For once, I would like Meire to say precisely why she thinks supproters are upset, not this vague 'I know why fans are upset, but not explain it'. These sessions are not that helpful as Meire does not appear to be subjected to any critical questioning.
Why does this line from The Rat episode of Fawlty Towers come to mind:
Basil: Can't we get you on Mastermind, Sybil Katrien? Next contestant Sybil Fawlty Katrien Meire from Torquay, Belgium special subject the bleeding obvious.
Despite everyone in that room looking miserable she still has that smug smirk on her face.
I don't understand why they describe the target20k group as our group, unless they mean 'our' in terms of the tiny group of unrepresentative people involved plus club representatives who wish to use them as a way of saying they are communicating with fans (I think I counted six of them).
It is 'their' group, but not 'ours' in terms of the wider fan base, because the wider fan base would not be trying so hard to drive down attendances with the stupid ticket buying rules.
Katrien says she knows why fans are staying away, did she tell anybody then?
Kartien also says she wants to show the fans it is their club. Well Katrien I want to win euromillions, but to do that I have to take some action, have a plan even, perhaps purchase a ticket. As far as I can tell this fresh start has produced a number of alienating actions thought up by morons like Tony Keohane and herself.
Doesn't she realise it will never be our club again until she restores our beloved sofa?
She says there were mistakes. Well she should list them, it will only take a four hour long meeting, and now wants to do things the 'English way'. No Katrien, do things the right way. We don't mind you're not English, we do mind you're a lying incompetent CEO who despises fans and appoints idiots around her.
Then we have a liking for the academy, but success takes time. I am presuming time enough to sell off the fruits of the academy tout suite like Cousins, Harriott and Holmes-Dennis, and bring in past it players like Johnson, Crofts and Foley.
I would love somebody to post on this thread and try to convince me that things are actually goodish, and getting better. I would accept any narrative that is well constructed and credible.
Who is the fat bloke in a white shirt slouched to the right of Meire
A member of the SMT we put our faith in. Someone has clearly told Meire that if she keeps saying they have learned their lessons we will all start being nice to her and buying back season tickets. There can be no other explanation.

Looks like he's taking copious notes, so perhaps we will get some feedback on here later.
Let's hope KM can fend them off with a pack of Wurthers Originals or else she'll never make it out alive!
