excel in the quality of our products and services, our relationships and our results. In doing so, we enable our customers to be successful with their respective customers. Sorry Roland, your customers think you are destroying the club's future

Enjoyment
We are committed to make working at Melexis enjoyable. Passion is part of our mission. Our goals are very ambitious and challenging for all of us. Both the private sphere and our work environment are essential parts of who we are. We therefore support our people in establishing a sustainable balance in their life. Give you this one Roland, very challenging
Leadership
We are leaders in our markets, through providing state-of–the-art and innovative products and technologies to our customers. We show leadership through team work and responsibility. Combined individual success creates team success. We will recognize the individual results as well as the team effort. To get there, we will ensure that our people are provided with opportunities to be heard and with the skills, information and empowerment to make a difference. One goal, one team, one voice. Roland, your leaders are bottom of the league!! Looking forward to the individual successes Roland

Profitability
This is the clearest and most tangible way to gauge our true effectiveness at delivering products and services that fulfill our customers’ expectations. Superior products and services are bound to generate superior profits. Superior profits will attract superior investors and shareholders thereby sustaining the investment cycles necessary to a financially healthy organization. Profitability is food for the future. We are a resounding failure then Roland
Respect
We value diversity and strive for business sustainability. We build a work environment of mutual trust and respect, founded on honesty, openness and fairness where each has equality of opportunity regardless of gender, race, ethnic background or experience.

I had this confirmed by a Standard liege fan who is a friend of mine. he said it is very well known about Roland this story.
He also said that he is renowned in both business and football for always beveling he is right and will ever listen. messiah was the word he used. it really is his way or the highway and that us meer mortals just don't see the future as he does.2 - Sponsored links:

From his interview by Belgian journalist Douglas de Coninck in 2015 in CAST News 10:
RD: “Like many people, I know that our solar system will no longer exist in five billion years. It is also conceivable that a few people in the meantime now and then will escape. I believe therefore that Turing was a very intelligent man, and that he realised that. He didn't lie awake at night, worrying about being famous. That is totally not important. If someone thinks I’m a fat idiot, I’m sorry for him, but that’s not important to me.”
Q: Only you can see what others can't?
RD: “Me and a few other people. Few people see things clearly. Many people think tomorrow will be just like yesterday. It's normal that they think like that, but in practice it is not like that. I belong to the small group of people who think tomorrow will be different from today."
Q: Philosopher Philippe van Parijs. who also lobbies for free money, once said that you need a coalition of three types of people to bring about change: daredevils. visionaries and opportunists. Which are you?
RD: “I‘m a visionary, of course. Because I'm an engineer. I try to reflect on how the world might look tomorrow"

Well riddle me this Oh great Messiah how come you keep making the same mistakes at Charlton..every day?
Visionary..my arse!...deluded fruit loop more like.7 -
Wonder if his visionary powers foresaw what would happen at CAFC.
Many people think next week's protest will be like last week's protest. It's normal they think like that , but in practice it's not like that. CARD belongs to the 2% who think next week's protest will be different from last week's protest.
An amazing meeting of minds.4 -
He fetishises himself, his genius. A sustained campaign of ridicule, brought home to him in Belgium, might just get under his skin and make him want to get rid of us to make it stop.1

Exactly this. He comes across as a pompous arse who, for all his self proclaimed genius, lacks the mental dexterity to engage in humour.gilbertfilbert said:He fetishises himself, his genius. A sustained campaign of ridicule, brought home to him in Belgium, might just get under his skin and make him want to get rid of us to make it stop.
I think he struggles to deal with any form of embarrassment or ridicule on a personal level.
This might also help to explain why he is so elusive. He can't engage with people for too long, so great is his fear of someone pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. RD may also be painfully aware that he lacks the presence and charisma to shout down a mob.
Tuesday's outburst was just the beginning - the first creak before the building collapses!3 -
I think I've sussed his plan, most suitably expressed in an adaptation of a Buddy Holly classic!!
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh
You're gonna give your dosh to me
Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh
To see a weird experience on matchday
Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh
Before I mug you off and then run away (x2)

Soooo.... Basically he destroys souls and and badly covers it up and continues to walk all over said destroyed souls.
Sounds like Roland those poor poor shoes.0 -
That's why there was duct tape on his shoes two weeks in a row. He's a fetishist. That's where he keeps his gag tape that he also uses as a depilatory tool.gilbertfilbert said:He fetishises himself, his genius.
