"Never i...To slightly mis-quote Churchill....<br /><br />"Never in the field of football was so little said to so many by so few..."<br /><br />A hope that things might just be turning were dashed by the impotent Richard Murray. Just what good he is doing on the Board is a mystery - I thought, and hoped, that he was staying on to act as a link between the owner and his mini-me mouthpiece (who both know nothing) and the supporters (who clearly know a lot more about running a successful football club).<br />Murray's admission about the lack of strength of the first team squad is something that most supporters saw back in September - only know do the 3 Stooges seem to have cottoned on!<br /><br />It's not what Murray said in the contrived statement that is important - it's the issues that he didn't raise which are more important... <br />1. the future of Fraeye and when are the club going to appoint a full time manager, <br />2. the position of M/s Meire (anyone in the normal commercial world who had made the number of gaffes that she has done would have been sacked months ago), <br />3. the lack of interest shown by Duchatelet in attending games, <br />4. the insult to supporters by calling us "customers", 5. the continual selling of our best players and replacing them by un-known out of depth players from obscure European clubs and<br />6. the decision to use the Academy as a feeder for Premier league clubs instead of a spring-board for the success of our own club.<br />Incidentally, on this last point, isn't Valley Gold now redundant? The purpose was to produce young players for the benefit of Charlton Athletic - not for a raft of Premier league clubs. On this point I have now cancelled my membership in protest.<br /><br />Richard Murray has played a very important part in this club over the last 20 years - he does himself no favours in continuing to support Duchatelet and his 'mini-me'... he is fast losing all credibility. I know that he has his investment to protect - but just how will that ever be paid back when we are in division 1 - or, God-forbid, division 2???<br />Now Richard, if you would like to answer the above 6 points candidly and honestly we may actually start to move forward rather than backwards....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1271905914818553317.post-53269638296612996542016-01-07T15:23:04.050+00:002016-01-07T15:23:04.050+00:00I am inclined to agree.
