Looking at this thread there could be 100 different questions asked or issues raised.
Clearly it would be impossible to ask or say everything folk want asked or said. There are similarities between all the points made, and in order to have a productive meeting all the various questions need to be collapsed into fewer yet more generic questions that try to cover the majority of concerns. Those fewer questions then need prioritising.
I am sure that is what will happen in order to make best use of the meeting, although I anticipate criticism anyway from people who feel their priority has not been highlighted.
Anyway, the real issue is less the questions asked and the points raised, but more the responses, and even more than that the actions taken afterwards.
Clearly rikofold has done the heavy lifting for this event, and obviously pleasing everybody is an impossible task, but I am hopeful tonight's event will be 'on point'.
I'm not confident this meeting will shed any further light on anything to be honest. KM will be her usual vague and rude self and will refuse to or won't be allowed to answer any serous questions. As someone on here mentioned previously, I wouldn't be surprised if they wheel out a player or two or even Fraeye or Euell to deflect criticism. If that happens those in attendance need to keep the focus on KM.
By what date do you hope to have a permanent manager appointed ?
How, and when, will you improve the squad to avoid relegation this season ?
The Belgian answers will be:
As soon as possible
That is up to the permanent manager
It should be the shortest meeting ever recorded, but will be padded out to 2 hours.
Why haven't you learned lessons from the last two seasons when you've let key players go and not replaced them, leading to yet another avoidable relegation battle?
Reading the other thread about Richard Murray I was reminded of the apparent fall out between Him and Curbs when Curbs left the club. So, a question I would like to see asked - Is Richard Murray's position and influence on the board the sole reason that the club have not approached Alan Curbishley about returning as manager?
Could Richard elaborate on the reasons that made Charlton such a successful club during the nineties/noughties and where does he see differences on how the club is run now compared to then.
KM and RM, good luck ladies and gentlemen - they're both as bad as each other when put under pressure. One will laugh at you and the other will get loud and try to shoot you down as if your question is nonsical . My advice, if they don't answer your question - ask them to again.
Ask KM what her interview process is for a new head coach, then try take her seriously.

I don't have much faith in it either to be perfectly honest. My fear is that Saturday's result will be used as a shield to deflect criticism and as an example of how the club made the right decision appointing KF and how rosy everything is going to be from now on. I hope I'm wrong.

Great question.
I think the main answer is that we got lucky in that A.C turned out to be a great appointment. The boards managerial appointments after that were no better than the current regime.
Just one question from me. And it's under the assumption that the five- ten- or twenty-year plan isn't going to be shared in full.
Q: Within the multi-year business plan for the club, what assumptions have been made about the division that the team will be playing in, at the start of each of the next 5, 10 or 20 years?
(In other words, how soon do they intend the team to be in the premiership; and how far off-course would a relegation take the club, from the plan?)

I'm heading off for the meeting now. This question is a great one, but it will have a predictable answer - we plan to be competitive, we want to be in the Premier League but if we said we want to do it in 3, 5, 10 years you'll hold us to it. So we won't.
I hope somebody asks what Kat and Roland have against British players/managers/fans before they have a chance to accuse fans of xenophobia for the anti Belgian regime.

What involvement does KM have in relation to the playing sides, transfers and instructions to Head Coach
Where are the scouting team based and what is their background in terms of experience and what systems (software and tangible) do they use?
Dont see any of those questions being unanswerable on a confidentiality or anti-competitive basis.
Would love to know the real answers, that's if the respondents are 100% sure themselves
