Sex on the pitch

It's good to read that I'm not in the minority on this one; it's been mighty lonely being part of the 2%.

Explanation please Seth!

What this actually shows is her inability as a CEO to set a direction and maintain control of her team. The video was "published" without her approval at the time, by the comms team. Subsequently she was happy with the bookings for the pitches, as was Roland.

Expect she was lying.

Just one of many cock up's !!

I thought it crass and something that demeaned our club. I wrote to the commercial manager to say so, too. I never got a reply.

Cheap, tacky and pointless.

Made us a laughing stock.

Laughing stock ? Most people I know thought it was funny

This is my debut post on here although I've been browsing for years. I could have selected any one of the threads about the state of the club today but I'm choosing this one because as a schoolteacher who has brought hundreds of my students to matches over the years, it was this cheap, crass and desperate piece of marketing which first made me question whether I should continue to promote Charlton within my school. Subsequent events have only increased my doubts and it saddens me to say that even though the school trips are one of the highlights of my job, I really don't fancy it as things stand.

I would be interested to know whether anyone has changed their opinion on this video in the light of recent events.

Just another of Meire's imbecilic initiatives. How she can think this was appropriate for a "family" club. I'll never know.

I seriously wonder if there is actually something medically wrong with her.

@Kap10

Actually it was produced and released by the MARKETING team. KM said at Bromley that she knew about the video but not the full content.

The COMMS team had nothing to do with it, knew nothing about it and weren't too happy about being kept in the dark even after it was released.

I don't believe that a video like this would have been released without the senior manager of the club being aware of it. Another lie for me.

She said she WAS aware of video just not that it was so explicit.

She should have had a much closer handle one it and made sure everyone at the club knew. She didn't.

She should have asked how much will this cost and how much extra income will it bring in. She didn't.

She should have stuck to being a lawyer but she didn't.

Point I was making was that it was nothing to do with the comms team.

Wasn't questioning what you said, just what KM said and knew or should have known.

Apologies to the Comms team, over and above that the point I was making is that she has no control over people working for her and their output.

She doesn't understand objectives, KPIs, or cost/benefit as her power point comedy showed.

Agreed........

...................And this is frankly what concerns me about the new head of communications role..... will she have any real authority /independence, or is she just a production assistant, rubber stamping the executive decision. In my opinion she carries the can for this, as she is responsible for communicatio, both 'internal comms' and external.

The photograph below is the one I took of several at that Bromley meeting.......

God I feel old. I have memories of happy days at school with those blunt scissors.

Sounds like a good cocktail to me. Anyone know what's in it ?

Marginal cost outweighed marginal income = poor business.

What was the cost? And what was the revenue for summer pitch hire in 2014 and 2015?

Do you mean the revenue generated as a direct result of this, er, "initiative"?

Yes, marginal income, which is what Airman said was lower than the cost of the video.

Both Airman and Henry have stated this as a fact, but neither have provided the figures on this thread. I'm not sure if figures have been published elsewhere.

I was basing my statement on info from VOTV. I have no inside info as Tony Kehone isn't answering my texts anymore.

Info came from staff with direct knowledge of pitch hire.
