At no point have I made anything about me, I came on this thread to talk about Mel Baroni, and not in judgement either.Henry Irving said:

There are about six assertions in your post, and every one of them is wrong.Henry Irving said:
Stop trying to pretend this is about you being attacked. You conjured up what you thought was an unaswerable question about Millers Hospital to catch the head of Comms out but just made yourself look silly. FACT And you did attack Waggot for smiling too much FACT You were quite proud of it at the time.seth plum said:

I didn't say asking her about closed hospitals in Greenwich was my way of testing her knowledge of Charlton history, you ought to be mindful there that you are putting words into my mouth., and getting it wrong.Henry Irving said:
So asking her about closed hospitals in Greenwich is how you test her knowledge of Charlton history? Your lessons when you were a teacher must have been very "weird". I'm a trustee of the Charlton Athletic Museum and didn't know about the Miller hospital but then it shut in 1974 when I was 13 and plays such a marginal role in our "history" that it is meaningless.seth plum said:
As a way of discovering if she is curious about great moments in Charlton history.alanscoachdriver said:
Why ?seth plum said:
I would ask Mel what she knows about a home match against Huddersfield in the late fifties. (If you're reading this Mel, then you can research it, and find out where the Miller Hospital was located...there's a challenge for you).
What I can confirm is that she has visited the Charlton Athletic museum as many times as you Seth as that's where she was asked if she would come to a Bromley meeting and where she said she would. At that point she'd been in post for two weeks.
Even as a Charlton history buff I don't expect her or other staff to learn 111 years of history in a few days but she has taken an interest. And as she and the head of Marketing said they think a trip to the museum should be part of the induction.
That isn't the criteria she should be judged on though IMHO, there are far more important things for her to know and do that being able to tell us where Derek Ufton went when he dislocated his shoulder. And with luck we'll talk about those other things tonight.
PS The Marketing manager asked me about the Addicks and I explained how it came about and added for good measure "so when the next time someone suggests changing the nickname you'll understand why it is unique and can't be changed" to which she replied "not on my watch".
I said it would be my way of ascertaining her curiosity. Read it back.
Why have you extrapolated from what I wrote anything about my working life?
Surely it isn't like you Henry to take umbrage, and instead of concentrating on the matter in hand, to plunge into the personal?
Fact is you constructed a weird fantasy situation that you thought would somehow show the Head of Comms in a bad light while at the same time demonstrating your archane knowledge.
Just weird. Enjoy your Stevie Wonder in Havet tonight.
Can you back your fact up with any evidence?
I also did not attack someone for smiling too much, you won't be able to back that up either.
I would've thought a 'history buff' would have been concerned about evidence.
Enjoy Blood Brothers, I'm looking forward to hearing what Mel and Chris have to say before judging them.
I think if you read back you will find that it was you who made it about me by referencing my working life.
Got tp go now. Bye.

Blimey. Just came on here to back up @Chunes summary of what an agency account manager is and isn't capable of. Walked in to find blood everywhere :-)
Anyway, the question I have is, why did Mel take this job, because, and maybe you agree with me @Chunes, it does not look like a career move. In marcomms terms, M&C Saatchi is Premier League whereas we are, well League Two frankly. I'd have expected her, if she was going to the corporate side at all, to be somewhere like Adidas, or say Arsenal. But CAFC? One to listen out for tonight.
Hope it is interesting, looking forward to reports.8 -

Anyway, what is so special about charlton vs Huddersfield in nov 1953 - it was only a 2-1 home win - can't see anything special about the match - have I missed something ??2

Would love to know the real number of people who have said that they were at THAT match vs the attendance - suspect that there would be a differ of some magnitude
Don't worry - I'm not claiming I was there..........I wasn't born..............but my whole extended family was so I claim a connection via 3rd parties !!!!0 -
What is that ?
Looks like Steptoe up against Peter Garland.2 -
Seeing as she is head of comms I would like to know if she realises that the owner's recent interviews were a complete disaster.7

After a few years being in agency, many people see 'going in house' as a big step up, no matter what the role/the company... If I was an acct manager in a sports agency and I was offered the chance to be the client at a well known national club (even on its way down), I'd jump at the chance....whatever happens, it looks good on the CV... Good luck to her (but still think she lacks the experience that we need!)...3

Quite simply, I would like to know why RD is still holding on. He has lost this fight. The fans are against him and want him out - nothing he or his cronies do or say can restore our faith in his regime...we just want him gone.
Surely, this is obvious to anyone? He must know that the gig is up and that his experiment has failed. She must realise this too I would have thought?5 -

Has anyone tabled the Miller hospital question yet. If she answers with a blank expression, flog her with Colin Cameron's big stat book from 1905 - 2004
Sorry Seth ;-)4 -
