Jeez... what a read, What hopes and what a load o shite.
Apparently I lolled you, I don't remember that! Suspect fat fingers on an iPad did it.
Although I agreed with the sentiment, I think I'll keep it there for the "someone who appears to be a very capable individual who is working hard to improve the fortunes of CAFC" bit.
If only we all knew... Depressing really, there was a point where things could've been completely different. Makes the mind boggle as to how she's fucked up so spectacularly in every aspect of her role.
Have they come up with a new title for her job yet?
It is always a silly one. A title should indicate what you do in the job.
this is the sporting director, this is the stays at home and reads a lot dirctor, this is the self abuse ex director.....
I think I was onto something here. Obviously sporting director was not good enough for her and I was suggesting the title should describe the job. Beginning to giggle already at the suggestions that we may come up with for a title that describes her job!
I only found this thread the other day. I must have somehow missed it at the time. Perhaps I had more of a life then!
But 2 things I took away from this.
1) the Utter stupidity of them to call her the sporting director.
2) that the idea, as suggested by Roland, that we aware protesting because we have a woman CEO is frankly stupid. Most people were very happy we were being progressive and appointed a young female professional to the board. Take not Duchatelet we are protesting because she is incompetent. Her gender plays no part in this!

Appearances can be deceptive.
I'm sure I won't be the last sad old git to fooled by her enigmatic smile.
On that note, although I consider my victim was more Slater than Katrien, I did let the surrealist part of my nature run away with me a little by suggesting that they could be one and the same person (has anyone seen them in the same room?) Whoops I'm doing it again!
Enough now. Katrien's background (City and international firms on her cv) suggest that she is potentially very capable of doing the job.
If she proves herself unable subsequently then any criticism on my part will be because of that and not her sex.
I'm the father of 3 daughters all of whom have been encouraged to reach out and strive for what they can.
(Could it be Slater in drag?)
I hereby reiterate my criticism of Meire is because of her general incompetence rather than gender grounds.
In my opinion if she possessed a beard and a geordie accent nobody would bat an eyelid about the criticism she has received.

One word. Dishevelled
I dont want to sound like an old maid but can we do away this sort of thing? Id cringe if she read it.
Agreed - and undeserving of someone who appears to be a very capable individual who is working hard to improve the fortunes of CAFC.
Nice one lads.

Go on. You know you want to!
Take a bow @carly burn

Brings a new meaning to the phrase jail bait.
