    I stand to be corrected but didn't she live in a posh flat in Docklands? God knows if there is an equivalent area in Sheffield but I somehow doubt it. As I can't really see her living in a 2 up 2 down terrace I can only assume she will be 'working from home' a lot. Maybe that is the best Sheffield can hope for as in my experience people who 'work from home' never do that much.

    Hillsborough is close to the posh bit of Sheffield and some very nice places - more big house than Docklands Flat, but not a hardship post at all.
    The southern perception of life in the north never ceases to amaze me. We even have the internet up here now.
    You bloody liar!

    fuck me its like deja vu over there on owls talk.

    it seems they have got to the stage where they are discussing a boycott of season tickets next year. some are saying how can you stop supporting your team, obviously not a proper Wednesday fan. others saying they don't want to give any more of their money to a failed business concept and a chairmen/CEO who doesn't care about the fans and the history of the club.

    give it a year and CARD might be able to flog any of those pigs they've got left.

    So funny that the threads about her have gone. It's started....

    Yes the one I was reading last night has deffo gone. I think we should try to have a chat with the admin guy on Owlstalk who posted up the vids and everything. I can see that there is a user on here with the handle @owlstalk (but banned!) . There was also one @owlsonlineadmin but that might be a a different board.

    I know some people here are not well disposed towards that group of fans, (and clearly in some cases its mutual) but from what I saw on the Owlstalk thread, it's much like on here, the vast majority seemed decent and want the same things for their club as we do for ours. If it is true that he has had to delete that thread, for the reasons we suspect, that is simply outrageous (as I saw nothing there that was remotely libellous or abusive), and we should help them resist.
    The thread is still there, they just moved it to a different part of the forum.

    Fuck all this niceness , she was utter shit , clueless beyond belief
    As a match sponsor over several years and having done a couple under this regime (she’s the only CEO who didn’t make an effort with us as sponsors )
    When I emailed her a couple of times telling her the reasons for me pulling out of match sponsorship and mascot stuff for my kids , there was no response .
    Years back when I attempted to leave Valley Gold Steve Dixon rang me up to talk me back in .
    Reg Varney sent emails thanking me etc
    Even the Geordie Smiler made and effort to meet us sponsors .
    That lazy back and front , nothing .
    As someone who hates people it’s not a problem but when she’s supposed to be the face of a football club she has to have more people skills than silly girl smiles.

    Anyway she has been involved ,at the top end of our club , which led to my group of 20 disintegrating to just me and my 4 boys going , so we’ve missed out on family and friends time together .
    Yes they all chose not to go and I respect them thoroughly , if I wasn’t brainwashing my boys I’d have definitely done the same.
    Not bought any merchandise or beer or food in the ground for over 2 years , it’s a pain in the arse but I’d consider myself highly principled when these chancers turn up at ours taking the vinegar piss out of us .

    She can go wherever but I dislike that she was involved in me missing out on memories that we can’t get back and I can’t wait to have my boys niece and nephews mascots and going to The Valley regularly again, hopefully mates and their kids will return .

    Bollox to all the niceties and apologists sticking up for this self promoting twunt .

    If anyone has met Fanny Fanackapan a nicer lady you couldn’t meet and that lazy cow stopped her from being involved in the aborted player of the year evening because she didn’t like being criticised , well piss off as well you sad blinkered lame ducks

    The witch is leaving the building, good riddance to bad rubbish departing our beloved football club .


    and on the other hand...

    Well, that's f****d it.

    I know that we are not the most popular with you lot (or any lot come to think of it!) but please, spare a thought for us this New Year.

    Our Chairman spat his dummy out when he had to sack our manager and said he would start to run us 'as a business'. Looks like he is teaching us a lesson. I hadn't realised that we had to be eternally grateful for paying some of the highest ticket prices in division and yet weren't allowed an opinion.

    We are currently charging around £40k a year for Corporate Boxes (they are all empty because the chairman basically doubled the price overnight) and has accused local businesses of only supporting the club in the past because they were 'getting something for nothing'.

    I won't bore you with our troubles, you've had enough of your own but you never know, you may have just got lucky and passed on the baton!

    I genuinely thought under your owner that things were on the up based on getting in the play offs for the last few years running and the money you were spending on players like Rhodes and getting players like Forestieri, never knew you had what looks like another suspect owner

    I’ve dont mind both Sheffield clubs to be fair. Both got good support and although you sing that song that does my nut ‘in your own fucking house’, I prefer you to Leeds fans with that stupid champions of Europe song and eternal big club mantra

    I think football in this country has changed permanently now. The sorts of money floating about means that the local owner and local businessman can no longer get involved. It’s bad because so few clubs win (Chelsea, Man City for example) but many, many clubs lose

    I actually pray for the day for the bottom to fall out the game because you’ll no longer have owners buying championship clubs in the hope of getting them into the prem then abandoning them as they realise how much money they end up losing, thereby screwing them over. Players won’t be getting astronomical wages for making up squads and hopefully fans get their clubs back

    With regard to Meire, I honestly don’t believe she has it in her to deliver success but you can never say never. From the way you’ve just positioned it, sounds like she’s just taking up another figurehead type role

    Good luck, you truly will need it

    There are some great posts on there. Apologies if others have quoted these already:

    "I’m afraid we’re finding out what it’s like to be owned by someone who bought a football club as a hobby for his son. #swfc"

    "Appointment Charltons nightmare CEO✅"

    "It's been clear we've need a CEO for quite some time to assist the inexperienced Chairman.

    So the inexperienced Chairman brings in a CEO that had fans rioting weekly in the car park at Charlton #swfc "

    Whoever Gordon Watson is, and he seems to be around my age, I doff my hat to him. If they didn't get it before, they do now. But I think they did get it, long before the thread went private. He's just delivered the closing statement for the prosecution, and done us all proud in the process.

    For your sake, @londonowl I sincerely hope Katrien has - in the words of her annual mantra - learned from her mistakes. But somehow, I doubt it.

    If I'm right, and things go pear-shaped with her in charge at SWFC, you may wish to learn from our experience and encourage female supporters to mobilise. https://charltonlife.vanillaforums.com/discussion/76523/war-women-against-the-regime-respond-to-martin-samuels-daily-mail-article/p1 This really did counter the regime's assertions that the protests were just a manifestation of sexism and misogyny in a way they found unanswerable.

    KM will never take criticism - she is severely deluded. Will always play the victim rather than accept she's arrogant and inept.

    If she'd have gone back to work in law (still need to complete that training contract Katrien) of if she had moved on to another industry or business of Duchatelets then I would have been fairly happy to ignore her and let her face off into a distant horrible memory (nightmiere). The fact that she has somehow got another role in English football has angered me greatly. This shouldn't be allowed to happen. The people that run our game and have a duty to protect it from people like her should have banned her from any further involvement with football clubs.

    I hope Wednesday fans see through her bullshit and bluster. I hope they hound her our the club even more angrily that we did. I hope she finally gets the message that we don't want people like her anywhere near our precious game. And I hope she leaves for good.

    She now has a new stage to fail miserably on. Don’t be angry, just let nature take its course ;-)

    I notice the Charlton Athletic holdings LTD companies house shows it as ‘termination of employment’ rather than ‘resignation’

    Anything in that?

    If Sheff Wendies apoint Lambert as gaffer Katrien won't understand a word he is saying. I mean I can't understand a word he saysmyself. So what hope does Katrien have? I can just about understand Sir Alex or Kenny Dalglish but not Lambert.
