On a serious note I do hope this is genuine and that he isnt in trouble because some of the quotes are good to read:
We still believe our squad will be fine when everybody is back from injury and we have to try and manage that.
Although this is a bit of a question mark...
This time the answer needs to come from the players
Does this mean confirmation that the players went to KM last year when they weren't happy with Bob Peeters which ultimately got him the sack and that they're being told this year that they do have to get on with the job rather than whinging if they want to consider it.
“Last year I knew what was wrong,” said Meire. “This time the answer needs to come from the players - I’m sure it will.
I was under the impression that we had exactly the same problem this year as last year - a paper thin squad unable to cope with injuries and suspensions.
And again why isn't this on the club's own website?
There have been a few articles though that have appeared on a different site before going on to the O/S though.
I guess the SLP / News Shopper dont have to worry about creating a Programme etc. so they've got more time to add this over someone like Olly who is going to take a bit longer to add it on the website.
The problem with a thin squad is that when a few key players come back, other key players will get injured. All of your players become key as they are difficult to replace.
Above is the thread to her programme notes last January at the Brighton home game. As we know Peeters got the sack the following day and 20 interviews took place in between Songs of Praise and Antiques Roadshow.
Part of her notes in January was the following
"We need to get back to winning ways and everyone at the club from the top down would agree with that. However, it is important to stay calm and not carried away by one rocky patch"
Pretty much what she is saying now and we know what happened next. I do hope she is true to what she has told the SLP today. Another head coach/manager so soon again is not the answer imo.

But it generally doesn't go onto the club's website at all. News Shopper, SLP, Rich Cawley's Twitter account, the Sevenoaks Chronicle and the Jerusalem Post are now the go-to places for anything interesting about Charlton, our OS is only good for post-match interviews with Guy and a bit of ticket news (not a criticism of Olly and co, they publish what they're told to).

Is that any different with any club now though?
i.e. You never go on to the club website for rumours of potential signings etc... as that would be disrespectful to the othe party

We're not talking about transfer rumours but about regular interviews on important club matters appearing elsewhere than on the club's on media. At worse it might drive hits and so revenue, at best it reaches more fans.
Or is it that using the SLP is deniable and not official. Or maybe RD doesn't read the SLP.
"This time the answer needs to come from the players"
I think she is right in this. The effort of some of the players has been pretty lacklustre so yes they do need to step up. I'm not hearing any issues between players and manager (though I'm bound to be corrected), but confidence is at a low. Some key players back from injury or a lucky win would give us a big boost.
The problem with a thin squad is that when a few key players come back, other key players will get injured. All of your players become key as they are difficult to replace.
We have been slightly unlucky though, in that the injuries have been concentrated on key areas, especially up top. To have 3 strikers out (Mak, Igor and Reza) would affect most teams. Liverpool for example had 3 strikers out on Saturday (Sturridge, Benteke and Ings) and looked similarly lightweight up front

You're correct to a certain extent in relation to transfer rumours. However, much of the stuff that News Shopper, Cawley and the SLP gets comes from within the club and is released deliberately, rather than a whisper from an agent or an unofficial tip-off from an anonymous source connected to the player or the buying or selling club. And what about the serialised interview with Katrien that the News Shopper published recently? Considering that one of the main criticisms of RD and KM is their failure to communicate with supporters, why not score some easy points by sticking it on the OS?!
I believe without any clue being passed to me, that Johnny Jackson will soon be officially recognised as an appointed member of the coaching team. To me its a no-brainer, and the sooner the better.
More lies then. When the inevitable happens we’ll be fed more mistruths about Fraeye’s appointment then she’ll suggest we like it or lump it. I’ll lump it, thanks.
It’s okay though, because she has a lovely smile and is really friendly to any old people and children she meets.
This means "we are not going to sack him after the Preston game - it will be after the Brentford game if we don't get a win this week.
It's a phrase I dislike but I think GL has "lost the dressing room".
Looking at our players pre-match at Reading, something wasn't right, and we went on to play some crazy tactics to try and waste 90 minutes.
We were truly awful, no shot on goal for 40 minutes, one corner (that I can remember), attacking free-kicks played back to the centre circle and then onto the keeper.
Hendo and Watt fit for selection - but not starting ?
Add this to:
Jacko's mysterious late injury before the Cup game Kashi out injured for us - but not for his country Bolton talking about loaning Igor when we are short of players ourselves and he is injured anyway. Loaning a lightweight player from Everton when we have fair players of our own out on loan.

Gone by tomorrow afternoon in that case. Best of luck to Luzon at Alcoron.
It was nice seeing Dana...

Yes, Olly is busy but so are the SLP journos. They have lots of clubs to cover and a twice weekly paper to fill.
Maybe if KM filled the vacant head of Comms role.......
See ya

Getting expensive this, will all the comings and goings. He's not been here that long!

Something is not right behind the scenes.
