We need to accept there will never be any meaningful dialogue with her as she's unable to listen to anyone who is critical. She genuinely believes she's doing a good job and won't entertain any other views.
She serves no purpose whatsoever other than to help destroy our club. A ludicrous deluded woman who lost touch with reality a long time ago and is indulged in her fantasy by RD.

No point in complaining she won't speak if we complain every time she speaks.
Katrien probably doesn't care about the Kent score!
She could and should have tried to address people's concerns, admit mistakes and explain what she is doing to rectify them.
Instead she has tried to pack out meetings to avoid being asked too many questions, insisted she is right when clearly she isn't ("all the managers have proved to be a success") and has ignored her Head of Comms and PR advisor. Both have now left.
She has never formulated a consistent, positive narrative about the future of the club and has constantly been caught out in the most obvious lies.
I'll complain as much as I want while such an incompetent is running my club.
She has destroyed any credibility or goodwill she had (and she did have a lot early on) with her lies and insistence that she has never been wrong.
And her body language and tone of voice in those meetings are terrible, something her Head of Comms told her to her face but she has ignored.
But I agree there is little point in asking her to communicate any more.
All I want to her from her is "I'm leaving"
The Pinocchio Test
Where possible, we will adopt the following standard in fact-checking the claims of a football club owner, diplomat or Katrien Meire.
We do make some allowance for statements made in live interviews, as opposed to a prepared text. We will judge more harshly statements from a prepared text, on the grounds that KM and Mandy had time to discuss the statistic. We also make allowances if Katrien Meire acknowledges an error was made. Finally, we also have a feature called “Recidivism Watch,” which highlights claims repeated by even though the claim has been previously debunked
The WP Pinocchio Scoring system is in this article .....

How defensive is that - we only complain because she has not managed to provide a fair and truthful response to any of the questions that have been posed. You make it sound like it is our fault.
I'm sorry but you've only yourself to blame.
Try Karen Brady, although don't mention her new place and how your a taxpayer and certainly don't take her for a weekend in "Prague" that could kill your chances stone dead.
When she asked 'Why do you think our club is not run properly' the Telegraph journalist Jim White responded to this in his later published article with Well, where do you start?' and proceeded to demolish Meire's rose-tinted and increasingly deluded view not only of recent events but her part in them which might be summed up as, Yes, unfortunate and disappointing to be relegated but these things happen and it was nothing to do with me and it wasn't my fault!
So, all bridges have been burnt and there is indeed no dialogue to be had with Meire, quite frankly who would want to now?
CAST have accepted this state of affairs and have begun instead to attempt to call Meire to account for her atrocious behaviour as CEO in making comments which only serve to inflame (see other thread CAST to consider FA action).
Now that we have reached this state (i.e, that there is no point in trying to talk reason with Meire), it is high time that she is called publicly to account for the damage she has done to this club (some of it irreparable) and to be made aware that her arrogant, highly dismissive attitude will not be tolerated.
She is a discredited, deluded fantasist propped up only by an equally deluded pseudo-visionary.
That she simply cannot see any of this defies reason and makes a total mockery of the five years of supposed first class analytical training and education provided to her by her prestigious University in Leuven.
What the hell was doing there all that time?

To be clear though. It's not the talking bit that most of us have ever had a problem with, it's the talking shit bit!
And an even greater gap between her perception and ours, as to her abilities and effectiveness in that role.
She plays at being CEO, the same way as RD plays at being an owner of a football club.
Why waste any more time trying to talk to either of them?
