  • Can anyone confirm that Katrien is a lawyer? I think she may actually be a barista.

    Couldn't be, Katrien's too ignorant, and a barista might have some notion of customer service...

    No chance, I have attended a lot of business meetings at The Valley and never been offered a coffee once.

    I'm going from feeling dumbstruck to laughing at it to wanting to go down the ground and smash the crap out of him, her and the cronies.

    Just when I think I'm gonna have a productive day at work and not get distracted by Charlton life. Roland goes and throws this little gem out there.

    Mind you, it might explain signing Makienok, with her being asked to get Roly a Danish...

    At least some of the fans think he's powder puff (pastry).

    Sorry.

    It's the statement of someone who doesn't listen to her advisors.

    The statement of someone is so incredibly stubborn because she always knows best and who never believes she is in the wrong.

    She sees the relationship with fans as 'them and us' - it's felt like that since the first time I met her and Roland. I fear it might be the same with the comms team now as well.

    I feel sorry for them

    Is this insinuating Roland wrote it because I'm certain he did not.

    An absolutely extraordinary own goal. Surely this alone would merit serious questioning of the CEO in any sane management structure? To alienate so many of your own "customers" in full public glare at a time when your actions have already helped attract unwanted media attention is mind-blowingly incompetent. Keep up the good work KM - we couldn't have asked for a better response!

    I can't imagine anyone will own up to it. It's bizarre beyond belief.

    Can we bet as to how long til Mel Baroni quits after her CEO ignores her advice about what Mel is actually the expert in?

    Quicker that our Asst Managers?

    These people are playing with a completely different pack of cards to everyone else.

    Worries me that this oddity has been written in good faith and with a thought out purpose.

    They're not rattled they are just fecking in need of some treatment. (Really)

    Sky SSN spoke with Shay Given and Gerry Francis in the studio at 1030 about general unrest within football at present. Gerry took a general neutral stance but understood the need for protesting, providing it is legal; also recognised the importance of fan/club relationship.

    Shay Given thought we went too far with regard to the funeral possession but didn't offer a viable method of protest.

    Are the untrue allegations regarding her Dublin comments or her relationship with Roland an lust for Naby Sarr?

    I think @LouisMend said that it came from Roland, having got some inside info on the matter whilst at Ebbsfleet yesterday.

    I tend to agree with you - it reads like something you'd expect from someone a bit immature and completely out of their depth, I can almost hear Katrien reading it out.

    Maybe Roland's signed it off, I'd be astonished if he drafted it though.

    It is too late to remove it now – they have to ride it out. I think logic tells us that it can only have been written by two people in one of three scenarios. The first is that Roland has written it in a fit of anger, the second is that Katrien has written it or the third is that they both wrote it together or at least had a part in it. It can’t be anybody else as it has clearly bypassed the head of Comms. By the look and sound of it, it has been rushed out – probably when the possibility of points being docked was highlighted. It clearly hasn’t been thought through very well.

    apparently according to Louis Mendez (someone posted his twitter feed on here. gawd knows what page) it is from Roland himself.

    I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for the words used in Dublin but not for the tone of utter disdain.

    Agree with this-the way she referred to fans as "they" throughout that statement showed what she thinks of us. As has her demeanour towards us before Dublin and since. And pretty much ever since she arrived!
    A last desperate attempt to divide fans.

    Ah, but was the wicked witch of the West sitting on his knee dictating it? :open_mouth:

    Good point... I guess RD / KM dont want to see the club being relegated to League One because they do realise that they'll lose a lot of money in the process (Whilst at the same time they'll refuse to change tactics as that too will prove they've been wrong).

    After Sunday they were probably happy with the first Statement they've put out yet have now released this second one because the FA have contacted them, letting them know about their own investigation into what happened Sunday.

    Thats caused RD / KM to panic and worry that a points deduction could follow, if not this time then possible next.

    EDIT: If that is the case then just say that the new Statement is being released because of impending investigations by the FA, the fans arent going to give a toss either way but at least its not going to make them look as stupid as they currently look!!
