If as has been stated by Louis its come from Roland then very puzzling - it can't be a knee jerk reaction two days later yet written in anger. Someone's made a boo boo here - if it's KM then surely to god her position is finally untenable?
I was invited to the Training Ground today along with other hospitality customers. We were accompanied by the Senior Management team and prior to the tour we had a chance to put some questions to KM. I don't think she was expecting it and seemed a bit rattled that about half of us were asking questions that she didn't like.
I had hoped that there would have been a Q & A session with the SMT at the end, but that was with JJ, Ademola & Alou Diarra.
As we were leaving I went up to her on my own and took the opportunity to ask her if she was going to respond to CARD's statement and whether they would be meeting the Trust. During that conversation she said to me that Roland had met with some fans. I thought nothing of that at the time, but for it to appear in the 'statement' tonight seems a bit of a coincidence.
I hope you told her she can poke her hospitality package up her passage?

That's interesting. Joking aside, who on earth could those fans have been? How would they have been got together, when he only visited for a few hours on a non matchday.
Did they talk to each other or anyone before issuing that statement? I've just emailed the statement to PR Week as I doubt they have seen anything quite that bad in recent times.
To really twist the knife, now is the time for PV to reiterate to the media that he has a party willing to buy the club. The pressure on Roland is mounting......

Perhaps he thinks someone taking a photo of him on a train constitutes a meeting?
Tomorrows email brought forward in light of club statement
Club Statement
Dear Katrien,
In light of tonight's club statement I have had to bring my daily email forward a few hours. Yes that's 2 emails from me in one day. May I also add that this statement has come at a very inconvenient time. It is during the late evening hours of the night that I am furiously swiping right on Tinder, winking at posh totty on the Inner Circle, and wincing at some of the winks I get on match.com (I'm not lying, I will show you when we finally get to meet).
Anyway, I'm speechless, actually no, that's not right, this is an email, I'm....what's the correct term here, what's the speechless equivalent when writing an email. I'll come back to that.
Are you okay? Is Roland okay? Have you been out on the lash? Has Roland just done a few lines of condensed milk, got charged and thought he'd tell it like it is (or how he sees it)?
That statement is probably one of the greatest pieces of literature in the history of not only Charlton Athletic, not only football, but of all the ancients texts and classics the world over. Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Confucius, Marx, Luther King and Cliff Richard couldn't have penned something as magnanimous or as insightful as that if they all combined their mighty intellect twenty times over.....
Where did you come up with it? Who came up with it? Why did they come up with it? Who said it was a good idea to run with it?
The content????? Why are the club claiming Roland has met with the fans? Neither you nor Roland got back to me about my invitation for dinner at an award winning Thai restaurant. No one got back to me about 'Rolling with Roland', my film dedicated to our leader. When I offered to take Roland with us on the coach to Sheff Wed on Saturday, here we are, 3 days away, nothing, zero, zip, nilch, nadda. I was going to sit Roland next to the 31 year man. I was going to buy Roland a coffee from a Costa at a services. Have you ever bought a coffee from a motorway service station? Minimum price a small deposit on a house!!!! Newport Pagnell, Leicester Forest East, it doesn't matter. It's expensive. I had my legal team writing to the Eagles to ask to use the rights to 'Life in the fast lane' as Roland sits on the coach, the camera panning round his head. I was going to sell my father's mug and programme collection to finance this venture in case the British Film Council didn't see the potential.
Roland never met with me. You can't release a statement saying Roland has met with the fans. The trip for 5 lucky winners to go to Roland's half baked football factory hasn't even happened yet. You've jumped the gun.
Please issue a retraction immediately and go back to ignoring the protests, it's just 2% of our fan base, a few idiots, nothing to worry about.
I'm off to bed now. By the time I wake up I want to imagine this is all just a bad dream and we can get back to focusing on the important things like target 20k and more sofas.
Good night

That is one of your best ones yet!
I hope you will publish your efforts in a book when these clowns finally leave town.

His cabby from London City airport to the Valley and back, but he quickly changed the subject and asked how the traffic has been.
Further to my earlier post - did the clubs new Comms manager have any input into this debacle today......my personal opinion is that she must have - so just weeks after her meeting supporters at a branch event, it appears that she has been brainwashed by KM that what she says goes. ......
Fill your boots folks. They want to hear from you at fans@cafc.co.uk
This puzzles me.
What's happened since that statement about the new email address went live? Or the statement yesterday with the empty platitudes? This is a complete U turn.
The truth be told I can only think he or she is watching our response and realised it's a lost cause. Combined with drink you get embarrassment.
It pains me to say, but if that is the case and Katrien has been reading and reacted this way... then I genuinely fear for mental well-being. I worry not only for her state of mind but her safety. She needs to be removed as soon as possible and, dare I say it, as an employer Roland needs to look after her for a while as his duty of care.
I despise the woman for what she's done but this U turn and the way that statement is worded does still make me concern for her well being as a fellow human being.
If you are reading this Katrien, resign. It WILL blow over if you go, most likely by the time you've sorted yourself out. Yes you'll need to rebuild your reputation but so have lots of people. No job is worth your mind, take it from me.
I totally agree about a duty of care. It must feel godawful being in Katriens shoes right now, and on a human level it is miserable and harmful what's happening. I am not interested in saying anybody 'deserves' it, even if true, but I hope somebody somewhere can realise that Katrien needs to be cared for in some appropriate way or other, and can offer that care.

Yes however I don't think it meant " what she says goes.... on the OS"

Truly bizarre. I don't know what to say.

However if you take the last letter of each paragraph and read it backwards it says "Roland is the devil" !!!! Well it does if your dyslexic
Oh wait!
From Roland then, not Katrien.
