Like the slug she is, she is hiding in her shell. She is probably hoping results will pick up and she can ride it out. Not the great example of leadership you would expect from a decent CEO, but we all know she isn’t a decent CEO.
Do slugs hide in shells?
Hermit slugs perhaps. Sound more like Ducatelet than Mare though.
Facts suggest that as a CEO of Charlton Athletic that Katrien Meire is out of her depth, and is certainly not suitable to be an executive of any football club.
Speaks volumes about her abilities that this is the longest time she has spent in a job. It's clearly not because she is such a brilliant talent. Also, check out her skills. None, aside from legal advice (presumably when she tries to claim unfair dismissal) at all relevant to operating a football club.
As recently as five years ago she was a trainee at a law firm!!!
I think she spent the first 12 months fixing obvious issues like the pitch, the creditors and signing a few players scouted by others or supplied by Liege.
But she's been drowning for a few months now in fact ever since Luzon was appointed. Of course others choose to post that ''Katrien Meire is out of her depth, and is certainly not suitable to be an executive''
I wrote something to this effect here on CL last January.
If you Google her name you can see that the negative publicity is starting to have an impact.
The first few returns are her moaning about the "abuse" she's had to face, but the really damming article for her personally, the one written by Medium, is on the first page.
I have no doubt that for someone as ambitious as Katrien, having your "Googleability" damaged will be pretty horrific so getting the articles which tell the truth (like the Medium article) up the rankings should be a priority for us. I know some very basic SEO tips but is there anyone in the game who might have an idea of a strategy ?
As a lawyer she has already had her Wiki page removed under web privacy protocol and I am sure these articles will vanish as soon as they appear.
Oh what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive!
I have a daughter of about her age, and if I were her Dad I’d advise her to leave Charlton and get as far away as possible from that nasty Mr Duchâtelet. He has left her in the firing line to take all his flak as well as her own.
She should then take a holiday before getting herself a nice little office job in the City. Join the gym, get a little cat, and settle down in the evenings to watch a bit of TV. Maybe sign up for Sky Movies - but definitely not the football.
It seems to me she is most lacking in good parental advice.
My kids stopped listening to my advice when they were about ten or eleven.

That sounds like an 'I told you so' after you mention that Katrien Meire is out of her depth, and is certainly not suitable to be an executive. You used to be one of the most pro-Roland people on here, I wouldn't be too proud.
It has always been a fact that Katrien Meire is out of her depth, and is certainly not suitable to be an executive.
I used to work for a self made multi millionaire entrepreneur, one day he was being fitted for a suit and thought the young man serving him was great so offered him a job in his £100m t/o business heading up projects, a role for which he had no qualifications and he subsequently failed in the role. he was fired, the only difference between the two entrepreneurs (RD) is that roland has not identified his mistake and sacked her yet. Square pegs round holes.
I'll be honest, I was one of those that this time last year supported her as being a breath of fresh air who showed potential, the problem is she has failed to build on those early months and learn from her mistakes and has in fact continually repeated them.
I would hope that Charlton Athletic's Katrien Meire, who is out of her depth and is certainly not suitable to be an executive would soon come to that realization herself, so that the British economy (at least that around SE London) could get going again.

Bullshit and bluster works for a limited time. Then you have to show you have what it takes. She has been found out, as evidenced by her rather pathetic playing of the hurt female card. It does her no credit and harms other females who are managing very well in business.
Much as I think KM is dreadful and feel the club dying just a little bit more with every ridiculous statement she makes, I don't see her resigning making any difference so long as RD remains in charge. It's ultimately the owner that's the problem and whoever is CEO we'll just get the same old bullshit...

You are probably right. But think how much of a spring it will put in your/our step to see that loathsome individual packing her bags
Indeed, Katrien Meire who is out of her depth and is certainly not suitable to be an executive to the point where she would need water wings to negotiate the potholes in the west stand car park when it rains, has been sussed in the same way she was in her legal career, if it can be called that. Her failure to address the problem of the potholes, an ongoing issue she inherited and has wholly failed to rectify just goes to prove Katrien Meire who is out of her depth and is certainly not suitable to be an executive, has not engaged with her customers in any way at all.

Did you go back to fitting suits after he sacked you? ;-)
