CARD STATEMENT: Post Relegation
The Coalition Against Roland Duchatelet (CARD) notes the statement released by Charlton Athletic chief executive Katrien Meire following the club’s relegation to League One and rejects it completely.
Last August, Meire wrote in her programme notes “From a personal point of view, I realise that from now on there’s no one to hide behind any more.”
Yet she has been hiding virtually ever since, at least when it comes to engaging openly and honestly with supporters. The truth is that she is wretchedly inadequate for her role and so are most of her senior management.
She and the owner Roland Duchatelet have made mistake after mistake since they came to the club in January 2014 and despite numerous promises to the contrary they have never learned from them.
They are the reason the club has been relegated. If they had a shred of integrity or self-awareness, they would walk away now. We are not interested in their excuses or their plans.
There will be no collaboration with them, now or in the future. They are the enemy of everything that Charlton has been and will be again. We must remove them, chairman Richard Murray and their other apologists before they destroy the club completely.
CARD will be leading massive demonstrations before, during and after Saturday’s match against Brighton & Hove Albion. More details will follow.
We call on all Charlton Athletic supporters to come to SE7 on Saturday to unite behind these protests and help us drive these people out of The Valley now.
It's our club. On Saturday, let's make it utterly clear that the only plan Charlton fans will accept from this regime is an exit one.

A perfect statement. If there are massive protests before and after the game, I'll be there, for both.3

Let's f**king have it on Saturday14

On the pitch 60th minute, no ifs - no buts.
Seriously though that is a very strong worded statement and a great rally cry from CARD, I hope everyone can get behind it and help us rid Charlton of this RD disease for good.2 -

Excellent statement, thank you. If Squirrel Face thinks anyone will be bought off by a bland statement written weeks ago, then we have to show her that we are not going to meekly walk away because we have been relegated ... more that they will be ramped up even more3

Should they still be here after the summer and if, by some miracle, we get off to a good start to the season - this should be repeated again and again and again.
This club will never return to its former self, on and off the pitch, with them in charge.3 -

Don't hold your breath, Sue Parkes and the rest of The Flat Earth Society probably thought it was a good statement.andynelson said:

Sorry I can't join you after the match on Saturday, I've got to be at Liverpool Street by 6 o'clock to catch my train back to Suffolk, but will be with you in spirit, and of course in anything you do at the start, or during of the game. Give0
