It made me feel as though I owned a very small part of the club. We were all in it together. To be called customers is a real insult. Katriene Miere is losing Charlton thousands of pounds in business by alienating her 'customers' and she should resign. These people are not fit to run a football club.<br /><br />I want to watch players that are proud to play for Charlton. Not foreigners who are just here because they belong to the owner, or youngsters who just see us as a step up to something better.<br /><br />I can understand the idea of trying to run the club without losing money. Everyone wants that and we don't want a club with a large debt, but we also know that realistically it's going to lead to relegation, which is then going to lead to more debt. Relegation will also damage the youth set up because youngster won't want to play in Division 1 or 2. The big problem is football in general. The only money is in the Premier League and I can't see how a club can be successful without having money thrown at it. These Belgians are doomed to fail.Charlton Scrapbooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-60832200826266802222016-01-08T10:57:53.585+00:002016-01-08T10:57:53.585+00:00Dave,

I think you are being very optimistic...<br /><br />The difference between next season in div 1 and previous years down in that God-forsaken division is that in previous years there was hope .... hope that the Board / Owners would provide the money and the set-up to get promoted. That is what kept the fans watching.<br /><br />This time there is no hope - Duchatelet appears willing to let the club fester there ... that is if he can stop the rot and prevent a further fall into division 2.<br />Charlton are a basket-case. No player with half a brain would want to join the un-ambitious outfit that we are likely to become.<br /><br />I have cancelled my Valley Gold membership as the Academy (according to Meire) is now going to be a production line for Premier league clubs and the kids will not be used as a basis to build a good squad able to get Charlton promoted - I don't want to watch them for a year (or 3 months in the case of Lookman...) and move on - I want to see them stay with MY club as part of a strong team led by experienced pro's.<br /><br />I do not intend to pay any more money into Charlton, I've been to my last home game until the Club employ a BRITISH manager with suitable experience AND either Duchatalet goes OR he totally changes his policies. I fear that I am in for a long exile.... I will watch the odd away game when it suits me, but only because my gate money will not find its way into Duchatelet's grubby paws.<br /><br />IF we avoid relegation this year then I have no doubt that we'll be in the same mess next year... as we have been for the last 2 years. On that point at least Duchatelet is consistent...! At the moment there is no hope at the Valley - there has always been hope in the past and that's what has kept us turning up. <br /><br />RIP Charlton Athletic, born 1905, destroyed by a Belgian idiot 2016.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-77541770575906667832016-01-08T08:58:53.688+00:002016-01-08T08:58:53.688+00:00Desperate times are these, for people of my age, r...Desperate times are these, for people of my age, reminiscent of the Gliksten era in the 60s/70s. The difference being that Gliksten, despite being uninterested in the club which he had inherited, at least bothered to attend matches and listen to the flak. It should be borne in mind however that the crowds in those days dropped to 3000-4000 at one stage.
