    I thought was already doing stuff.
  • There isn't a head of communication to report when he's due to start. That or it's Richard Murray.
  • Which would mean they're a maximum of four days into the job. I'm not sure what you expect in that time
  • The CEO stated someone is starting work on this the begining of Febuary to my understanding.Nothing up on o/s site at moment.Think the person was coming from Belgium and was female.

    Oh, I'm getting confused with the premier league PR person. Interim communications...

    Communication from the club does need attention - ever since the season ticket fiasco I keep getting emails calling me Alison!

    It was covered in that Fans Forum video link.
    Mel Baroni I believe was her name. Hasn't update her social media with her new role yet. Perhaps she needs her own PR person?
    Edited to add her twitter account says she's a Londoner - South of the river always.

    We all know about our CEO's legendary speed interviewing skills and perfect matching of qualifications to the demands of the job. Expect a replacement before the end of the season.

    We shouldn't laugh the Head of BullshitCommunications is a very important position in modern corporations - or at least that is what it said in KM's CEO Level 1 powerpoint.
  • Holding up a red and white scarf in a football stadium on the LinkedIn profile. Not sure it is The Valley, though?

    A locked Twitter account. Good to see she's open on one of the main communication channels in her profession.

    Graduated in 2010 and worked for M&C Sattchi since so about 26/27 years old. Fair play to her.

    Looks fit though. ;-)

    So no relevant experience. Sounds ideal.

    I think it's the posh seats at Arsenal

    Lols, they probably skipped the interview process (again) thinking they were onto a winner with that pic :wink:
  • Hmmm... what Charlton need right now for their comms is a grizzled, experienced professional. The kind of person who can sit KM down and deliver a few home truths to her, then change the strategy. Maybe even engineer an apology from KM for the Dublin thing. That'd be a start.

    Instead, we've got someone in their mid-20s who KM presumably thinks will just take orders. I wish Mel B (zig-a-zig-ah!) all the best, but I really wouldn't want to be in her shoes.

    She does have a degree in sports journalism which is directly related to her role although that is a big jump to Head of Communications.

    Yes, she is young and I agree with @InspectorSands that what KM needs is people more experienced than herself not less although, again, Mel's management CV seems stronger than KMs in terms of team management.

    Her appearance is, or at least should, be irrelevant.

    Good luck Mel, I hope you listen to your comms team and stand up to Tony Cahones when he tries to bully you and to Katrien when she comes out with yet another silly idea like getting rid of the programme.
  • I would have preferred someone more experienced, but by the look of things her background is reasonably relevant (degree in Sports Journalism, and worked on the Sport side of Saatchi)

    Someone for Katrien to talk to as well :smile:

    BBQ's in the car park actually sound quite good (on the three weekends a season that it isn't minus four hundred and/or raining).

    Better communication with us will be well down her list of priorities.

    Let's not be too quick to give her a hard time. It's just another poor hire.

    Oh joy! :-1:
