So, their team will now be full of Belgian U21 players, 'on loan' from SL?
I wonder what his motive is?
With a jellied eel twist.
I guess they'll get some synergies out of this. Can they join development squads?
I thought UEFA stopped this sort of thing?
or was it clubs in the top flight?

Apparently the guy who bought them has stakes in clubs in Belgium, Germany and Hungary!!

Standard and Roland Duchâtelet are always in the news here concerning how much they get from the Liege council in subsidies and how much tax they pay. Earlier this year there was a story about Duchâtelet taking €20 million out of the club to give shareholders as dividends as 'legal' tax dodge. I wouldn't be too keen if I was an Addicks fan.

I think there's rules agains owning teams in the same country and multiple teams who would be eligible for a european competition.
At this point it wont be long before the Championship is made up of Udinese B and Standard Liege B etc.

And so it begins.
How good back up players from a Belgian side will be is another question though. That Habib Habibou fella was one of the best players in a team who finished above Standard Liege last season, and knowing 2 Leeds fans, was pretty dreadful. Then again, if they get the next Lukaku....

Your support is not that great
Tie in a local media sponsor and I can see Charlton being renamed Evening Standard Liege.

I always laugh when I see the word "moules" because it is slang in French for a ladies front bottom

Duchatelet is now in the process of buying Alcorno (a Spanish 2nd Division side). People rightly concerned as to what the hell his overall plan is - looks to be having clubs all over Europe and loaning players between them in lieu of using the transfer market. Weird. Could become the norm if it works, but surely UEFA will have to change the rules?

I always wondered why I liked 'Moules Mariniere' so much
So I guess it is 'Ladies front bottom from the sea' ?timco

I don't think I would object if we became Barcelona B
