Poyet allowed to leave without a contract no longer playing, Gomez sold for £3.5m but has been the scouse Lewis Page ever since, Lookman sold for a possible £11m and now lost in Germany rather than France with apologies to Bonnie Tyler.
In the word of the great Nolly discuss.

She was a disaster.
The rest? Ducking fisaster.
Diego is happy doing what He's doing.
Joe is playing for England and worth at least £50million in today's transfer market.
Ademola is plying his trade abroad and has an age group world cup winners medal.
Did Katrien influence any of these instances. No. She was out of her depth, and still is today having been an abject failure everywhere. Her parents must be proud...not!
she was lazy, had no interest in our fan base, ignored emails, even polite ones from fans, bought shit players to the club on long contracts, hired terrible managers, sold good players for a pittance. Put a picture of the wrong player on the screen for a minutes applause, played house music, ran up debts and many other things I have now forgotten.
In fact, with no-one doing her job.
Therefore having no-one is better than her,
To be fair though, in terms of those 3 instances, the Lookman fee was decent, the Poyet contract situation was more the fault of the Spivs, and I suspect her hands were tied with the Gomez transfer. The way the transfer happened with no sign of any bidding war or interest from the likes of Spurs and Arsenal makes me suspect that there was a clause in his contract, which he wouldn't have signed otherwise. These days players and agents have a lot of power, e.g. this story on the BBC Gossip page today
She told us, eagerly, about this, that and the other. We looked on, glumly, because her Great Plan had next-to-nothing in common with CAFC.
And then we looked on, even more glumly, as our club fell to bits.

Account not hacked but those 3 players have not kicked on as thought for different reasons, although they are still young enough to in the future, so on a quiet weekend I thought it a valid question to ask nearly 2 years on from her departure.
I was no fan of Meire. Her sneering comments about the Club's history and 'old' fans alienated me from virtually day 1 of her tenure regardless of anything else she did or didn't do.
