It would appear that you see this site and the efforts of the Charlton Athletic's Supporters Trust as being counter productive and against everything that you and Roland want to achieve.
I can promise you that this is not the case. We all want to see the same outcome. A successful football Club challenging the 'big boys' of English football, whilst retaining the Community Spirit of what a football club can and does bring to the locality and beyond.
I truly believe that I and a lot of other fans appreciate how you are trying to bring this success to our Club for all of us.
We know you and our owner have made mistakes in the past and are happy to accept that as part of the 'learning process'. I am willing to accept similar errors of judgment in the future, If they are made in an effort to progress the Club for the benefit of all.
Please, please register on here and talk to us. I promise you, that you will genuinely be accepted and will have a vast legion of people who want to assist you and the owner in bringing success and a 'profitable' future for all.
This is the one Club in the Network than can deliver enormous success for the owner. With the supporters behind you the sky is the limit. If you ignore what this group of supporters are attempting to do to achieve the same aims as you and the owner then you are doing nothing but heading for failure.
We understand issues like financial constraints, we are realistic about our place in the football hierarchy, but we can also see that with the right investment and involvement of dedicated and knowledgeable fans, we can achieve so much more.
We've proved it before and we can prove it again. Richard Murray realised this, speak to him.
Work with us. Trust us. We all want the same outcome and we are realistic about what is possible.
We also understand that sometimes you have to say 'no'. Again we understand and accept this. But be open and transparent about this and people will accept the decision.
Sure, there will be arguments and dissatisfaction along the way, but involve the power of the supporters of this unique club and you will see more positives than negatives.

People in glass houses..
Would she sign-up though? I doubt it; although that's not to say the feedback from here isn't taken on board. Just that it's very much a one way dialogue.
The positive spirit that she might do that is good.
She has not done anything that bad to have to keep explaining herself.
Myself, a previous disillusioned fan under the network (check my threads you will see), eventually got over it and just saw it for what it was. Certainly not the end of the world.
Positives:
1. Strangely, all the managers RD has brought to the club eventually won the Charlton faithful over one way or another. Riga, Peeters, Luzon are not that bad of coaches and certainly showing/showed positive aspects of good results/performances.
Not all great but not all that bad either.
2. The network of players, cor, we've had some shockers. The flip side is that we have easier access to players that could strengthen our squad.
Tony Watt being the most relevant and highlighted player in this instance.
3. We are financially secure. At least safe and sound.
Then there is a heap of negatives that we can reflect on but it's not about that anymore.
The man is not looking for approval and his methods are not going to change.
There is nothing we can do, so listen to oasis and roll with it.
She has all the anwers and knows how to run a football club. After all surely only a mad man would employ a CEO without a complete understanding of a football club.
Sometimes you have to put your hands up and say 'I got that wrong, now how can we square things up and move forward?'' She'd be thought a lot more of for it.
The only problem is that Meire does not look at her email account too often!
So I think people can make valid judgements.
You only have to attend meetings & listen to her talk, to gain a very good impression.
A bit like a David Cameron or David Milliband interview as opposed to the leader of The Greens interview.
I think people can make a fair assesment on competence by entering into or listening to discussions/meetings and the way things are run, such as no programme sellers and the like.

Roland, Luzon and Katrien fuck off out of our club.
