    Katrien merie thinks she is Harvey Specter.

    She is a shit lawyer that got bombed out for being lazy. Her privileged access to the industry through her parents fees indicate wealth not intellectual ability. She is thick as two short ones evidenced by her inability to spout a paragraph before she contradicts herself.

    Anyone starting law in 2007 should be thankful of the opportunity and use the access to build a better world. Her excuses are pitiful.

    I'm ranting because I have particular affinity to her competition law field of law and her views expressed on at least seven separate public occasions show she understands not one jot of what a free market is. We talk about FFP and yet Staprix have an atrocious repute and conduct. If katrien merie knows anything about anti-trust and fairness then who the fuk is Jonathan legard? Katrien you are not Maurice Watkins you are a silly posh twat who doesn't have a clue how to wipe your own ass.

    She is employed by a skanky old man who uses her as a human shield, her view of the world seems to be some 1930s throwback when the only way forward for women was to bat their eyelashes at old men or alternatively work three times as hard and do something positive for womens' rights. Any group that faces discrimination realises one way out of it is to work harder than your oppressors.

    She does 20-25 hour weeks at the valley. Posh and privileged lazy waste of space.

    I feel sorry for the education standards in Belgium if she wins any kind of award. Let me guess, roly has just sponsored the universities new


    (Apologies for this diatribe, however we have just been relegated and I am hurting. What makes me mad is a lawyer using gooblydegook bullshit to try and pull the wool over the eyes of the layman. To a lawyer of morality, that's total kryptonite against a super set of Addicks)


    To finish on a high in this time of low, I take huge optimism from just how amateur their set up is. It's a joke, an absolute joke and that we will make it all the easier to take back the club from the thieving, self-serving and morally rupugnant entity that is Staprix holdings.

    I am still trying to understand why Staprix is considered exempt from producing consolidated accountants - I thought the Belgians would be sticklers for the EU group accounts directive requiring the top EU holding company to produce company accounts. Does anyone know why they appear to be exempt from this requirement.
    I'm only guessing but probably because it's a tiny little company that has no staff, no offices other than the registered office, no telephone and no computer.
    But that is not the case on a consolidated basis which is what counts for group accounts.

    So who's running the club while she is away.

    She wasn't running the club whilst she was here. Whilst it is royally taking the piss I doubt anyone will notice her absence.
    I think you're entirely right on the first point, but as with her late arrival on matchdays it sends an awful message to staff, which rest assured they have received loud and clear.
    Surely there are ways for staff to voice their anger at this. Any sign of that happening?
  • And who goes to Dubai for 10 days, ridiculous amount of time to go there for.
  • When the going gets tough the weak just go. On the other hand this may be good news as it is a sign that RD doesn't expect her to be at Charlton to handle the aftermath - surely even RD would expect his CEO's to be around in April.

    Surely if this is true, than I can't think this means anything else other than she has been sacked. Going to Dubai is lawyer speak for gardening leave.
  • At least she will be back in time for the next recorded in full, and then broadcast, fans forum; which is on the 28th (?)
  • One of the things you can note fairly easily when a team is still playing while having lost a game is which players have the right spirit and those who don't. I suspect the period to the end of the season will reveal quite a lot in this regard.

    Yeah, we will keep the defeatists, and sell the triers.

    Yes they speak to Airman Brown - very difficult to ask them to do much more at present when their livelihoods depend on their continued employment - and certainly to a much greater extent than some of the players.
    Yeah I get that. Just frustrating that time and time again she's managed to balls it up and still she remains.

    Just realised this means she won't have any annual leave left in the summer and will still be dealing with the transfers :neutral:

    Knowing our luck, she's on a "working" trip - working on Phase 2 of the master plan.

    Either that, or she has about 70 days leave each year.
  • On the rare occasions when I go on holiday, there is booking up, confirming the details, sorting out the payment, securing the aeroplane seat, online check in, hotel details, airport transfers, visa and passport stuff, changing money arrangements, packing, letting the trusted neighbours know and all that kind of malarkey.

    Sort of thing I fret and check over for at least two weeks.

    So if a person is going to Dubai for ten days, is it like you wake up in the morning, and you're on the aeroplane in the afternoon?

    Or does it take a bit of time in preparation?

    Using my experience, either staff at the club must have known this was coming, or they were told at the last minute even though it was coming for a while.

    Or maybe it is possible to bog off to Dubai for 10 days on impulse.

    Surely Tony Keohane must've been told, unless he has had special 'what to do if the boss bogs off on impulse' training?

    Happy to answer the call.

    Mr Crisis Controller told her it would be a good idea to hide for a while.

    The last Championship club CEO to visit Dubai ended up staying a little longer than 10 days...
    Ah @PragueAddick...it's always the hope that kills ya!! :wink:
  • This is akin to Jim Callaghan 's behaviour in the winter of discontent!

  • poor petal, must be under a lot of stress because of those weird (meaning unique) supporters who keep protesting because roland isn't making himself bankrupt for the club {...} why won't you weirdos (meaning uniqueo's) leave her {...} alone? She's lovely and cares and is the best boss the staff {...} have ever {...} had.

    Going on holiday would indicate that KM does some work. I would like to know what she actually does apart from being an ideal target on my dartboard.
    P.S I don't own a dartboard but if I did there would be a picture of KM covering the bullseye.

    So does that mean that shit is about to hit the fan.Wonder what the next 10days hold in her life.
    Coming back to work just before the Brighton home game think she might have wished she had extended her holiday for afew more weeks.

    maybe taking advantage of her remaining leave before she gets the boot/leaves when Roland sells in the summer?
  • I suspect that Duchatelet will say that she asked for, and was given, his agreement that she could take time off - no doubt citing the pressure she has been under of late. However, given the current antipathy between supporters and club management/owner, it beggars belief that she should even consider making such a request, thus giving her opponents even more ammunition that she should be relieved of her duties permanently.
    Of course, if she is feeling the strain, then now is the time to ramp up the pressure on her.
  • Pressure?

    These are the words Katrien wrote in the programme against QPR first game of the season:

    'From a personal point of view, I realise that from now on there's no one to hide behind anymore'

    Leaving aside the poor use of English (now on...anymore) she signals that it is personal and she realises something.

    I reckon there will be plenty of people in Dubai to hide behind.

  • Perhaps she's doing a deal on some new laundry baskets.
