Has she split up with Morgan Fox then?1

I think I've gone off this Aussie consortium now if Herod's involved.JamesSeed said:
No. Just occasional texts re anything other than the takeover.soapboxsam said:
Question.JamesSeed said:Just had a text from GM. He’s told me he’s no longer going to be CEO when the sale is completed (within the next two weeks, after a couple of hurdles have been cleared) but has poached an excellent replacement from some northern club.
Are the Jimmy and Gerald phone calls still happening or has Gerald gone ex-directory because of embarrassment ?
(PS It’s Gerard, pronounced to rhyme with Herod)
I can't see the Academy attracting too many kids in the future and then where will the club get its players from?4 -

Writing big fat cheques is the very last thing Roland wants to do. Why would he go back to bunging her 400k (allegedly) a year just for her to spend on new shoes? Charlton runs a lot better with nobody running it (still cack, but it's all relative!) Roland got a real bargain when she betrayed his patronage and quit.cafc_harry said:
Maybe uncle Roly will come calling with a nice big cheque but otherwise I don’t see why she’d want to come back now more than ever with the media attention we’ve been having. No matter what your view on her is being associated with Roland is toxic to anyone’s career, let alone twice.Mendonca In Asdas said:It would be meltdown on here if she did come back to Charlton, not sure i could say we've got our charlton back!0 -
Makes you wonder if the takeover was made up a year ago to get her off the books by jumping ship, nothing would surprise me in Rolands world.Missed It said:

Isnt there a massive focus in most industries at the moment to progress the careers of women, particularly at Board / Senior Management level? KM is comfortable with a public profile, huge confidence and the backing of groups such as Women In Football to maintain and enhance her profile while there are so few women currently in those senior roles.Fortune 82nd Minute said:
Don't be so sure.AFKABartram said:Sadly, she will do just fine.
During our working lives, we will all (unfortunately) come across lots of people like Meire - basically talentless but good at playing the system. They flit from job to job, always getting out of the last job before the shit hits the fan. Eventually they get found out and disappear. It's often just a question of how long that takes
She was an unmitigated disaster with us, but that does not necessarily mean she was also a disaster over the last year at Sheffield W. General consensus seems to be she wasn’t.
I’m pretty confident her next move will again prove decent for her.0 - Sponsored links:

Don't know about the consensus, but she's left the job after 13 months. Not a great sign, unless she's got a better one already.AFKABartram said:

Peter Scudamore would be better than MeireHenry Irving said:Have the Premier League found a replacement for Richard Scudamore yet?The FA or the Premier League deserve someone of Meire's qualities. Relatively young, a women and being from another country would really the world how progressive our football rulers are.
Within a short period of time I'm sure she would be able to drive down turnover and viewing figures. It might even do football some good to have a huge disaster of ex CEO employed in an important role running amok.

That, without any sense of irony or bitterness would be the perfect match, fan sofa, matchday DJs, they would lap it up, plus she can oversee their long overdue re-brand,tom- k said:Please go to Palace, please go to Palace, please go to Palace 👍🏼
I can almost hear the Holmesdale Fanatics already... 'introducing our CEO Katrien....MEIRE...Katrien MEIRE oh ay oh ah ooo ooo and such continental type stuff.9 - Sponsored links:

She's taking over from Sol Campbell as manager at Macclesfield0

They should give her an open top bus to parade round the city when she goes. Her most successfull reign yet in English football. They'll be drinking her health for decades in the blue part of Sheffield.2

And Keith Harris made reference to her doing badly at SWFC but stopped mid sentence. Maybe he knew she was on her way out but was not public knowledge.9

What is "a bit weird" excuse the pun, is the fact that people are suggesting Steve Bruce told her to f*ck off...so she had to go.
I thought she participated towards the action of getting Steve Bruce in.
She technically would have been his boss?
I guess that is why we had so many piss poor head coaches under her regime at Charlton.
Only the awful and desperate felt just about ok enough to do what she said.0 -
I don't have hard feelings towards her. She was woefully inexperienced for the role and that is because Roland wanted a yes woman. How could she be anything else? That isn't to say she wasn't a disaster, she was, but so would any young person who knew nothing about english football but thought they did. I was surprised Wednesday offered her a job in all honesty!1
