The new management steps forward confidently when meeting the fan groups. The agenda is not yet precise, but the meeting comes at an opportune time. According to information received by fans, the entire management will be present. Olivier Renard and Wouter Vandenhaute are the two people most awaited by the fanboard.
Renard will take advantage of this first meeting with the supporters to explain its sporting project and plan for the next major sporting operations, starting with the January transfer window and the ambitions for the second part of the season. Wouter Vandenhaute will give an explanation on the health of the club, which has just announced positive financial results for the 2023-24 financial year. Tim Borguet, new boss of Neerpede, will also be present to discuss his vision of the Anderlecht team.
These meetings are above all an opportunity to give fans a voice and allow them to bring their questions to the surface. They are often as numerous as they are varied. During the meeting held in September, Jesper Fredberg was bombarded with questions about his summer transfer window.
Tifos, harsh insults, Clean hands: Olivier Renard speaks for the first time: “I didn’t expect to be invited to a barbecue”
We are told that the agenda is not yet completely clear and that it is rarely a moment of great revelations. This is all the more true in this specific case, when the new sports boss has just taken office.
Some supporters have already agreed on a promise they intend to make to the club. After the anti-Renard banners, one of which described him as harmful in the eyes of the club, it was decided to no longer take the new sporting director to task for a while. Supporters will no longer criticize Olivier Renard before he has been able to prove himself. A sort of truce of two transfer windows, January and summer, to allow him to show what he is worth. A welcome truce after the tumult.
