“I read in the press that Charlton fans knew where and when I took the train. They told me they would throw me under the train when they saw me.

You never know when you'll bump into that one crazy man. ”Katrien Meire, 34, from Limburg, experienced a nightmare as CEO of London's Charlton football team where Roland Duchâtelet had parachuted her. Now she becomes a manager at Club Brugge, the team of Bart Verhaeghe who is increasingly being led professionally. Duchâtelet himself meanwhile continues to work patiently on his retreat from football. For example, he recently sold the Spanish second-division team Alcorcon. For 14 million euros.
The entrepreneur Roland Duchâtelet unites a number of qualities. In this way he knows how to surround himself with young, promising forces. The lawyer Katrien Meire, from Tongeren, was one of them. In 2014, she was placed as the 29-year-old neophyte by Roland Duchâtelet at the head of the British club Charlton Athletic. She would clash with the British football mentality that does not allow foreign invaders. After three years of blood, sweat and tears, she left the London club. She managed to put her defeat in perspective, but it still remained a defeat. Now she returns to Belgium along the big gate. She will be the operational manager of Club Brugge. She gets control over management on match days, for the stadium, the suppliers, the hospitality industry and the new training center in Westkapelle. Vincent Mannaert remains CEO, but will focus on sporting policy. Bob Madou, Steven Martens' right-hand man when he was the CEO of the football association, becomes the non-sporting boss. He receives the commercial policy for sponsors, companies and fans.
It is true that you never know when you will bump into one crazy person, but it is untrue to label Charlton fans in that way. She travelled by train in perfect safety. Yes a bloke had a verbal go at her once after a bad defeat, but other fans kept him in check.
Her problem was she went into the job without the experience, believing that her benefactor and boss was right when he was wrong. That and the arrogance of youth meant she was a disaster. But she isn't mad like Roland is and it is quite possible she has learned a lot the hard way.
“She would clash with the British football mentality that does not allow foreign invaders”
Are they joking? I doubt there’s another league on earth with more foreign players, managers and owners than the English league. I really hope that’s not the story she’s spinning, but it doesn’t surprise me.

Both her and Roland have implied that either Charlton fans specifically, or English supporters in general, don't like foreigners on numerous occasions.
As well as ignoring, as you say, that vast amount of foreigners involved in the English game, she also ignores the fact that, right in front of her very eyes, Radostin Kishishev and Yann Kermorgant received heroes' welcomes when they returned to The Valley.
Not worth getting annoyed about - everything she says is either poison or stupidity. Having said that, I am annoyed.
'She will be the operational manager of Club Brugge. She gets control over management on match days, for the stadium, the suppliers, the hospitality industry and the new training center in Westkapelle. Vincent Mannaert remains CEO, but will focus on sporting policy.'

so basically a demotion then.
It seems to be a position that would involve some actual work, so maybe not a role she is best suited to.

Thankfully she isn't our problem now.

She still can't get over it.
Just allow her to continue to not be able to get over it....by telling lies.
She's the joke, not us.
She's history
