Feel this might warrant it's own thread. DK what the FA can do other than voice general dismay though

  • Adds some pressure but yeah, what is realistically gonna happen
  • OR

    FA: We're concerned about whats happening with the protests at Charlton... Will any of this make our image look bad?
    KM: Oh no, dont worry we have it in hand
    FA: Thanks, bye
  • she'll just lie to them and tell them what they want to hear. Unless RD fails the fit and proper person test as it currently stands, and he won't, then there is nothing they can actually do. Another embarrassment though.
  • Least it gives another section some excuses if we lose Saturday

    "Thanks to the protesters, KM was called to a meeting with the FA on Wednesday when she could have been interviewing for a candidate who would have overseen a resounding victory over Port Vale, instead they've put us closer to relegation"

  • maybe she will send Sue Perks with a tray of vol-au-vonts in her place
  • Interesting. I'm not hopeful though.

    I've always thought that the Fit and Proper Persons test finds out how much money the potential owner has and how many debts they have (almost like a bog standard credit check when requesting a mortgage or loan)

    The years when nearly every club went into Administration, and the times when Bournemouth and Luton were given hefty fines along with Portsmouth going bust ruined the FA's image and made everything look less than rosy here in English Football - Because of that the Fit and Proper test came into effect to ensure that this never happened again.

    And it hasnt
  • FA are cowards so nothing will be done, but hopefully it might scare her a little

    I desperately hope she is suspended forthwith.

    The club can't run as RD chooses without her (albeit terribly)

    Meire out.

    The vol-au-vents wouldn't make it past London Bridge.
  • maybe worth it if the publicity gets back to Belgium - a bad week continues for Uncle Roly...
  • Least it gives another section some excuses if we lose Saturday

    The speed she interviews, there is NO excuse.
  • Just the governing body covering their arses. Nothing will come of it.

    Scare her??? - She's one of two (?) women in the top four Leagues of English Football and she's got history of playing the victim card

    They wouldnt dare do anything

  • Do they actually have any authority though? Fair enough Summoning her, but if they actually wanted to do something, what could they possibly do?
  • Slightly bemused as to what the purpose of the summons is. The FA cannot actually do anything to the club for their actions as she can claim that she is trying to do the best for the club she loves etc etc. And even if she turned up and admitted she couldn't give a flying one, what could the old men in suits do?

    Nothing.

    Exactly... they cant take Charlton Athletic away from these owners because who'd pay the wages for Players / Staff (down to those who man the ticket office) at the club.

    I guess the only thing they could do is enforce Administration upon us that doesnt see us get a 10-point deduction which'll hopefully allows a new party to come in and takeover the club
  • There's more to this than just summoning her... There's been an ongoing report/inquiry for the last two months.

    On what grounds could they do that? They couldn't do anything like that, we haven't broken any rules.

    Exactly... the only conversation they could have is:

    FA: Sell the club
    KM: No
    FA: Sell the club
    KM: No

    You get the idea
  • At least we know where she'll be tomorrow if anyone local wanted to go along and protest...

    If a person fails the fit and proper person test, the FA can order them removed as a director of the club.

    Problem is, neither Meire nor Duchatelet fail the fit and proper person test because it's mostly to do with criminality or financial issues.
