The way things are going CARD should organise the creation of a memorial for all those who have laid down their jobs in the Great War (against Roland Duchatelet)...
A wreath laying ceremony at the final home game, that sort of thing.
(Obviously not seeking to be disrespectful to anyone other than certain Belgians).
Having met and heard what Mel had to say, at the Bromley meeting, I believe she wanted to make things work and understood the importance of listening to fans. It wasn't a good career move for her and best wishes for the future.
Somebody brought to the club by this regime that has integrity and a moral compass, good on you Mel and I hope your career isn't harmed by your dalliance with CAFC.
KM: Erm Roland, Mel has just resigned. RD: Who's Mel KM: You know the lass we hired as Head of Comms at Charlton RD: Pfft, dont need her anyway, I'll take it on, piss easy job anyway after Monday night KM: Mel Mel... Come back, we'll do it your way, I promise to lay off the Smirnoff, I'll attend AA meetings I'll do anything!!
I spoke to Mel after The Bromley Supporters meeting ended on February 25th.
I explained that the attendees had been ever so nice and didn't really reflect the mood of the majority of supporters. I offered my opinion, that she could be the best Communications Manager in the world and still wouldn't be able to succeed, with RD & KM at the helm.
I met her again by invitation, 2 days later in The MIllenium Lounge, to "finish" our conversation.
Sorry guys, it looks like she has heeded my advice, after Roland no doubt ignored her/ her advice.
All the best to Mel. She seemed like a pleasant and efficient type, so she was never going to last.
So what you're saying is....
The only time a senior member of staff has listened to a fan in the last 2 years she's only been there a couple of weeks, and the advice she listened too was to resign?!
Fair play to her for giving you the opportunity of a second meeting though, a very decent courtesy when she must've already been aware of how the conversation was likely to end. Her attitude seemed spot on.
In fairness Sue Parkes kind of highjacked the conversation & Chris invited me to The Millenium Lounge.
(Possibly, he did it to get rid of me, assuming I'd decline).
Ah sue Parkes. Not seen any quotes from her of late.

Good luck to her. Hope she finds a new gig soon.
Zero rights pretty much
For those calling for her to 'spill the beans' then think on this - her dignity and professionalism would be badly dented if she did that.
It wasn't a good career move for her and best wishes for the future.
Hope she gets snapped up quick by someone more deserving.
She's obviously a principled person.

Though, obviously, my looks and personality wouldn't have helped either.
PS Well done Mel, much respect.
Up yours Douchbag and Nightmeire!
Reckon I could do Comms and Safety at the same time as kicking the ball back when it goes down the tunnel
