Another 2+2=5 theory but do you think RD and KM are looking for someone to blame for the season ticket numbers being down? The VOTV a few issues back mentioned KM setting the ticket office targets for half season tickets so I wonder if she did the same for renewals and those numbers not being hit has meant heads rolling?
Could be way off the mark but I wouldn't put anything past this lot......
Harry Truman had the statement on his desk that 'the buck stops here'.
It would seem that the buck stops rather lower down when it comes to our esteemed SMT

Soon it will only be KM left in the SMT - God help the cleaner.

Happy to blame Squirrel Face for anything from bad signings to global warming, but somehow doubt it was targets etc as even SF at her worst couldn't blame the ticket office for that. More likely seems to be that Mandy's budgets/staffing for 2016-17 had been slashed to a point she thought they were unworkable - I imagine relegation and bad management has caused the same to happen in all areas - and she decided to get out of a shambles before it became even worse.
The spiraling cost of stewarding and policing home matches can't have helped budgets, allied to plummeting attendances and boycotts of goods and services. Can't imagine Mandy will be the last to jump ship as the consequences of life under Roland really hit home.
It must be diabolical working there these days. Everybody must be totally skint after all the collections for people leaving.
Can't imagine Katrien digs deep into her pocket. A massive grin along with a "sorry, left my purse at home" as good as it gets. But bet she manages an inspirational and uplifting message on the leaving card ...

A few, brown, Euro coins in the pot, then a long gushing message indicating that she put a few sheets of folding in.
Another reason , could be perhaps that KM and RD are furious that Mandy had looked into/hinted at giving refunds/compensation to those stuck behind the next vs Burnley!?

I suspect Mandy was told to keep schtum on the whole refund subject until Katrien had come up with a cunning plan to mug us all off (still waiting.... ).
Storming out of a meeting and effectively resigning without notice would indicate she was at the end of her rope with the job anyway.
I heard that the last straw came when a few at the back of the East Stand, put down their Werthers, stowed their blankets and flasks under their seats, and chanted.
'Sell all yer tickets, you couldn't sell all yer tickets'.
The uprising was soon quelled by those around them with utterances of 'Tsk Tsk, 'Whatever next?'

After the amount of money that has been wasted at Charlton in the last 12 months on poor player acquisitions, policing and Katriens £1500 a day conferences, I can't believe there's any money left in the kitty.
Given her obvious incompetertance, it's a satisfying to see her gone. If it's due to abysmal season ticket sales it will be even funnier. Imaging agreeing a target for sales in the current climate! Can't have been a big surprise, even to poor Mandy.

But Murrey had also gone to see him for some courage.
Unbelievably Tony was in the queue for a heart
While all KM wanted was to get back to Belgium.
The almighty wizard, who was really a little wimp with taped up shoes
Just told them all to fuck off or resign.

All part of making the club unmanageable.
RD: "But whom? We have already sacked everybody who actually runs the club"
KM: "I have a list"
RD (reads): "Hmm. I'm not sure about this first name. Richard Murray. He knows where the bodies are buried"
Silence as RD reads on.
RD: "Katrien, we've already sacked most of these"
(Katrien shrugs and stares out of the window, dreaming of Bruges)
KM: "I can't tell the difference. Charlton staff and fans all look the same to me"
RD: "Hang on. Who is this?"
KM: "Hmmm? Oh. She was helping to make it more difficult for customers to buy tickets"
RD: "They have been buying tickets? Why wasn't I told? Her work here is done"
