Protest messages removed after a day
Anderlecht have already begun removing protest messages left by disgruntled supporters at the club's facilities, just one day after they appeared (1).

With the season finished and the team sitting 4th, a disappointing return for a club that expects to compete for titles, frustration is clearly bubbling to the surface.
U17 Euros final: Anderlecht's future No.1 and more
Belgium's U17s play the European Championship final this Sunday, and Anderlecht's fingerprints are all over the squad (2). The standout name for your club: the goalkeeper described as Anderlecht's future number one. Also in the mix, a winger drawing comparisons to Jérémy Doku and a midfielder already carrying the Antwerp midfield at youth level. These are the talents shaping Belgian football's next wave, and several call Anderlecht home.
Fan reactions
Cautious optimism mixed with worry about the disconnect between fans and the club. Several supporters voiced concern that the quick removal of protest banners signals the board is more interested in appearances than addressing real issues. On the youth front, excitement is building around the U17 final, the goalkeeper prospect in particular has fans genuinely hopeful about the future.
