    Absolutely excellent. And heart-wrenching.

    Excellent video.
    You put it together brilliantly.
    Amazingly as others have said, there are so many other things that could have been included such as the 2 percent or the puppy farm comments.

    My word the plan was to have a half time dance off for a chance to sit in the sofa.
    Is definitely weird.

    A fantastic video and thanks for posting. Such a fantastic resume of the many horrors committed by the 'senior management team' of morons.

    I know! I was gutted when I found out that was only 'reported' by media outlets and we didn't have the actual soundbyte or a video....

    Brilliant video but as a summary it doesn't catch the little things like Rolands statement, karel being interim for so long, backroom staff leaving/bring forced out, powell being told which players to play, players arriving from Belgium, etc

    Top work.

    So much great creative work from our fans. This is how we keep the club's soul alive. Thank you, all of you.

    Well done, this is brilliant. That quote of KMs's when she talks about the 5 managers all being right at the time because we improved, have to be up there with the great lies of our times. "I'll still love you in the morning", "The cheque is in the mail" and "I'm from Head Office and I'm here to help you".

    Of all football clubs (and everyone would hate it though the idea is so stupid it's hilarious) Charlton is the least likely to appreciate or put up with a half time fan dance off competition in order to get an opportunity to sit on a sofa.

    It's funny because when she said that, she supposedly spent her day to day time helping run the club for the last 18 months so she should technically know more about charlton then I, or most people do.

    There is no sign that she has learnt anything. When you come into something you have to adapt to the way it is, not the way you always want it to be.

    If she doesn't like Charlton because it doesn't have enough gimmicks and apparent off field entertainment, fine no problem, football as it is may not be your cup of tea. Here an answer.

    F*ck off then

    Katrien Meire the weird/unique one.

    Strange to write 'excellent' to such a dispiriting video, but it truly brought home the wretchedness of it all. Well done.
    Edit: as dispiriting a viewing as it is,like all the best lampooning it was peppered with humour.RD and KM laughing at RM's talk of the Academy and Luzon's umming and ahhing over why he decided to come to Charlton were priceless...

    great video. loved the cut to jacko when KM said we weren't failing!

    Also:
    From the floor : It seems excessive to go through 5 managers in two years
    KM: Nevertheless they proved to be he right decision every time
    From the floor: Have they?

    Sorry, can't remember who it was who asked question, but the way he says "Have they?" is fantastic. The delivery of those words, spoken off the cuff, is perfection. They really put her in her place but of course she is too thick-skinned to even notice. Fitting they are featured in text on video.

    Great video, just the right length too.

    Great vid all round.

    From day one of when Katrien arrives she looks good normal and healthy and has already aged terribly in only 2 years.

    My word the plan was to have a half time dance off for a chance to sit in the sofa.

    I remember when I first saw Pie Cam at half time and wanted the world to end there and then.

    Truly sad and at the same time a brilliant film.
    I would like all the other fanzine sites to see this.
    Not getting any younger and unless these people sell up
    I can't see me ever going to the Valley again.
    They have truly killed a great club!

    Some of the mock up posters and designs on this blog have been brilliant in recent months but this short film (and the very clever editing) takes the Valley creativity levels to new heights. CAFC the club where all the talent is (or should that read as was) on the terraces.

    Good effort.
    Not a critisism but when watching the Murray bit about keeping the youngsters for longer, the first thing that entered my mind was Meire's statement at the conference about us watching the future premiership stars. Would have fitted in well after and been telling.

    I haven't been to a home game all year. Went to one away game. In fact I aint been to more than 5 games in the last 3 years. BUT I have just seen that video and my blood is absolutely boiling. Especially the bit where that fucking 2 bob bit of marketing speak no good cunt talks about customers and compares a club that has been through what we have to going to the CINEMA That tart doesn't realise that English football is NOT about pie charts and fucking revenue streams but about belonging and passion and love and community. I feel sorry for her in a way as she must be begging the Belgian knob to get her out of this surely?

    In a very weird way it has made me more interested in going again. Maybe it brings back memories of the back to the valley campaign in me, but we won that and can win this.

    Only just caught up with this. Hope it's not too late to say brilliant stuff. Congrats to all involved in the making of it.

    If only Doucbag and Squirrel Face would have worked with the fans all this creative brilliance could have been theirs. Instead they have managed through their stupidity to bring all this huge creative talent down on them. The fools.
