What kind of protection does she envisage for owners. She's a lawyer so I'm incredibly intrigued. Lock up 7,000 people when we protest?
Owners have the right to use tear gas and water cannons when they see fit?
I think she's criticising the police. The regime can't understand that their priority is public order rather than ensuring Katrien has a nice matchday experience.
It is very worrying. Her arragance seems to know no bounds. She has alienated the fans, lied, made embarrassing decisions. The result is around 95% + of fans protest. The media recognise and in general support the plight of the fans. But she continues as if nothing has happened. Does she not understand the fans anger and why?
She is deluded and completely out of her depth. She hasn't a clue about football or its culture and she is naive beyond belief. How she is still in her job is unbelievable - could someone explain why?
"Charlton Athletic CEO pops up Having heard the Addicks mentioned along with the likes of Leeds and Portsmouth as poorly-run clubs, Katrien Meire - the club's CEO - pitched in from the audience.
She's very upset with fans' aggression towards the club's ownership - Charlton were just relegated, to the fury of already-disaffected fans - and told the panel that "sometimes the fans cross the line."
Minutes earlier, the onstage trio - Ed Warner, chair of UK Athletics, Damian Collins MP, of the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, and Jane Purdon, formerly of the Premier League and now Head of Governance at UK Sport - had discussed shoddy ownership with our very own Jim White, moderating.
Collins had called for football administrators to have more power to challenge club takeovers, but Meire wanted more protection for owners.
Purdon sympathised, but added: "We have to accept that all that passion drives football."
Charlton fans - what do you make of this?"
Seems like it would've been quite embarrassing for her.
And she wonders why the club have tried to put a muzzle on her. She wouldn't need protection if she didn't work for a shoddy owner.
Why has this clueless journo tweeted this crap? Has he read anything about her systematic draining of the club and all its worth? If she has had criminal offences against her that is not right but what?
The Irony of visiting an event such as this to stand up for toxic owners rights, while the club she is so keen to promote she is good for is falling apart Before her very eyes!

Declan Warrington is a Charlton fan - he knows the score.

She has supposedly been advised not to speak to the media... but she goes to a conference ran by a huge media outlet (telegraph) and runs off her mouth. I bet her PR team are shitting themselves.
I think this is on par with Rolands hijack of the cafc club statement that led to the resignation of our head of comms...

Her PR team walked a long time ago for this very reason.
That's why she's been let off the leash and is spouting crap in public again.
'Business leaders and sporting professionals will engage in vibrant debate providing unique insights into the latest thinking and demonstrating new benchmarks for the industry.' I wonder if she has recommended House music and a sofa to them yet? Does she have any other ideas or just examples of incompetence?
She obviously there to get her face seen by people who matter, and also by asking questions she in effect makes a statement because nobody has a right to challenge or even question her. And who has given the advice not to speak to the media? It can only be Roland because there's nobody else at the club who would be in a position to make that recommendation.

Before anybody looks it up and comments about me, I know I'm thick, so presumably I'm not.
When people have dug themselves into a deep hole, they normally have the common sense to stop digging.
It's now the main headline of the event.
She's doing our job for us. Brilliant.

How much more has she got in her locker?
She proves daily how out of depth she is ---- sport--- CEO--- management at any level---- a total embarrassment. The real football world can see it
