So, at least, now, we know for sure how to get her to respond to an email!

It's a shame Top Gear has gone otherwise we could expect to see her doing the "star in a reasonably priced car" gig sometime soon. Perhaps HIGNFY or Buzzocks beckons?
BTW, were my ears deceiving me at half-time or were we informed that "KM and OTHER Charlton legends...." did the Upbeats walk?

Didnt hear KM's name mentioned once in regards to the walk... All I heard were the names Webster, Leaburn and Rufuscafcfan said:So, at least, now, we know for sure how to get her to respond to an email!

Had sky sports news on last night and this must've been a preview as there was a two minute clip of Katrien talking about how her first job after joining the club was to sack Powell.0

Is it a coincidence that since the Trust organised an open meeting for fans, one key message of which was there was a poor lack of communication at the club, KM seems to be more visible?
Trust may not have got their meeting but if this visibility is down to the meeting then it has certainly been a success to an extent.7 -

I think its pretty inevitable if you are making a programme about women in sport and you want to discuss football you would ask Katrien, the alternative is Karren Brady who once said that Birmingham don't need a youth policy because Tesco dont need to grow beans for their baked beans they buy them in!.Athletico Charlton said:Is it a coincidence that since the Trust organised an open meeting for fans, one key message of which was there was a poor lack of communication at the club, KM seems to be more visible?

She has probably been asked if she wanted to do this, and is supposed to be about women in sport, not Charlton Athletic.
Your facetious comments smack of sexism.6 -
I guess it's a similar situation to a certain former Charlton manager always being asked to appear on documentaries discussing the lack of black managers in the English game...1
-
whilst the comments made by cafcfan are unkind and cynical they are not sexist.It is not relevant what sex she is when it comes to replying to emails the point is she replies to emails that further her career.
Personally I think that is what the vast majority of business men and women do.
Write to Richard Branson and see if you get a reply.1 -
I suspect that after the managerial change fiasco it was decided to go on a charm / PR offensive, hence agreement to appear at Bromley. I don't think you can put it dopwn to the meeting facilitated by the Trust but certainly the meeting would have reinforced the needAthletico Charlton said:Is it a coincidence that since the Trust organised an open meeting for fans, one key message of which was there was a poor lack of communication at the club, KM seems to be more visible?

She agreed to appear at Bromley before the managerial change and before the Trust's meeting was announced.Kap10 said:

It strikes me as odd that if anyone wants to get hold of the Club's CEO for a media opportunity it is, it seems, very easy indeed. It is also in marked contrast to the CEO's clear lack of willingness to communicate in any form directly one-to-one with the club's stakeholders, you know, us supporters: a number of whom have expressed their dismay at being unable to elicit a response from the CEO when they have raised legitimate issues that have affected them in their day-to-day dealings with the club. Most (all?) do not even get the courtesy of a "I have passed your email on to my colleague X who will contact you directly" response from the CEO's PA.
I accept that my comments were facetious - they often are. I have a flippant trait. I also accept that they were sarcastic but in the circumstances I do feel they were warranted and not deserving of an apology, let alone any repentance or self-flagellation.
Whatever you may think of my attempt at (I'd hoped) humorously setting out the CEO's variable "availability", I do object to it being described as smacking of sexism. I'd have said the same about anyone.14 -
Why would the CEO reply to your email?
What was the subject, comment, question or request?1 -
An old fashioned concept, courtesy, springs to mind.PL54 said:Why would the CEO reply to your email?

Even if only to advise that the email has been referred to an underling.
No response whatsoever, unless the original email was personally abusive, smacks of arrogance in my view.3 -

I see, so you're upset "on behalf of someone else" ?
If I emailed the CEO of an organisation and expected a reply then it might be me that was arrogant.
This really arrogant person just walked 8+ miles for a good cause, attended 2 supporters meetings etc but hasn't replied to an email.
How does she know it isn't from her train buddy?2 -
