She has clearly been able to fool some of the people some of the time but, ultimately her complete lack of talent, empathy and self-knowledge will catch her out in any job.
If she washes up as CEO of the Premier League I’ll be enrolling in Dignitas.
If we take off the tinted glasses we’d see that she hasn’t done much wrong since she’s left and most Wednesday fans aren’t happy she’s gone. Shockingly not being the mouthpiece for the old bumbling idiot has allowed her to show what she can actually do. I wouldn’t be surprised if the FA do offer something.
So let's surmise this. Bruce gets job. Can't start until the day after the window closes. Leaves his 2 mates in charge to oversee things whilst he's indulging in family commitments. In Barbados. They get paid, Transfer Window left to them/her, leaving Bruce blameless by default. What kind of CEO would oversee such a potentially messy scenario...
Katrien Meire is leaving her job as CEO at Wednesday to try her luck at DFS.
" This is a fantastic opportunity to join a top championship team, Derby Football saints. I can't wait to join the Goats, and get to know Frank Lampard. Many people think I look like Frank's wife Alex Jones. With my help Frank Lampard can go on to emulate that great legend of English football Nigel Clough."
It’s good but can’t help think you’ve missed an obvious joke there somewhere....
I try not to do obvious jokes as I write all my own material and don't copy and paste.
Do you mean because she's still got a sofa stuck up her arse sideways ?

Don't be hasty Davo you need to resign from being a signatory on the protest fund and appoint a successor, I'm happy to take your place
Just had a text from GM. He’s told me he’s no longer going to be CEO when the sale is completed (within the next two weeks, after a couple of hurdles have been cleared) but has poached an excellent replacement from some northern club.
Sorry, why all the lols? [Edit: on second thoughts, that’s not funny]

Shockingly not being the mouthpiece for the old bumbling idiot has allowed her to show what she can actually do (nothing, clearly). I wouldn’t be surprised if the FA do offer something (she's shit, of course she'll end up at the FA).

Please don’t say you’re serious regarding GM’s comments.

What exactly did she do, then?
What exactly do most football CEOs do of note? Nothing that anyone is concerned about in public.

It's possible that her bosom buddy Karen Brady may of put in a word somewhere for her. Millwall are a family club, I wonder if she will run the crèche for the trainee terrible twos.

Sorry, poor attempt at a whoosh. Still haven’t pulled one off, dammit. (Edited above)

I don't know mate, but you were the one that said "show what she can actually do", and you can't provide an example - so it means nothing, basically.
We can't just ignore all the evidence presented to us in her time here. The reports back from staff at the club were completely damning. Duchatalet was and is the problem but it baffles me that a Charlton fan could think she was anything other than hopelessly out of her depth - other than sycophants such as Sue Perks.
Not sure about you, but I don't spend much time keeping up with the day to day activities of SWFC and their local press etc etc, so not sure how you could come to this conclusion. That said, I was sent a screenshot of an article about her departure that referenced her saying "we want to get fans to come to the club not just for the football" - seems she learned loads from her time here.

Question. Are the Jimmy and Gerald phone calls still happening or has Gerald gone ex-directory because of embarrassment ?

Not sure thats a good fit. After all she bottled it getting on a train... now a class of two year olds whose first words were "carnt"

Can’t see a certain Steve Kavanagh welcoming her, with open arms TBF:)
To be fair to her we haven't really noticed what she actually brought to the table here but maybe we are looking at someone who will link up better with Bruce.

Harry you may just be fishing for a LOL but this was mentioned to me from a female member of staff of longstanding who compared Katrien Meire and Peter Varney: Katrien would stroll in at 1PM on match days leaving all the work to others where Peter was at the valley by 9.30AM and was the hands on CEO making sure everything ran to clockwork and was polite to staff. Cafc were a bigger club and had bigger crowds when Varney was CEO but they were chalk and cheese in their professional approach to the position.

No. Just occasional texts re anything other than the takeover. He’s even stopped saying ‘you know I can’t answer that’, he just ignores any questions.
We’ll find out if it’s embarrassment, or something else, when it’s over. I know that people with contacts mean well, but so much info has been wrong that I think I’ll take a view once it’s over, rather than form one based on second hand info from people with any sort of an angle.

Where’s the crossing out button when you need it.
She quit. So she must have something else in place.
Could be a promotion of some sort. Premier League CEO role?
She does like to make friends and climb the ladder! pushes and pushes.
Other then that.
She is no longer our problem.
Millwall are a family club, I wonder if she will run the crèche for the trainee terrible twos.
