I'm sorry but I don't see the issue here. Do people really want to socialise with the crap players at our club? Aside from solly or Jackson, I could care less about anyone else.
Daisy wants to run it. Let her run it.
Fanny should tell em to stick it and set up a seperate event. Get some of the old boys down. Powell, brown, robinson etc. Beer, a few nibbles and a lot of laughs to get over another crap season. Sorted.
Meire wants to be the star of her show. She can't abide fans doing anything for themselves. The Fans Forum were set-up to be stooges so the Regime can pretend they are consulting with the fan-base. The organisers should refuse to co-operate and organise their own poll if need-be and boycott Meire's takeover event until she's eventually kicked-out. I wouldn't be bothered about attending in any event but this still makes me angry on behalf of those who have made considerable personal efforts to run this event very successfully in the past. I remember the old do's when we were celebrating a good season. Not quite the same in relegation years is it?
Fans' Forum was set up BEFORE this regime came and many, maybe all, are far from stooges.
Good point but they are being used as stooges nonetheless.
Minutes suggest not. Sure, Meire is happy to say "look, we've met with fans again" but they are trying to ask her difficult questions.
No such group will ever be perfect and I think it could be improved but not fair to label all the members stooges.
- I haven't phrased that very well. What I mean is that the agenda is controlled, the meetings infrequent and from my knowledge they are often not listened to, which effectively means they are being used....
I agree that any pressing or contentious issues she will avoid but it does still mean she has to face the questions and in some cases actions and improvements have happened.
It is far from perfect but it takes a willing CEO able to listen and act for it to work properly.
If the club run it they will fill it with friends & family of the Academy & Women's teams if necessary and from the community trust.
We could have a POTY "do", with very few actual fans there.
I'm still unsure whether Meire's key objective is to actually destroy the club.
It's really hard to believe that anyone can be that stupid.
It not so much stupid but self-centred.
It's all about her image, her success, her hurt feelings, her ego, her imposter complex, her career.
Every action is to make her look good or in most cases less bad.
Every perceived slight or sign of greater knowledge or ability in others has to be attacked. That could be by banning people, stopping them speaking, ignoring them or taking the credit for their hard work.
Nothing is about what's best for the club short or long term, it's all about her.
Sounds like an Oyston
She'll be meeting them next season in all probability.

Hadn't thought of that , they'll be swapping a lot of stories.
This is outrageous. Some people never change. Vindictive way of running a club, let's **** off all of our fans especially when we are in the lowly position we are. Another mistake they won't learn from.

Agree.
Don't know why anyone would want to sit with these players, at the end of another exasperating season; let alone set something up for this regime, for a do with Meire et al in attendance.
I suppose that having it after the last game means getting all the loanees to go. They won't be very interested in the spirit of the occasion anyway. KM is getting all the flak here but I smell a rat behind it all. Just a hunch.

I can understand why people might take this view, but, just to be contrary...
Under the current f'wit regime, Charlton Athletic is being progressively stripped of all the elements that made it proper Charlton.
The POTY this season cannot be the celebration that it would have been under a Curbishley or Powell, or any other vaguely competent footballing leadership, but a fan run event is a tangible link with what makes our club special.
Most of the "professionals" brought in by the regime won't give a toss if it doesn't happen, but I think it's important, for our Academy graduates if no one else, to keep alive the links between the players and fans.
Losing the POTY is not, in isolation, a disaster, but what it represents is is the further destruction of our (not the Belgian Shareholder's) club, and is a step further along the road to a time where, unless the regime can be encouraged to leave, establishing a new Charlton may be the only option.
Meire is clearly some kind of psychopath. I don't mean she's going to go out and slice up 20 strangers, but she clearly has no empathy with anyone else, can only see things from her point of view, and does not comprehend emotion. She needs help.
Notes from the Fans Forum says "KM noted that the suggestion of an afternoon event was up for discussion and at this stage is just a proposal, and the club’s preference to attract more children to the event."
It would appear to be more lies from KM, nothing changes.
I would like to say that the concept of collaboration is a good one. If what the club lists are proposals and not an imposition then it is possible to discuss things. The proposals as far as I can tell have not been thought up by any supporter group and are entirely the idea of somebody at the club it seems. I won't dismiss everything on principle because they come from the underlings of Roland Duchatelet and Katrien Meire.
I agree with this view in principle, maybe some club involvement but final arrangements with the current team. However, the regime aren't sitting at number one in the popularity stakes currently, neither were they last year, so they'd be best off forgetting it until they turn things around (which could well be unlikely, but who knows). IMO obviously.
Scrub that. In view of what Airman stated I wouldn't want them within 10,000 miles of it.
What utter bollocks from Meire and Co, another example of how they have no understanding of the history and traditions of OUR club.
If anything, as the natural successor to CASC, the Trust should now run this event on behalf of the fans given that, sorry to Fanny and Killerjerrylee, the fans forum is totally ineffective now.
ITS A FAN LEAD EVENT KATRIEN, IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN!
Oh and giving out a trophy to the women's team poty is nothing new.

Whereas Fanny is a class act, and always has been,</blockquote
I only met Fanny for the first time on Saturday and needless to say, really enjoyed her company in Belgium. It was also clear the affection felt for her by fellow travellers. I can only endorse the esteem in which she is held!
The irony is that Jean is actually the current Supporter of the Year !
Sorry, I don't know many real names from here but Jesus wept. Is that really true? If so I'd publicly return the award to Katrien stating that the feeling is mutual.
Fanny should tell them she's not going to bother and everyone should boycott it. See how well the event goes when not a single fan apart from freeloader Perks turn up.
Not surprised at this at all. Meire is an arrogant, attention-seeking woman who has spectacularly f****d up in every way at the club in her three years here. The only things that still work or that are successful is the stuff she hasn't stuck her beek into. She knows this, she knows she's a failure. Piggybacking on others goodwill and success to try and pass it off as her own is just what I'd expect from her.

Yes, Jean (Fanny) got the award last year. Think that is what got up Kat's rather ample nose!

Daisy trying to bulldozer it through.
It must stay independent or the fans withdraw their work and support.
