Katrien on Sky Sports tues AM.

Another very good feature, following Katrien's impressive performance on the Radio 4 programme last week. The club needs some positive media coverage, both in terms of encouraging season ticket sales to existing and potential supporters and more generally in a reputational sense within the world of football. She is certainly getting out and about - including to supporter group meetings - so all credit to her in that respect.

As most of us know, it takes time to grow into any job and converting from a Competition lawyer to football club CEO (give or take three months at Liège) is not, I would suggest, a particularly well-trodden path. Add to that the difficulties facing the club at the time of the takeover and the turbulent period thereafter and you can see that it has hardly been a smooth bedding in period. There have obviously been some misunderstandings, miscommunications and errors of judgment along the way but hopefully all parties will now look forward rather than back and work towards developing better and more effective communication between the club and its supporters. That is what all of us, including the Trust, have been seeking. It would, of course, be helpful to hear from Roland - presumably via one of his Youtube specials - but I can understand why he wants communications to come through his appointed CEO. Indeed, the criticisms earlier this year may well have hardened his attitude in that respect; to have made an appearance at that stage would only have served to undermine Katrien in her position as CEO. I suspect that anything that Roland has to say would, in any event, be pretty anodyne. It is very difficult (as well as being a hostage to fortune) to be too categoric about squad personnel at this stage, pending approaches to potential Bosman signings, contract negotiations with existing players (notably Gudmundsson, Cousins and the Standard loanees) and - most importantly - any offers that we might receive for our best players. Fingers crossed that we can keep the core squad together and improve it incrementally like we did last summer, although that's easy for me to say when I'm not writing a cheque to cover the £6 million or so losses for this season !
