Head of Comms advertised

Considering Matt Wright resigned 4 months ago, surprised its taken so long to advertise for a replacement.

Seems to me like they are asking a lot for 30-odd K

    says up to £40k now

    Thought it was interesting that it the JD seems slanted towards PR and no mention of journalism

    Also no advert for the job Gary Haines left or Lisa the other member of the comms team who has just departed.

    Although I'd guess that they'll try and appoint to both roles from the one round of interviews.

    He fancied a change as we all do now and then.

    We tend to fancy it a lot less in a recession

    The new head of comms, due to start at the beginning of February, is from a marketing background, it seems. She doesn't have football or substantial related editorial experience, as far as I understand from multiple sources.

    Let's not make an issue out of her being a woman, though. We've had some excellent women press officers at Charlton and I'm sure one of them would have made a good head of comms (and might take offence if I imply otherwise).
  • Has she worked in the UK before.

    If she has no editorial experience is this another indicator that the club will be cancelling the matchday programme next season?

    I hope she has the ability to refrain from answering emails and to treat all customers with equal disdain. And also to be able to say "I'm sorry, Katrien has had to go out on urgent business so your meeting is cancelled ... she'll get back to you" in eight languages.

    I wonder what she is thinking now. We were told at Meire’s PowerPoint meeting that she would start in Feb. Since then including the Power Point itself, there have been all number of PR gaffs, Dublin being a classic, culminating in a car park full of protesters and Minty’s effort in the Standard. She must have followed events, would she have handled things differently. Is she still looking forward to starting?

    Ohhh... that's a very good question.

    Or did she start early, and make contributions while not yet officially in post?

    If she's started already then she isn't doing too well; unless you mean by this weeks releases?

    Understand they've got an interim from the PL advising them.

    Wait.. seriously, or jokingly?

    Am I right in saying that at the moment we have:

    - an "Interim Head Coach"
    - an "Interim Head Scout"
    - an "Interim Head of Communications"
