If so she's been on the sauce again.ValleyMick said:Don't believe that it's the result of hacking. If someone has gone to the trouble of hacking the site, the content would be more extreme. Hard to believe, but this could well have come from KM herself.

It's not fake. I'm in the press box at a Charlton U21 game and watched it get published #cafc
It seriously looked like a drunk fan has hacked the website, I'm gobsmacked.7 -
My source told me on Saturday that Meire on several occasions had to be told that what she wanted to put on the club website would only antagonise supporters. On each occasion she reluctantly agreed. This time, it seems that she has ignored wiser counsel and just gone ahead. We must take this statement as a firm indication she and Duchatelet have completely lost it.35

Well done - was just about to do the same.Yanntheman said:The text, in case it's taken down:
Dear Fans,
Last Sunday, some individuals did not come to The Valley to watch the game and support the team, but came to create disorder on the pitch and interfere with the players and the game. Disorder which is, allegedly, needed to drive change in ownership and management.
Whom would they expect the club to be sold to? How long would a sales process take? Is it easier to sell the club when it is in League One rather than Championship?
Some individuals seem to want the club to fail. This is a confused approach, since following this logic leads to exactly the opposite of what we all want: staying in the Championship.
Allegations regarding the CEO are misrepresented* and are continuously used as a method to discredit and fuel personal abuse, hatred and with a risk to personal safety.
Although certain individuals tell you it does not happen, in recent weeks Roland Duchatelet has met the fans, the CEO has met with several different groups of fans and the communications team have attended several fans meetings. We will continue these meetings and constructive dialogue with fans.
We have 9 games left in which we have to get 6 points more than our competitors.
The team just got 7 points out of 3 games.
We still have the chance to make it happen with the support of the fans until the very last game. We must believe it is still possible. Every football fan knows the 12th man is a crucial factor in the success on the pitch.
*I think the difference is also because fans don't see themselves as customers and {…} they go to the restaurants with their families every week and they go to the cinema but if they aren't satisfied with the product will they go and scream to the people in charge of it? No they don't, but they do it with a football club and that's very weird (meaning unique) because they feel a sense of ownership of a football club and that's a really difficult balance of how you try and engage with fans and make them, incorporated into some of the decisions of the club, {…}.

They must've hacked the site, it isn't written well at all0

Some people came to the game eh Roland?
At least they go, unlike you that is5 -
Sounds as though Roland's on his second crate of Stella.
Ha ha!17 -
Oh dear looks like the Oak has sold out of beer again. But always a mistake to go back to work after a skinful.6

This needs to be forwarded onto sky asap, they will run with this after what happened VS Boro.
Im in shock, i really am13 -
Words fail me.
I need to find some to either:
Heap praise on the individual who has hacked the website and produced this or;
Find further superlatives that have probably not been invented yet to confirm my absolute hatred for this man.

I'm beginning to love this.
It's turned into the battle of the statements.
Go on CARD write one back beginning...Dear Pants On Fire,24 -
The bit at the end.
At the last FF meeting Katrien was eager to say she had either been misquoted, or a quote taken out of context in describing the fans as 'weird'. Katrien had with her the whole quote written out verbatim, as it is on this statement, and she wanted to read it out to prove a point.
It looks to me that this has been obsessing her for whatever reason, and it is tagged on to this statement possibly as a way of initially convincing Roland how unfairly she has been portrayed, and also convincing the world.
It also looks to me that maybe (just maybe) the regime collectively still think the whole issue is about respecting the fans, and communication with the fans.
It also also looks to me a way of setting up the fans to take the blame for the failure, because Roland doesn't do failure, Alan Turing was misunderstood, Katrien is misrepresented, and basically nasty fans are spoiling the experiment.

Absolutely gobsmacked.
Any 'fan' thinking of renewing their ST needs to read that and wonder if they consider themselves to be a valued customer after that.
If you renew, you are agreeing that is an acceptable way to be treated as a football fan. No complaints.8 -
Roland's "Let's be 'avin' you" moment!33

We're definitely winning.7

It's written like a child because she is one .One spoilt little brat.11

Someone needs to send that to the FA. If and when they do their investigation into the events last Sunday, it can be highlighted that our owner is a fruit loop and does not fit the criteria to run a football club.19

I would imagine, she'd be writing out her resignation about now..AFKABartram said:You have to ask, what the hell is the so called Head of Communications doing????

She's gone home today, had a bottle of wine, started feeling sorry for herself drank a few more bottles and lost the plot.
Reading it again it really sounds like a pissed up woman who has lost the plot.20 -
Im worried for our club, the damage this is doing.

I honestly think Meire has downed two bottles of Shiraz dropped some acid and "come out fighting"16

Dictionary definition of "weird" - uncanny, eerie, unnatural, preternatural, supernatural, unearthly, other-worldly, unreal, ghostly, mysterious, mystifying, strange, abnormal, unusual; eldritch; informalcreepy, spooky, freaky;
Sorry, Roly weird does not mean "unique" it means something that should not be.
This has been all done to death, but the words understood at the end of the quotes that put everything into context are "because, weirdly, fans don't see themselves as customers"3 -
Astonishing stuff. Let's just take this statement: "in recent weeks Roland Duchatelet has met the fans".
Simple question: who were they then?57 -
This is a Roland statement.4

I can assure you it is 2, and is a massive example of everything that is wrong in the Club. Professionals do not do their jobs and everything is dictated (literally in this case) from Belgium.LoOkOuT said:Two scenarios:
1. It's the work of someone who has unauthorised access to the site backend and was able to post a "fake" article.
2. It's a draft that Roland and/or Katrien has pushed through despite, I would expect, internal pressure not to. That article certainly isn't "polished".
Unbelievable Geoff!
Absolutely nothing has been learnt, and nothing has been changed.
This surely can't go on, can it ?
