Except it wasn't, and it was eyewitnessed as being RD's statement.Dazzler21 said:Just another highlight for me:

I am certain it was written by Meire, probably with Roland's approval. It reads exactly as she speaks.Chizz said:
Hey @Dazzler21 what makes you certain it was not written by him? As other posters have said, there's good evidence that it was, so it would be interesting to know why you suggest he didn't. Do you have some inside knowledge to spill?Dazzler21 said:(ed. this time Roland Rant and it's a cracker)
Is this insinuating Roland wrote it because I'm certain he did not.
I do not think he would be going over and over the 'weird' point.
It's all a bit weird.Katrien Meire said:It was drafted by the senior management team and Mr Duchatalet had his input.
Thanks for proving me right.0 -
Strikes me if nothing else there's entertainment value.Mametz said:I fail to see any point whatsoever in these meetings. We know that the higher echelons of the club are staffed by lying incompents. Neither Katrien or, more importantly, Roland are going to change or be swayed by reason. These meetings allow them to say them to say that the club meets fans and listens to them. We should operate a policy of no cooperation and no discussion at all with this bunch of scum.

the last thing she wants is someone who understands and cares about the club giving her advicecafc999 said:After going over those minutes again it appears that the rumour that I heard a few weeks ago is true regarding the make up of the SMT. If we cast our mind back over the past several years, club stalwart Mick Everett appears to not be on that list anymore - despite him being on it under Peter Varney's tenure.
Maybe Tony the Testicle is trying to force out even more people and could he even have an eye on the CEO's position, especially after keep giving KM bad advice.......

Tony Bollock has made sure he's not there.
He talks to 'the enemy' after all1 -
To my knowledge Mick Everett has sat on the SMT under Peter Varney, Steve Waggott, Steve Kavanagh and even the wonderful triumvate led by Prothero, he is vastly experienced in all aspects of the running of the club and fully understands the supporters of the club and their unique ( not weird ) relationship with their club.
If he no longer sits on the SMT it may well explain an awful lot as to how the club is currently running especially in the way that the fans are being marginalised.17 -
She has responded so positively that it makes me think they really are selling and will say anything to keep us at arms length.
"Business as normal" seems to be the message with the added reassurance that the SMT have learned from their mistakes (where have I heard that before?) and will improve. The future is bright, the future is................the same.
This is so depressing. I can't see any hope for us in League 1 with these jokers still onboard. Roland will continue to operate on a shoestring budget and continue to believe every word Daisy tells him so that she keeps her cushy job.
A dangerous gamble for a boss to take is to give a manager full control over part of the business empire and trust them so implicitly that no rigorous checks are in place to capture their actual performance. I mean, things could go horribly wrong couldn't they?
Caution:- There are devious people out there who would take full advantage of that senario.1 -
The first change, should have been her out!.Red_in_SE8 said:The line that leaps out for me is 'The owner assessed the season last week and changes will be made'.
I am assuming she gave a very long winded waffling answer which the minute taker could not follow so summarised it with that line
I would think most of our budget, goes on paying up player contracts of the complete rubbish, that those bloody idiots sent us.0 -

Assessed the season.
A recent assessment of the state of play resulted in the owner telling us that fans want the club to fail.
I am not holding out much hope for the assessment of the season.0 - Sponsored links:

It's gone beyond the joke and now and I feel it pointless to quote her on all the crap she says.
Her true intentions are a mystery but every time she speaks she's digging a bigger hole for herself in terms of lies and the fans perception of her.
She's obviously still being overly cautious and attempting to shut everything and every accusation down. It's lies and cover up. The swift quick easy thing to do rather than be honest.
Also being overly cautious in the sense by saying that she doesn't want to raise expectations. I don't know if she prepared that answer at home or if she's just stupid on the spot and got a bit nervous or if she really doesn't care if many season tickets are being sold or...
if Roland has told her "We won't be pushing for promotion next season".
^ It, I am sure, is that one.
At least to Meires credit she knows we won't get promoted so is in fact giving everyone a bit of a general warning that we will not be making promotion a priority. Don't waste your time thinking we will be back in the championship next season. We will just be sitting in league one for quite some time.
To be honest I don't think even if she sold the idea that we was going all out to get back in the championship, that it would make any difference whatsoever on Season ticket sales.

Noticeable by his absence - particularly as he was 'compere' at the last FF.garfield said:To my knowledge Mick Everett has sat on the SMT under Peter Varney, Steve Waggott, Steve Kavanagh and even the wonderful triumvate led by Prothero, he is vastly experienced in all aspects of the running of the club and fully understands the supporters of the club and their unique ( not weird ) relationship with their club.

Little tweak of the now famous "lie in a minute" chant. "Lies in the minutes, there's lies in the minutes"30

The top 6 budget is what interests me.
current attendance levels will get us into the top 6 but not sure that will be the case next year. I suspect some of our running costs are higher and we aren't great on the corporate side.
Maybe old 'huh' is going to make a cash equity injection rather than a loan...... Yer right.2 -

I felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing that last w/e fans knocked on her parents door, now I hope they find her siblings, cousins and extended family to pass the KM story onto.2

I am left with the impression she simply makes things up as she goes along. Some of the answers sound plausible unless you look at what has been happening. We have to make her role at the club impossible.

Christ Almighty, she's idle. Worse even than me.PragueAddick said:KM in minutes, re OS:
I’m obviously unhappy about the West Ham story because as a former lawyer specialized in that field it looks from the outset that there’s an argument for illegal state aid. But the harm is done, they’re moving in. So the only solution is try to make them pay a higher rental fee
On 16 May 2014, at Richard Murray's suggestion, CAST sent a document to KM outlining the full details of the State Aid complaint, which I initially raised out of curiosity, but became a full scale exercise supported by Wyn Grant and Chris Cheetham (@Mundell Fleming). All of the LLDC responses to the EC were included. Mindful both of her background, and of the nervousness of clubs to be seen to pick fights with each other, the document observes:
We believe this is an example of an action which the Trust can take, which supports the Club’s interests, but which the Club might hesitate to take.
No reply was ever received from her to this document
On 28th September 2014, again at Richard Murray's suggestion we sent a further document which outlined the final verdict of the EC regarding our complaint. In the Executive Summary we wrote
Having carefully considered the responses, we have to reluctantly conclude that the Trust cannot respond further in a way which is likely to impress the EC, for two reasons:
2.1 It is likely that a lawyer experienced in EC competition law would be needed to review the response, and we do not have access to such a person
No reply was ever received from her to this document , either.9 -
Having just read those minutes through I am bereft of words, never, ever have I come across such a complete group of incompetent baffoons...there really is no option to selling up, and soon!3

Didn't the relegation statement last week say we are going all out for promotion? I'm confused.....1

KM said that the Olympic Park should be a ground-share between WHU and another club (not Charlton).
For me, this is a clear indication that RD wants us to share with WHU.4 -

Don't worry, it's impossible. No other football club can in reality share with West Ham, the contract has seen to that. The Coalition will shortly make that clear.Valiantphil said:KM said that the Olympic Park should be a ground-share between WHU and another club (not Charlton).

It is really saying something when you don't want to raise expectations from what currently is an entirely negative position! You would have thought raising expectations ought to be a priority right now!3

Expectations?!?! We are Charlton Athletic - not Mansfield fucking Town.

Except they want us to be like Mansfield Town so the football world ignores what they're doing to us.Missed It said:Expectations?!?! We are Charlton Athletic - not Mansfield fucking Town.
