What about another possibility? Meire really wants to leave, at least subconsciously, but can't resign and admit failure. So she behaves in a way that would drive any normal boss to sack her. Only problem is she's hitched her wagon to a fool who can't see the obvious. Or can he? Perhaps we've got it all wrong and Duchatelet is punishing Meire by keeping her at The Valley ....Burgundy Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203516889598003723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-13631466106895951202016-05-14T11:14:49.355+01:002016-05-14T11:14:49.355+01:00'You have to ask just what was Meire trying to...'You have to ask just what was Meire trying to achieve yesterday'- a good question BA. Her latest rant was yet another addition to the list of statements and outbursts that can only be interpreted as deliberate attempts to create an unbridgeable chasm between the regime and the fans. It's always difficult to understand intentionality but she is a lawyer and should know exactly the power of the words that she uses and their effects so in my view, having considered the evidence objectively (I have done jury service three times!)she is guilty of implementing a purposeful strategy designed both to alienate and discredit a large proportion of the current fan-base and present herself as the victim in the sorry mess that CAFC has become under this regime. This might seem a bizarre assessment as such a strategy should have no place in the thinking of those charged with managing and developing the well-being of a football club but what else can be concluded when there is a discernible consistency to the inflammatory nature of her language directed against supporters. <br /> Terry Ryallhttp://www.terryryall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-32713060823100125112016-05-13T20:55:44.331+01:002016-05-13T20:55:44.331+01:00Thanks BA for this and all the posts.

It's def that now. <br />I'm cross because I have to decide whether to renew and offend my principles but see more of my dad and sons, or lose that pleasure for who knows how long. And let's be clear its not the incompetence, though she is clearly that, but their contempt for us. I'm not a lawyer but I've worked with them. They think the law is about all that matter and don't know the difference between being clever and wise. Despite being cross I hope KM learns the difference and gets a job more suited to her. For her sake and ours.

I get the impression that she does not tell the whole story to RD just the points that reflect well on her. My reason for this is his rant just before the Leeds game when he probably found out exactly the extent of the unrest as opposed to "the 2%" Throughout all her interviews and articles it strikes me she is seeking approval of what she is doing as she has no idea how to run a business. Imposing her personal preferences rather than standard business practice of identifying her core product(The actual game of football), and then trying to improve that product. Other principles are never reduce your prices but try to improve the product, lowering your prices is an admission you have a cheap product, alternatively find a differential advantage over your competitors. Valley express is a good example, ask Gillingham. As supporters, when we were in the premier league, at the beginning of the season we assess the other teams to see if there are three worse than us or where can we get 40 points from. Same in the championship only it is 50 points. Curbs and Keith Peacock are on record as to that is what they did. I think that us fans realised about Christmas that we would not get the required 50 points and that is when the protests started. The reason I feel is that the attitude was we play this way and we wont change as opposed to what are the oppositions weaknesses and strengths. Anyway I could go on just wanted to put my point of view.

However, the only aspect of the protest that worries me is the 'slapper/bitch/witch' stuff (squirrel face is good!) which all distracts from the fundamental truth as expressed in the sheet dropped over the directors' box against Burnley. Although in terms of both politics and my perception of her personality I don't like Karren Brady, she's as affective a CE in football as any man and better than most.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-44340702039905982662016-05-13T15:30:37.447+01:002016-05-13T15:30:37.447+01:00Another excellent post BA
The problem with Meire ...Another excellent post BA<br /><br />The problem with Meire is that she sees herself as the 'victim'. Like you I'm not a psychiatrist but it seems that she is in denial of her own actions and failings - and, defence being the best form of attack, she now wants to be seen as the 'victim' of those nasty Charlton supporters.<br /><br />It is her actions (and inactions) that have helped bring about the failings at Charlton, supported by the owner who has been more than ready to move on managers whom he deems to have 'failed' - even though they have taken actions dictated by himself and Meire.<br />The one constant in all of this is Meire herself - yet she remains in post, no matter what she gets up to.<br />Her newly appointed Press Officer lasted all of a few weeks before her position was made untenable by the weird public ramblings of the owner and the support of him by Meire. The club have hardly anybody in senior management positions because they have either all left or been pushed out. That fact alone speaks volumes for what is happening under Meire's "leadership". <br /><br />Never in the history of football was somebody so under-qualified given so much power by one individual.<br />IF the 'victim' has been the subject of criminal acts as she claims then she should get the police to investigate and take the appropriate action - which could well lead to M/s Meire being subject to charges of wasting police time!<br /><br />Meanwhile the club continues on its decline....

We shall probably never know, but they both do indeed seem to be driven by the same desire to repeat lies about the fans often enough in the hope that someone will believe them. And Anon, I really think that what keeps her here is that notion that resigning would be admitting failure, which goes against her image of herself. I hope I'm wrong because she is a young woman with one would hope a happy and successful life and career ahead of her and you hope that the old motto of 'you can break us but never bend us' doesn't come into play. <br /><br />But then you have to just laugh or cry at their stupidity. They come in and the message is 'supporters have to accept the way Duchatelet does things, we don't care about the club's history or culture etc'. Now the line is 'we learn from our mistakes, we have had too many managers, we need a manager who will get the players working hard with a good team spirit'. Excuse me, that's what you had when you arrived! I just wish when they came in we had a whip round to send her and Roland off on a 'learn about football' course.

The statement the CEO came out with yesterday, comes after a long line of similar "Blame anyone but me and surrogate daddy" speeches and is generally offensive to the fan base that have been at the forefront of inclusion and tollerance in sport and the comunity as a whole, and just speaks to how out of her depth she is in the role that the esteemed president has foisted upon her.<br /><br />I Cant help but draw parallels between the rant delivered by our venerable CEO and the bareley inteligable drivle delivered by a less than welcome contributer (thanks for saving us reading these BA)<br /><br />In my mind the meessage put forward by both is one and the same, which leads me to question is KM a2c?<br />BigPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607149647603487899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-41239769906059152632016-05-13T12:01:00.573+01:002016-05-13T12:01:00.573+01:00Thanks guys and Dave good to bump into you.

I'd rather be meeting mates for a glass, discussing the game before and after, singing my heart out, looking forward to the DVD and an end-of-season curry, and before long starting to look forward to the season ahead (OK, that's one's not so easy). It's not a path we have chosen, but is one that needs to be followed, to the end.
